In my opinion, math research is by far the hardest research and least accessible for undergrads. Some areas are almost inaccessible because they require advanced knowledge that most undergrads haven't reached yet (after all this isn't bio, phys, or chem). The more accessible areas are number...

The hardest and most well known math REUs are, surprisingly, in small schools. Two notable ones are REU University of Central Michigan and Dululth REU, they mostly have students from H, MIT (mostly Putnam kids). The REUs vary by research topics tho, so choose wisely for ones that trulyu interest u

thanx

I'd like to have a strong foundation in the sciences. I have no idea wat sort of research I'll do later

I'm a biochem major at the same time, so I'll have 2 semesters of organic as well and plenty of bio classes. not too crazy about them since lots of classes are repetitive. The phys chem sequence is 2 semesters, i don't think i have enough spots to put them in my schedules; i jst think the phys...

Hello, I'd like to pursue a career in bio research (MD/PhD), preferably in molecular, structural bio alike. I plan to minor in phys and math and would like some guidance in coursework. I'll take: Modern phys (trans to upper division phys course) Math methods in physics Theoretical mechanics...

How would the center of mass change if I stack two bricks on each other?

Homework Statement There are four identical uniform bricks each with length of L, so that the top brick is as far to the right as possible without the stack falling over. Is it possible to stack the bridge such that no part of the top brick is over the table. Namely, maximize the distance of d...

Never mind. Thanks for all your suggestions. I've just solved them. I left out the little tiny details which messed up the problems. I didn't take into account of the center of mass, which I paid dearly. Here is how I solved it. Initial energy: mg(h+r) At the loop, the radius is R-r because...

The last part is the kinetic rotational energy using I = (2/5)(M)(R^2) Using kinetic rotational energy = 0.5Iw^2, I have 0.5(2/5)(MR^2)w. using constraint wr=v, knowing that v=(rg)^0.5, I get 0.5(2/5)mr^(2)(v/r)^2 The answer isn't right.

Homework Statement A marble rolls down a track and around a loop-the-loop of radius R. The marble has mass m and radius r. What minimum height h must the track have for the marble to make it around the loop-the-loop without falling off? Homework Equations What minimum height h must the...

Hey, I'm a college freshman who applied to MIT, Caltech, and GaTech last admission cycle, and got in 2 of them (Caltech and GaTech). As an incoming high school student, here are the things to look into. 1) You should get top grades in math and science classes (if not all classes) and SAT without...

Depends on ur ability. IMO, that schedule is just right, a bit light for me, depends on how much you can handle it

U should perform at a high level at competitions like USApho, at least qualifying USAMO, USABO, USNCO, etc here is some idea http://mitadmissions.org/apply/prepare/enrichment I waz waitlisted then rejected at MIT but got in Caltech. I did none of these, having only heard of them senior year. (I...

If u truly want to become a mathematician and learn math in depth and want a good foundation, I suggest you look back at calc I and learn the theory behind it using a textbook different from the one ur high school used. here is a helpful link https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=122924...
