Hello everyone, I was just curious for a little insight. I was going to pursue a double major in Math and Physics but I realized I'd be spreading myself pretty thin and spending less time dedicated to one subject, so there's not really much point of me getting a math degree since what I want to...

Yes, they are extra modules that aren't compulsory. In terms of the list you gave me, I very much like the looks of Modern Geometry, Topology and Partial Differential Equations. In your opinion, which would be more useful to Astronomy, Complex Analysis or Vector Analysis?

I will certainly be getting all of those classes, my biggest thing was determining four good extra math electives for Astronomy from this list- SELECT 4 COURSES FROM THE FOLLOWING: MAA 4402 Complex Analysis MAD 3107 Discrete Mathematics MAD 4203 Combinatorics MAD 4301 Graph Theory MAD 4401...

I have discussed this with some of my Professors, an old High School teacher, and some counselors, I'm just searching for some extra opinions and perspectives.

Hello everyone! So, I'm currently double majoring in Math and Physics at my University. My end goal is to hopefully go onto graduate school to earn a PhD in Astronomy, the specific areas of Astronomy I'm interested in are Observational Astronomy, Instrumentation and Planetary Science. Here are...

Well, I've been doing some more consideration and thinking. I spoke with a professor at my University that I'll be doing some research with over the Summer. He did a double major in Math and Physics. I talked to him about doing a double major, he said it could help at the margins, it could be an...

The minor in Physics at my University would have me take the two semester introduction to calculus based physics sequence, and Modern Physics + Lab for Modern Physics. From there, you can choose two electives, I was thinking of taking Mathematical Physics and Classical Mechanics. So you're...

I've seen a few threads discussing a topic similar to this, and I've been making some serious considerations and thinking about things. I'm currently debating switching over from a Physics major to a Math major and minoring in Physics. There are a few various reasons to do this, one being it...

So my question delves more into the metaphysical and philosophical than super scientific, but it relates back to what we know about physics and science. Recently a friend and I had a mentally stimulating conversation and it got me wondering about something. Since the beginning of time, people...

Well, I will be going for a Physics Bachelor's degree and I will be taking as many physics classes as possible. One of the possible Graduate Schools I've been looking at has a Physics Department with a Planetary Science PhD, so maybe I can go for the Physics PhD but still try to do some work in...

First off, let me start by saying this isn't a thread asking about career prospects or salary prospects or anything like that. I've finally reached a point in my life where I know I want to pursue physics, and I'm extremely thrilled by the idea of Planetary Science. Nor do I have a romanticized...

Everything I've heard says that those with a PhD in astrophysics have an extremely low unemployment rate. It's true, you have to work hard to get a job in academia and there's always the possibility you may not get one, but with the skills and information you learn through an astrophysics PhD...

I've emailed a few professors at UNF and they say there are some great research opportunities at UNF. So does my astronomy professor at my current state college. Here is the degree program for Physics at UNF, you can compare it to the Astrophysics program I posted above. Prerequisites (30...

I don't know if I'll be able to go to UF due to financial constraints and the possibility of distance. I'll try to apply anyway and see what happens, but as to the Physics VS Astrophysics, ironically the Astrophysics concentration has a bit more rigor than the base Physics degree, cause it...
