Engineering or Maths&Physics degree?? OK so currently I am a first year student studying a Bachelor in Science in Mathematics and Physics. I am enjoying it quite a lot, i love problem solving and the satisfaction you get once you manage a question. However i am feeling doubtful about what type...

Homework Statement if A is a subset of B, then Bc \ C is a subset of Ac \ C for any set C Homework Equations A is a subset of B = for all elements in A are also elements in B A\B = the complement of a set B in a set A A\B= A and Bc The Attempt at a Solution I tried...

Yes in fact in the first semester we have a small study unit of programming, however its only Pascal, nothing major and we didnt learn much besides the basics: like loops, procedures functions etc. I don't know about other years but I am not so sure well do much more programming. Probably you...

Actually I am living and studying in Malta. Yes, yes i am aware of the fact that every job has its advantages and disadvantages, that you may find some things boring, whilst others interesting, but that's life I suppose. What worries me is if I can find a job with a BSc maths and physics...

Im currently a first year student in a bachelors in Maths and in Physics and I am wondering if this course is worth it. Can i get a good, well-paid job after this course? However, I am not interested in teaching or becoming a professor. Would i be able to work in the financial sector? Or would i...

Just watched the trailer, very good, ill look out for it in theaters. Should give me a good idea about what I might be doing later on, unless i find Physics very appealing. In fact this winter ill be going to CERN as an educational trip, and ill see how that goes too.

Intereseting. So I guess what I should do at this point is just focus on what I like, and then deal with finding a job after I graduate, who knows what would happen until then. I'm sure that I won't be unemployed with a bachelors in maths and physics. If need be, next year I'll repeat first...

Well, I am 18 right now, and i can't imagine myself moving to a different country with no friends or family and starting afresh. Even the thought of it frightens me. Maybe when I am older, ill realize that its not such a bad thing. But until then, i'd prefer working in Malta

Ye but the thing is, i live in Malta and there arent many job opportunities for physicists, even more so for astrophysicists! This is why I am a bit worried about my future. I also think that if I am this sure that I'm going to work in the financial sector, that I am wasting my time studying a...

Yes, i realized that i needed to use Newtons 2nd Law. What i did was split it up in two, from 0 to V and then from V to 2V. the first part i managed to find the time and distance easily using equations of motion. However for the second part i didn't know what the resultant force was. It gives...

Homework Statement The resultant force acting on a train of mass m starting from rest on a level track is a constant P for speeds less than V . For speeds greater than V the power exerted by the resultant force has a constant value PV . Find the time taken to reach a speed 2V from rest, and...

Thanks, i actually managed it, it came b/3 :) Thanks for the help.

can i work in the financial sector after Bsc maths and physics?? Im currently a first year student in BSc maths & Physics and i would like to know if i would be able to work in the financial sector after i graduate? Or do you have to have a degree in finance, or in statistics? Also, i would...

Homework Statement A Particle is place on a smooth sphere of radius b at a distance b/2 above the central plane. As the particle slides down the side of the sphere at what point will it leave? Homework Equations potential and kinetic energies The Attempt at a Solution no idea

Yes yes in malta there are opportunities for architects and structural engineers, but I am not so sure on the research part. But are you a structural engineer yourself? because id want to know what they do on a daily basis, and what they did during their university degree? did they have to...
