Hi all. Can anyone please recommend me a good undergraduate level Condensed Matter Physics book that has a number of examples and concise explanations rather than walls of texts? It should cover typical topics such as scattering, magnetism etc. I apologize if this may strike a nerve with...
I guess it seems so... :/ I have noticed that even for less "popular" research fields there might not be many people applying but the entry requirements are very high in comparison...
I want to become a researcher in physics (or some other scientific field) but unfortunately my undergraduate grades in physics have so far not been too spectacular i.e. a low 2:1 in the UK. When looking at career profiles of various people in research areas I have considered, everyone seems to...
Ok so I have been thinking about doing a PhD in possibly condensed matter physics for a while now (my masters is soon going to be finished), but my parents, who also happen to be my primary benefactors, are adamantly opposed to that idea as they want me to get a "real job" in the corporate world...
3rd class in final year (2.3 GPA)...any advice?
Just incase anyone is wondering, a 3rd class is approximately 2.3 GPA http://www.ten-percent.co.uk/conversion-table-for-us-gpa-to-uk-class-degrees
So I'm in my 3rd year and final year struggling with my degree in physics and just can't seem to...
First I'll give a little background about myself:
1) I'm currently in a university which is top 10 in the world
2) My physics grades are at best below average, 50 - 60%
3) I don't party hard or drink much believe it or not in defence of (2).
4) I hate maths and it scares me.
5) The only topics...
Say a person is positioned here: 40.23°N and 15.89°E and was examining the night sky.
How do you calculate the declination and Right Ascension from that location's coordinates?
I know the RA is measured in hours up to 24 and Declination in degrees.
Any ideas?
Hello guys,
The time has come where I have to step out into the dog eat dog world after university to look for a job but unfortunately I have a few problems which I fear will hinder my chances..
I am an introvert...I always prefer working alone rather in groups even though I have team work...
Can someone please point me to a deceleration graph over the 7 minutes of terror from the 13,000 mph re-entry speed through to the parachute release and landing of the Curiosity Rover on Mars?
Thanks very much. :smile:
