I would also recommend finding papers in systems biology that are interesting or relevant to you, and focusing on learning the mathematical concepts behind those.
The color wheel has to do with vision more than the physical properties of light. There are only 3 color receptors in the retina so it isn't a perfect reflection of the wavelength spectrum. (for example you can trick your eye into seeing yellow with light that is actually a combination of red...
I know a good number of people who seem to be able to self study physics material - aka read ahead for classes, read textbooks outside of classes, and I always find myself jealous. I'm usually able to learn pretty well on my own if I have a project, or if I'm trying to learn something really...
For an undergraduate resume, my school's advising suggests using a category such as computer skills and listing everything you're familiar with - the example is "ms office, unix, matlab, C" etc. My question is, how much do I need to know to of something consider it a listable skill? Example - I...
The ratio of the peak-to-peak voltages and RMS will be the same (both are related by the same factor of 1/sqrt2 if the signal is sinusoidal).
Gain is defined as 20dB*log(Vout/Vin)
Do you have a more specific question?
I have a quick question
about this ananova article that's been bothering me. I can't figure out any way it makes sense. (and ananova usually doesn't publish complete bs as far as I know)

basically, my question is: does it make sense to you...
I actually was in the same situation - I loved the physics side of chemistry after high school, and i started with a major in chem. I switched to physics halfway through frosh year, because i felt like my chem classes didn't really do enough 'deep' explanation, (but i'd be doing a double if i...
Why worry about something you can't change? If I were you, i'd worry about being able to get good grades this semester. And, you can put in even more time, do more things to make up for your bad start - do research, volunteer etc.
Why does it matter if you can get into something four years...
I'm currently a sophomore in physics, and I'm pretty happy with my choice of major. Part of the reason I liked it was that it seemed like everyone chose it because they genuinely liked physics. I have other reasons too, I can easily see myself doing research later on, but this isn't my point. My...
