A student is primarily a person enrolled in a school or other educational institution and who is under learning with goals of acquiring knowledge, developing professions and achieving employment at desired field. In the broader sense, a student is anyone who applies themselves to the intensive intellectual engagement with some matter necessary to master it as part of some practical affair in which such mastery is basic or decisive.
In the United Kingdom and most commonwealth countries, the term "student" denotes those enrolled in secondary schools and higher (e.g., college or university); those enrolled in primary/elementary schools are called "pupils".
I'm going to be a first year grad student in the Fall. What is a typical course load in grad school? I will be leading recitation for 2 hours a week, plus 2-3 hours of "office" hours. I know most people take 12-15 or so hours during underdrad, but this seems like too many for grad school. I was...

HOLY COW! I've got a BS in mathematics, which means my math/science/liberal arts/non-core stuff is already out of the way.
I'm still going to be taking 15 credit hours a semester for the next three years!
HOW can engineering be such an intense discipline?!
By my calculations, it's...
I got accepted into a fairly competitive three-year program at my high school where we work with local colleges on scientific research and I need to choose what to do within the next couple of months. We publish our findings with several science organizations/magazines, so I want to pick a field...
I am in great physics PhD program in my first year, and classes aren't going all that well. Last semester I barely made it with a 3.0 gpa, which is the minimum required. I tried to study and work on the homework gradually, utilizing my classmates to bounce ideas off of. This was a big step...

Im 21 and should be graduating in December with a BS in Accounting and BS in Finance. Now that I'm actually close to graduating, I'm beginning to think more about life after college. One thing I've realized is that I don't like business. Sure I could go through with it and be successful, but I'd...
Ok, after going thru the proof, the only think that still eludes me is the region of definition given in the theorem itself. The rectangle where f and the partial of f with respect to y are known to be continuous.
I am thinking of this three dimensionally, and I do not know if this is the...
I'm taking a Linear Algebra / Vector Calculus course this semester as part of a maths major for my Comp Sci undergrad. degree. We don't have a prescribed text, but I'd very much like a hard copy of something that I can reference. The course is somewhat compressed compared to what the Maths...
I graduated a four year physics course at a quite highly rated British university in 2011, and am now 24 years old. I managed a to graduate with a 1st and am now into the first year of my PhD, but I sometimes question if I'm really that competent/knowledgeable. I feel as though I have forgotten...
I am on a Formula Student team and we have decided to design our own brushless AC motor. Our main issue is how we will cool the motor, since we want to keep weight down while also increasing power output. We will be making the rotor from forged Titanium (Ti6Al4V) and the housing from forged...
Hello, every one. I'm more of a lurker than a poster here on these forums, but I have my moments. Here's one. :3

What books would you encourage a physics student to read, that you overall enjoyed. It doesn't just have to be about physics. I'm currently reading, "Euclid's Window" and it is almost all about Math, which I have no problem with.
I guess what I'm asking is what should I read (or watch, or do)...
Hello all,
I am a new member here and am currently doing my PhD in nanoscience related area. My husband is a successful phd and currently in academia. I joined phd right after my masters, and hence have no industry experience. However, I am keen to enter industry after I graduate...
I am a 1st year Masters student. I started working with an adjunct out of department faculty member last semester and she mentioned that she'd fund in Spring. But now she says it won't be until this Fall. In the mean time I applied for a few TA positions, but didn't get any of them. Just heard...

Hi everyone, I have posted one or two questions in classical physics, but I'm basically new here.
I'm relatively new physics student. I've been studying physics in university about a year by no, although the interest in physics comes from far behind.
I'm relatively good at maths, although...
Is this at all possible? I am currently a high school junior with little to no physics experience except for maby my current AP physics B class, but other then that I know nothing, so is it possible to get some sort of position at a college to help with reaserch? I am in no way looking to get...

hey guys. so basically I am in Canada and taking AP physics C. for those you that don't know ap in Canada is self guided, unless the school is big enough to facilitate ap classes. any tips on how to study/ textbooks will be appreciated. Thanks.
Hi,
I am a high school student, and I am trying to learn set theory (it's not for school - independent study; I love it). I have a book (Takeuti/Zaring Introduction to Axiomatic Set) Theory and I am going through it, but I feel like I'm going way to slowly (after trying to go through it for...
