Thank you very much for your response, this paints a better picture and let's me know what to expect. If I practiced writing some java in eclipse using youtube tutorials this summer would that be sufficient, considering I have very little programming knowledge? After the first year I'm probably...

Hey there, I'm entering Mudd in the fall as a prospective physics major and I was wondering if you have any recommendations for me (for when I'm at Mudd and for this summer). I've got vol. 1-3 of the Feynman lectures and plan to read through those, and I will solidify my single variable calculus...

Assuming linear motion, v0 (initial velocity) = 0m/s, a=250m/s^2, t=20ms find Vfinal (after the 20ms) using v=v0 +at, V= 0m/s + (250m/s^2)(20ms) then use that Vfinal from after the 20ms to calculate the distance of the 30ms part, delta X = [(250m/s^2)(20ms)](30ms) which gives you the distance...

Hey PF, I'm in my senior year of high school and I'm taking AP Physics B this year as my school does not offer AP Physics C, and I'm wondering if I should supplement with extra studying as I plan on majoring in physics. I took calculus AB (equivalent of first semester calculus) last year and I'm...

My teacher simply required a ti-83 or ti-84 for the class as the AP test requires one of these for the calculator section of the test. As a result he split tests up into two days, one day allowing calculator and the next day without one. In addition, it was cool having one for when we went over...

Thanks for all the advice guys, I really appreciate it. I've got a Ti-84 Plus (silver ed.), so I'll pick up one of the more advanced ones maybe this year or once I get to undergrad. Would you guys recommend me practicing the basics before moving on to anything else past calc 2? If i take calc 2...

Hey, I'm a first time poster here and I was feeling a bit uneasy about my mathematics preparation and my foundation in math. I'll be entering my senior year in high school in about a month, and I plan on majoring in physics at a decent, rigorous university after high school. As a junior, I...
