    Classical Mechanics: Understanding Calculus & Linear Algebra Use

    So hi everyone, I'm a freshman in Physics and in a couple weeks I'm going to start my second semester, with Chemistry and two exams of Classical Mechanics (Theoretical and Practical). In our first semester we had Calculus, Linear Algebra and C Programming. Since our Calculus program went as far...

    What BSc course is Matteo enrolling in at La Sapienza University in Rome?

    So, I've been wandering around the forum for some days now, just to discover that I still hadn't introduced myself here hehe, so here we go: Hi everyone, I'm Matteo, from Italy and I am just enrolling in a Physics BSc course in Rome at "La Sapienza" University. I'm quite sure I'll enjoy my time...

    Schools Reputation of the university for graduate admission?

    I checked up Nottingham recently for physics, it has really specific courses since the BSc. Specializing directly from the Bachelor might be counterproductive

    Schools Reputation of the university for graduate admission?

    As for problem I mean the extremely high yearly tuition fees and getting your degree recognized here in Italy. I also thought of doing my undergrad and grad abroad, but it is really expensive, and there is a clear risk that if I want to get back to Italy in order to study I would end up with one...

    How did you learn to program? (C++, Mathematica, etc)?

    I self studied some Pascal coding but I stopped, hence now I'm confined to the basis of it (using variables, doing simple calculations and giving variables an user given value)

    Choose "safety" research area, or more risky at a top school

    If you like and want to do B, do B. If you prefer B it means that you're most surely going to work harder at attaining that position than you would with A, hence the "difficulty" in getting in B would become the same as getting in A with less work and less dedication, in my opinion.

    Schools Reputation of the university for graduate admission?

    I tried to write the comment in Italian yesterday night but the mods deleted it, hence I'm rewriting it in English today: So, I decided to enroll to Sapienza University directly because I wanted to avoid exactly this problem, and I must be honest, after checking other universities and foreign...

    Advices for a freshman in a Physics BSc course

    Thanks mate. That helped a lot. So far a Computer Science undergrad and an Informatical Engineering told me so, plus some dropouts. For now I've been exposed to functions, integrals, derivatives and as a plus on trig. spherical trigonometry. I'm hoping that'll be enough for understanding at...

    Advices for a freshman in a Physics BSc course

    And what about Calculus? People here keep telling me that university-level Calculus is impossible to pass and that studying from my course's Calculus book from now is useless and that I should rest and wait for the course to start. Is it really that impossible? (Note that I've been exposed to...

    Advices for a freshman in a Physics BSc course

    Hi everyone, I don't know if similar questions have been submitted here previously, let me know if they were. So, I just graduated from the local High School in Aeronautics, and I'm ending up in what's deemed one of the hardest courses you can think of here in Italy: Physics. I'm going to start...

    Schools How does university work in the States?

    Hi everyone! I'm a freshman in the Physics BSc at the university of Rome, and I've been reading here and there threads talking about courses, minors, majors and else, and I was just wondering how does this work, because I can't get out of my confusion while trying to understand it lol. In my...

    Programs Particle Physics Degree: Schools Offering Degree

    One thing is for sure, don't specialize during your Bachelor. You still might discover one field you didn't know before that you might like even more than Particle Physics.

    Post your 2015 fall class schedule

    I graduated from High School just a month ago, in an Aeronautics course here in Italy, and I can tell you pretty easily, whatever you're going to do, take HS seriously. It is going to give you basis you'll need pretty much everywhere, whether you want to start working straight after graduation...
