Can't Identify Variable in QM Question
Hello, my question is a simple one: I am attempting to do problem 2.31 in Griffiths' QM book (latest edition). The question states, "The Dirac Delta function can be thought of as the limiting case of a rectangle of area 1, as the height goes to infinity and the width to zero. Show that the...- Jbar

Difficult Schedule to Bridge Gap
Well this was actually a concern for me (somewhat still is). I actually brought this up with the two I met with and they both seemed confident that it could be done, albeit with a lot of hard work involved. I also e-mailed a physics professor at my current school who stated with confidence...- Jbar

Difficult Schedule to Bridge Gap
Hello everyone, I am one of those non-majors trying to get into graduate school (eventually). Long story short, I have a year left as a business major, during which time I will be taking Calculus 2 and the introductory physics w/lab sequence. I have recently met with both the graduate...- Jbar

Programs Can I get a Ph.D. in physics if my bachelor's degree isn't in physics
The way my remaining schedule will work is that I will be taking the intro calculus-based physics sequence as well as calculus 2, but that is all. Assuming I graduate with my business degree, how feasible would going back to complete a bachelor's degree in physics be? After that I would pursue...- Jbar

Programs Can I get a Ph.D. in physics if my bachelor's degree isn't in physics
I should have mentioned, I have pretty much no prior physics experience other then some self-study in classical mechanics. I'm taking Calculus 1 right now and am expecting an A, but that will be all, other than Physics 101 (which is physics for dummies, no math is even involved). Many of my...- Jbar

Programs Can I get a Ph.D. in physics if my bachelor's degree isn't in physics
Hey everyone, this is my first post here, although I've lurked for a little while before. Basically, I'm lumped into this category and need some advice. I'm currently a third year business student with a fairly good (3.6) GPA. To be specific, my grades reflect a freshman year mishap, but...- Jbar
