    Help me select field for PhD: Control/Dynamics or PDE/Numerics

    I like both control systems and dynamics, and numerical solutions of PDE's. And I am trying to decide which field to apply for to do a PhD in. I am having hard time deciding. Just looking for advice from those who worked or studied any of the above to help me decide. I seem to be leaning...

    Physics Do theoretical physicists need to know how to write computer programmes?

    There seems to be some confusion here about what theoretical physics is. The topic is asking about software for "theoretical physicists". Clearly a theoretical physicist would need to do more just write numerical code, if they'll even do that. The idea is that a theoretical physicist...

    Engineering As some people know , i really like to become an engineer , and i will

    Engineering can be considered as a subset of physics. It is an application of physics principles. If you study physics, you are also studying engineering but at a different level and from different point of view. As a matter of fact, one with a physics degree can easily practice as an...

    Navigating Career Changes and Post Grad Studies: My Story

    Why not do both at same time? Go to graduate school part time, and keep your day job. Talk to your manager, they might allow you flexible working hours. Many schools have evening or late afternoon classes. Some have early morning classes. Work around your work schedule. It is no problem...

    Physics Do theoretical physicists need to know how to write computer programmes?

    I find that Mathematica is the best choice for physics. Do not waste your time on C/C++. Try to find the symbolic Fourier series expansion using C or C++. In Mathematica, it is one command. I have worked using all the other systems and languages mentioned above and found that when using...
