    Engineering Employers' thoughts on B.S. in Physics/M.S. in Electrical Engineering?

    I noticed a lot of colleges offer these "professional" masters degrees in physics. Would that be employable after a BS in physics, or am i better off just doing an ms in EE?

    Engineering Employers' thoughts on B.S. in Physics/M.S. in Electrical Engineering?

    I thought ABET certification is rarely needed outside of things like Civil Engineering.

    Engineering Pursuing a Masters in Engineering with a BA in physics?

    I'm a freshman in university right now. I originally wanted to do some form of engineering (electrical or mechanical) , but I didn't get accepted to this school's engineering school, and only got in my second choice, which was the science school. So that is where I am now, with my major...

    What maths must I understand in order to begin physcics?

    My school required me to have differential calculus before mechanics, though we barely use it. And then you needed to complete the calculus sequence (integral, multivariate) to take E&M.

    Osculating Circle for vector-valued function?

    So I have the radius. I tried to solve N(t), but that yielded something hopelessly convoluted, and I think I only need to know the direction of N(t) (which is perpendicular to the tangent vector). So does the center lie on the bottom of the ellipse? This is confusing me.

    Osculating Circle for vector-valued function?

    Yeah I graphed the ellipse. By 1, do you mean pi/2? I guess the main doubt I have is that I'm not sure what the concave side means. The whole ellipse is looks convex.

    Osculating Circle for vector-valued function?

    Hi! This is my first time on Physics Forum. (which shows how desperate I am on figuring out this question). Homework Statement r(t) = <3sin(t),4cos(t)> There is a unique circle with the following properties: 1. It passes through the point r(∏/2) 2. At the point r(∏/2), the tangent...
