I'm in sort of the same boat. Though I took 7 years off, rather than one. I tested into Calc I as well, and am taking it this summer. For my prep, I got ahold of the University's precalc book and sylabus, and am sort of just putting myself through it, focusing on the stuff I don't remember as...
I know at my school, on the website, they actually list a bunch of majors that applied math goes well with, as well as how many additional credits it would take, over and above the regular courseload for that major. For Comp Sci, it has 22 extra credits, which is the same as the physics double...
Kent, OH has a very poor, not very active bus system. However, it is small enough that you would be able to get anywhere in town with a bike. The bar area is a bit less than a mile from campus. If you want to do much shopping though, there is a bus that runs like once an hour or so into the...
I am not sure yet what kind of physics I will be doing as of yet.
In y'all's opinion, would it be more beneficial, in the long run, of having a firm grasp on C++, or just jumping into learning something like python, while having no other background in programming?
OK, so I know virtually nothing about computer programming, and this fall I am starting into a double major of applied math and physics. The only computer science course that is required is the University's Intro to CS course. I am thinking that, if possible, I am going to try to do the...
Ya, I would hardly say that 29 would be too old for a PhD. I should hope not at least.
I'll be 25 this summer, and essentially starting my Undergrad Physics/Applied Math studies.
Hey, thanks for the replies!
So, here is what has happened so far. I picked up a precalc textbook, and found that most of the stuff I've looked at in it came back fairly quickly. I spoke with the chair of the physics department at the school, as well as one of the math professors, and they both...
Hey thanks for the reply!
I picked up an old edition of Blitzer's College Algebra, as well as his Precalc book on Amazon for like 4 bucks each. Also I got the second edition of Ohanian's Physics for about the same price. This was a couple days ago when i was just poking around, and I couldn't...
Hello all.
I recently decided I was going to go back to school at the U of Akron this fall, declaring a double major of Applied mathematics, and physics. I've been out of any sort of schooling around 7 years, other than the Air Force teaching me Arabic. I will have to take the COMPASS math...
