AI Thread Summary
Training for the International Physics Olympiad (IPhO) presents challenges, particularly in balancing school studies with the extensive IPhO curriculum. A participant is focusing on optics and waves, specifically topics like dispersion and interference, but is seeking additional study materials and brief lectures to aid their preparation. The discussion includes links to past problems and resources that may assist in studying for the competition. Participants express excitement about the event and share their backgrounds, with some mentioning their intent to attend and meet notable figures in physics.

I am training for IPHO, but it is difficult for me, to study for school and also for the large ipho curriculum. I could work it out until now, that I am studying optics and waves (dispersion, interferences), because now i don't have much material to study from. Can someone help me, give some brief lectures? Thanks in advance.

Thread 'What are the best A-Level options for someone wanting to do Physics?'

Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...

Thread 'Hepth programs in Europe'

After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...

Thread 'My Grade 11 Math mark is eating me alive. What do I do?'

I'm going to make this one quick since I have little time. Background: Throughout my life I have always done good in Math. I almost always received 90%+, and received easily upwards of 95% when I took normal-level HS Math courses. When I took Grade 9 "De-Streamed" Math (All students must take "De-Streamed" in Canada), I initially had 98% until I got very sick and my mark had dropped to 95%. The Physics teachers and Math teachers talked about me as if I were some sort of genius. Then, an...
