I've started the undergraduate's journey into physics. Although I'm still working through pre-req's I wanted to get a solid grasp on before the degree itself, I already have a vague idea of what I want to do after. However this doesn't go to say my choice is definite, but I've always been...
Probably a stupid question...or possibly one with stupidly simple answer...Could this even work? I have this mechanism that generates electricity when you turn the crank (think Faraday's little doodad with copper wire and magnets) and am trying to figure out how to make this thing hands-free...
As for gen ed's for a physics major, I'd look into public speaking and writing (science writing would be best if available). Contrary to what some might think, a philosophy course would be a bit better than psychology, IMO. In some subtle way I think philosophy has a role in scientific thinking.
Well, before classical mechanics it's required that you take at least analytical geometry & calc 1 anyay. This, I'm really thankful for because a friend of mine is in engineering at a neighboring university and he's taking calc 1 and classical mechanics simultaneously. Utterly stupid, but he's...
Some background: I've never been good at math, although I'm finding that it doesn't necessarily mean I'll ever be good at it. However, when I was younger (US grade K-7) I was always an A+ student across the board; I've always loved learning and even though I experienced some turbulence, that has...
