Schools Advice on shopping for Physics Graduate Schools
Thanks Jedishrfu, I'm also going through my advisor, who I honestly think would be great to do my graduate studies with. But 'in abundance of counselors there is victory.' Thanks Scrumhalf, I appreciate the advice, especially the specific details of how you went about it!- mercenarycor

Schools Advice on shopping for Physics Graduate Schools
Hello all! I'm preparing to transition out of the military, and will have about 4 courses left on my BS when I do. I think it's about time to start looking at grad schools! (YAY!) However, as I look, the possibilities seem almost overwhelming! My question, therefore, is not about how to...- mercenarycor

Question about Legendre elliptic integrals
Devoured by the Kraken, I'm afraid. Ended up dropping the course, going to spend the summer with Schaum's trying to build a better foundation for the math I need.- mercenarycor

Overcoming Mathematical Challenges in Physics Studies: A Personal Journey
Some of you may have already seen my posts, for those that haven't, hello! I am currently working on my Bachelors in Physics, and eventually want to get my Masters, and hopefully one day even up to my Doctorate. But first I have to get through my classes. I have a lot of issues with how...- mercenarycor

Question about Legendre elliptic integrals
Homework Statement [/B] J(a, b, c;y)=∫aydx/√((x-a)(x-b)(x-c)), let a<b<cHomework Equations f(θ, k)=∫0θdx/√(1-k2sin2(x)), k≤1 The Attempt at a Solution This is an example from my study material, and I don't understand the first step they do. Let x=a+(b-a)t, dx=(b-a)dt Wait...what? Why? How...- mercenarycor

Contour integration with a branch cut
Homework Statement ∫-11 dx/(√(1-x2)(a+bx)) a>b>0 Homework Equations f(z0)=(1/2πi)∫f(z)dz/(z-z0) The Attempt at a Solution I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing. I'm taking Mathematical Methods, and this chapter is making absolutely no sense to me. I understand enough to tell I'm supposed...- mercenarycor
