    What Physics Classes Should I Take for a Career in Medicine?

    I am fairly certain that after I complete my undergrad I want to go to medical school. My question is which physics classes are most applicable to a biology/medicine environment. I really enjoy physics and would take all the classes if I could, but I do not have enough time to complete them...

    Worth taking higher level physics classes?

    I guess the alternative to completing my physics major would be to complete a biology major, which is not too difficult (4 additional classes), and then just take whatever physics/math classes interest me. Right now I am going into physics because I like understanding with more detail how the...

    Worth taking higher level physics classes?

    Hi guys, I am a sophomore in college right now intending to major in physics. The thing though is that I am fairly certain that I want to go to medical school and thus am just pursuing the major for my own intellectual curiosity. I am taking junior level mechanics and electrodynamics courses...

    Wave Superposition - Complex Exponential

    Well I figured it out. If I just expand the left side and equate the real and imaginary parts then I can solve for alpha. Even though I didn't get any help, this served as a good way to exercise my brain and figure it out for myself, so thank you physicsforum and I'm sure you will see me...

    Wave Superposition - Complex Exponential

    Ok, so after sitting for a second and reconsidering what my professor had said, I have made progress (half way there!). My professor had said the best way to do them is treat the complex exponentials as vectors and add components as you normally would. So that's what I did and I figured out the...

    Wave Superposition - Complex Exponential

    Hi guys, I lurk here often for general advice, but now I need help with a specific concept. Ok, so I started a classical and quantum waves class this semester. We are beginning with classical waves and using Vibrations and Waves by A P French as the text. So in the second chapter he discusses...
