Okay. I'm also thinking about maybe going for the masters (probably PHD if I begin masters) in applied mathematics and then getting a job in industry doing something with biotech or bionics. I know how important math is to every field of science and technology but I don't know if a PHD would...

Do you know about if this is possible or which schools offer a degree like this? Aside from mathematics I have taken the following courses related to biotechnology(science-based): General biology 1 and 2 with labs General chemistry 1 and 2 with labs General physics 1 and 2 with labs Mechanics...

Homework Statement Trying to find the sum of (-1)3n+1/(2n-1)3. by using term-by-term integration on the cosine Fourier series x= L/2-4L/π2∑cos(((2n-1)πx)/L)/(2n-1)2. Homework Equations Shown below The Attempt at a Solution When integrating and substituting Lx/2 for x's sine Fourier series I...

The last thing we have learned is the lagrangian and this week we will do a bit of Hamiltonian dynamics (last week of the semester). Yes the math physics course contains differential equations, complex analysis/variables, the entirety of linear algebra, dirac-notation, tensor calculus...

I'm currently a double major in physics and mathematics. I am about to finish mathematical physics, mechanics 1 (not "general physics 1"), linear algebra, and an intermediate physics laboratory course. This summer I will be taking a programming course for applied math and PDE and in Fall I will...

I'm taking this course load now. I think its fine. I don't exactly know what's been going on in linear algebra because I have been spending all my time in the problem solving course. The problem solving course requires me to do 8 physics problems which are basically based on general physics 1...

Last semester I took Physics 2, Calc 3, a lab course, and ODE. This was easy to do for me because I studied often. This semester I will take: 1. Chinese 1 (required) 2. Linear Algebra 3. Modern Physics 4. Physics problem solving (a drill of advanced multi-step calc-based physics problems from...

I want to do this schedule because to me it incorporates a lot of interesting things in one semester. The physics course is for a minor. I'd learn QM in both Pchem and Physics which I think would be awesome because they'd be learned different in each (I'm assuming). Having two different sciences...

I'm about to be a junior in chemical engineering. I've passed all my calculus/ODE and general physics/chem courses. The most intense schedule I've taken at once was calculus 3, ODE, and general physics 2 (introductory E/M at my school) with a lab component. I did very well in each course and...

I'm about to be a junior and I'm majoring in physics. My problem is the money though. I'm going to be broke I think if I do this, but I don't want to do engineering at all. I was thinking of maybe later getting a masters in biophysics. I think I will get a better salary this way. I want to work...

Optics was also covered in Physics 2. So I'm basically about to begin the "tough stuff."

I'm finishing up my general physics 2 course (today actually) and I begin my upper division courses in Fall. I was wondering how you found general physics 2 compared to intermediate modern physics in terms of difficulty? I found physics 2 (basically introductory E&M at my school) more difficult...
