I have literally never heard of that law. Thanks for the resource! Maybe it was covered in the class, but I don't remember it ever coming up. Although it's nice to know that it's something I could have reasonably known.

Homework Statement This was a problem I had on a stat mech exam awhile ago and I never figured out how to answer it. It asked "True or false, the specific heat of copper at room temperature is approximately ##3R##". Homework Equations $$C=\frac{Q}{\Delta T}$$ The Attempt at a Solution...

I'm not bitter at all! I am starting a decent masters program soon and I'm quite happy with my academic success. Please don't attack me, when I really am trying to help him. This thread isn't about me, so I won't say anything more, but all of my posts were in good faith and I genuinely want the...

Can I ask you another question. What was the point of making this thread? You asked if it was normal to study this much, then proceed to talk about how high standards you have for yourself. Are you looking for an answer, or are you just trying to show off?

"Anything less than an A+ is unacceptable to me." Honestly, and I say this will all respect, this is painful and almost embarrassing to read. I'm not trying to be a jerk, I'm really not. Send this post to yourself in a few years with https://www.futureme.org/ and hopefully you'll realize how...

I have to ask, what on Earth are you doing for those 50 hours? It doesn't matter if it's abnormal or not, there's no reason to spending that much time. I almost don't believe you, to be frank.

Gauss and his father.

They're free online, so why not take an hour to read through some of them? See if you understand it and if they're helpful.

You can always message them to add you. In the mean time, just search for your adviser. Hopefully they will be there.

The weirdest thing about it, is that if you follow advisers back you will almost always find someone famous. It seems like all the people I know are a descendant of Weierstrauss. There are certain people that are all so connected. What else is interesting is there are a few people who have huge...

http://genealogy.math.ndsu.nodak.edu/index.php I just found this, and it's really cool. It has most people with PhDs in math, and their advisers. You can follow people back by PhD adviser. It's surprising how everyone is connected. If you enter in anyone you know, and follow it back, you can...

I don't know why I chose your thread to say this, with the countless minor/double major questions on here, but be careful when studying more than one topic. I'm graduating this quarter with a major in math, minor in physics and I almost wish I didn't do the minor. Instead, I wish I simply took...

I'm confused, what do you mean that "y is unique".

Or wait, I would simply take the inner product of the two wave functions, right?

So the probability will be 0 then, correct? Because if the wave function remains the same, and it's the wave function for the ground state of the L pendulum, which is higher than the ground state of the 4L pendulum. Feels wrong.
