    What background is needed for research in quantum computing?

    I'm kinda interested in the area as well. A long time ago I emailed a professor in the field about a similar question (what extra math I should take). I would quote the email but I'm not sure if that's a good idea to do without his permission. The gist of it was that a good understanding of...

    What will happen to the crate of eggs when a truck makes a sharp left turn?

    You're kinda right about it being A. But the actual answer is none of the above. Here's why. The main law we are dealing with is Newton's first law, not the third one. That law states that an object in motion stays in motion. Here the object in question is the crate. Basically, when the truck...

    What engineering program is good for sustainable energy development?

    I would think that environmental engineering jobs would cover multiple types of disciplines. For example, building solar panels would involve electrical engineering aspects along with materials engineering. ME would be covered with projects such as wind turbines. I'm sure there would be also be...

    Schools What math courses to take as an undergrad in physics planning for grad school

    Thanks for the suggestions! But one question, my school has two higher level linear algebra courses, Abstract and Applied linear algebra. The applied linear algebra is required for my major. So I'll be taking that no matter what. So given that I'll be taking applied linear algebra, do you...

    Schools What math courses to take as an undergrad in physics planning for grad school

    I'll be doing that as well, but what about math classes that have applications in physics?

    Schools What math courses to take as an undergrad in physics planning for grad school

    Since I got credit in calc I and II before going to college (along with getting many of my geneds out of the way), I'm going to have a lot of room for extra math courses. What's required by my college's physics program is Calc I, II, III Diff eq Applied Linear Algebra After, that I'm...

    Which Midwest Colleges Have Strong Physics Programs?

    I'm a high school senior looking into colleges and I'm having trouble picking out good choices for physics programs. I live in Chicago and I'm looking into schools around the Midwest. My record ACT:32 GPA: 94.2 (My school is weird and they don't like the 4.0 scale) My course load is...
