Hey guys! I need a little help in continuing my research i did this summer. So a little background information: This summer i conducted research at a REU where i focused on optimizing the power output of a wind farm by modeling wind turbine locations within a constrained space. I wrote a...

Hi guys, I'm a 2nd year physics student at uni and until recently i was planning on going to graduate school for condensed matter physics, but i realized I'm most interested in medical physics. What courses would those of you who are in medical physics recommend to prep me for grad school? I'll...

Thank you very much Chiro, you seem very knowledgeable and I really appreciate your help

Yes I was referring to 2D/3D Math/Physics/Engineering vectors. Is there a book I could read about how vectors can be implemented in C++? I am starting research and using computation to solve problems and I sort of understand how I could implement vectors in C++, but I would love to be able to...

I have heard that music is very mathematical and was wondering if there is a place I could watch lectures on a topic like this? Or maybe a textbook I could read through? Thanks for any help!

After doing some research C++'s vectors appear to be a kind of array? I guess I can just write my own methods for 3D space vectors?

Hi, I'm programming the orbit of planets using a verlet algorithm, and while i feel comfortable i could implement the program, i would like to get some more practice with vectors so I can really learn how they work in C++. If anyone knows of a good tutorial for vectors (applied to physics would...

leehufford, I am in Calc II right now, and i honestly do not think it is nearly as hard as everyone makes it out to be. Is it an easy course? No, but in my opinion you don't move any faster than you did in Calc I. I also found Calc II to be far more interesting than Calc I. At my university...

I like background noise when studying (nothing with lyrics or i will be distracted), but lately I have found that classical music is perfect thing to cover up noises in the library--people sniffling and discussing their homework problems etc. Turns out a lot of old church hymns on the classical...

I am personally playing through planet fall right now! Its quite frustrating, but text based rpg's are the best! I also longboard and ski whenever i can mooch a trip off one of my friends going.

MarneMath that is very helpful advice and I will deinitely be trying that, but I guess I just am not quite sure how much time will be required to study. I have heard a good rule of thumb is 2times the number of hours you are taking is a reasonable guess. I'm assuming that still applies to a...

Ahh I did forget about the lab for chem which is another hour so it's 4 not 3. I don't know if physics has a lab or not

Next semester I am looking at taking 12 hours of math intensive courses, would it be wise to stay with just the 12 hours, or would it still be possible to take another Gen-Ed or humanities course? The courses are: Calc 3 Linear algebra Chem 2 Calc based Physics for science majors.

I just submitted my homework assignment fully expecting a B or an A on it and i got a 30%. I am very worried an intro to chem course could ruin my GPA, is there a place i could go for more help without having to pay for a tutor? (isn't there a website often listed on this form for helping people...

I took AP Chemistry in high school and loved it and I made an A. I am taking an introduction to chemistry at my Uni, and we just got back the results of our first exam. I made a 63% on the exam and I am not happy with my performance. The class average was a 30% but that doesn't affect my...
