This seems to be the case most of the time.

I am a junior applied physics major/math minor. I recently decided I want to go for a MS in aerospace or astronautical engineering after I graduate. My applied focus is covered by taking some mechanical engineering classes (my school doesn't have an aerospace degree). I was wondering what kind...

I agree. I have been in two car accidents, no one got hurt but both times I look over and the moment before the cars hit the car I was in, the one second of my reaction to see a car about to sidewipe us felt like 2-3 seconds and then it feels like time speeds up to go back to normal. I know...

www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/09/120906092059.htm http://arxiv.org/abs/1206.5078 Very interesting article, has anyone seen this or looked at the paper? I don't have GR knowledge to make sense of what's going on. "The difference between the new field equations and Einstein's equations is...

Did 70,000 people witness a miracle? Nope

I would say mechanics (motion and energy), rotation, gravitation, harmonic motion, waves, fluids and elementary thermodynamics.

Sorry the matrix was $$A= \begin{bmatrix}3 & 1 & 1 \\ 0 & 5 & 0 \\ -2 & 0 & 7\end{bmatrix}$$ not 2,0,1 in the last row. That was my mistake.

Homework Statement Find the eigenvalues of A, when A =[3,1,1; 0,5,0; -2,0,1] Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution I took the det(A-\lambdaI)=0 and found the characteristic polynomial to be: -\lambda^{3}+15\lambda^{2}-73\lambda+115 I couldn't figure out whole...

For an arbitrary distance the equation is: \sqrt{\Sigma_{i}^{n}x_{i}^{2}} I would like to know what are the proofs for higher dimensions being perpendicular to our 3-spaital dimensions. If I am wrong in any way, please elaborate. I guess what I'm saying is since: r^{2}=x^{2}+y^{2}...

I have heard multiple times that for their B.S. in Physics, students should focus more on quantum physics and have at least one class in quantum mechanics, which seems to be the standard physics curriculum at most schools. Then in graduate school, they can focus more on their desired topics...

I would say because groups and abstract algebra for particle gauge theory, abstract vector spaces are used a lot, like in quantum mechanical hilbert space..."topology (general ,algebraic and differential), and differential geometry and analysis on manifolds" are used for general relativity but...

Complex Variables and Numerical Analysis would be the ones you would use out of what you listed, if you are not getting too much into the theoretical/mathematical side. I am a Physics major/math minor and have been looking up what I would need and I have decided to take upper level PDEs, complex...

At my school, you can do a double grad getting a Ph.D in Physics with a MS in EE with only a BS in Physics. I'm sure many have done it all over the country.
