As a student I studied math and electrical engineering. If I told someone I was a math major they typically didn't find it very interesting or have anything further to say about that. If I told someone I was an engineering major they often seemed to think it was more interesting and some...
It looks like 1/x and -1/x are incorrect, but if you use your imagination they work. I think the others are all good though.
edit: actually sinx is a graph of -sinx
At my university the electrical engineering students were required to take two java programming courses through the computer science department. With only these two courses and perhaps an additional course in data structures and algorithms, the electrical engineering students were highly...
I once had a physics professor who gave challenging exams consisting of only two problems. He assigned grades by giving the top 10% a 4.0 and the average a 2.7. With these two points he made a linear equation to determine each student's grade by their percentage. Usually the class average was...
Since you like physics you could try taking some semiconductor optics courses as well. They are interesting and should expand your employment opportunities. I don't know about the bay area specifically, but there are plenty of jobs within the defense industry in California which advertise for...
Also you might consider where you live. People seem to be a lot more formal on the east coast, as opposed to places like seattle where its acceptable to get married in a Seahawks jersey. Almost none of the professors at U of Washington wear suits to work.
The University of Washington allows one to pursue optics within the electrical engineering department. EE students are required to take three fundamental courses and beyond that they simply need to satisfy at least one of about a dozen different concentrations (power electronics, controls...
Usually the university websites will have admission statistics and often individual departments if they require separate admissions. You might also try www.collegeboard.org. You will still have to do a bit of inference to determine the overall statistics of the upper half or quartile.
This is simply not true unless maybe you are dealing with children or high school students. I have tutored math at various capacities for years and would consider it on par with teaching. Never has my job involved ensuring the student does their homework; always has it involved doing my best to...
I have been tutoring math and physics at my university for several years now, and there really is no one size fits all approach; every student is different, not just their preferred learning style but their background or what they are expecting from a tutor. Some students struggle or haven't put...
