Hi Physics forums patrons, I'm a bit of an academic pickle and I don't really know where to turn so I was hoping someone could offer an alternate point of view. For a little background, I'm currently a physics student, having transferred from finance about a year ago (go science). Now, I'm very...

I'm a Physics major, and I've heard most universities require that you take Chemistry. My school doesn't require this. Is it still beneficial to get some chemistry under my belt?

Topics include creating effective scientific presentations, analysis of experimental data, online literature, data/information ethics, scientific modeling, and communication/collaboration tools. Designed...

I'll be a 2nd year physics student next year, and my question is should I start taking some CS classes or take CDS (Computing for Scientists)? I've heard programming is very useful for someone trying to get into research or industry, but Computing for Scientists looks obviously useful as well...

Hey all, Little background I've always loved science but up until now shied away from pursuing it. I went into to college thinking I was going to do finance but had a terrible time. Now I've switched my major to physics and am beyond excited to see where it leads me. I hope to be active on...

I didn't know that that's very interesting. I'll keep an open mind when picking classes. Also, we have a class called Computing for science. Is it a no brainer to take a course like that?

Hey guys, I'm new to the forum and I got to say I'm glad I found it because boy do I have questions. Basically, I'm a sophomore in college, I just switched my major from finance to physics and I'm stoked. I just finished the pre-req to intro physics which was Calculus so this upcoming semester...
