Im looking for a recommendation on my summer write-up. I am beginning the rough draft phase and am not sure what would work best or if there is a typical way of doing this. I know it is mostly a matter of preference and its really not a critical decision at this point. In terms of content I have...

Writing numerical data for multiparticle system I am simulating a multiparticle system using FORTRAN language. But my question is a general programming question regarding how to write data. I am using a loop to cycle through a number of particles, and running a numerical computation and...

When simulating N particles in FORTRAN: - How do I declare x,y,z,vx,vy,vz for arbitrarily large number of particles N? - How do I write out data for each particle without N write statements? I intend to have a time-step do loop with a particle do loop inside so that at each time step I...

Homework Statement given a general system, \frac{df}{dt}=k_{1}g(t) \frac{dg}{dt}=-k_{2}f(t) How could one solve for f_{analytic}. I've used wolfram, so I know what they look like. But how does one begin to solve for them? Further, how does one find the eigenvalues, eigenmodes...

Cool, thanks for the words of wisdom. I am a little more at ease now.

I don't remember specifically where I read this, I think in a post here, but is it true that PhD programs prefer admitting students who completed their BS in 4 yrs over those who took longer? Ive already been working on my BS for 4 years and am trying to decide whether to cram and finish in...

At this point I know who I will work under at UT, I don't know him in any personal sense, but I do know a professor that is familiar with him and might be able to give me his opinion on how good of an advisor this person might be. I don't know who I will work with at UC, but will soon. Hadn't...

I think particle would be more interesting, but probably much harder. Though I could be wrong, magnetohydrodynamics in plasma is no walk in the park. I guess I feel I am more familiar with plasma but think particle would be more of an adventure. I don't know much about Davis CA, but Austin...

I have been accepted to two summer research programs: I can do plasma work at the University of Texas at Austin or particle physics work at University of California Davis. I guess it would be silly to ask for advice regarding which program I should choose because I realize that they are both...

Yeah, I can see how that makes sense. So it's really just about doing some kind of research period, and better even to be published right? So it's sounding like transferring might be a bad idea, what drawbacks, if any, are there to transfer. If tuition is about the same at these two schools do...

It's interesting that you ask that, research at utsa is pretty much limited to bio,nano physics, we have a single prof doing astro work and he's got like 10 undergrads working with him. I almost convinced myself that biophy was not a terrible career path but after taking a molecular biophy...

Alright, I need the opinion of my esteemed and knowledgeable peers. My situation: I started my undergad physics degree at UT Austin in 2007. I was a bit immature and really blew a good deal with regards to scholarships. I was distracted, to say the least. After two years I transferred to the UT...

No, its a 3rd order polynomial that approximates the power series, and its written out term by term so sigma is uneeded. Oh, if you mean for the epsilon, its the remainder term used to measure accuracy of the approximation. Its a single term, so no sigma needed. I guess I should say something...

Homework Statement (For power series about x=1) Using the error formula, show that \left|ln(1.5)-p_{3}(1.5)\right|\leq\frac{(0.5)^{4}}{4} Homework Equations p_{3}(x) = x-1 - \frac{(x-1)^{2}}{2} + \frac{(x-1)^{3}}{3} \\\epsilon_{n}(x)=\frac{f^{n+1}(\xi)}{(n+1)!}(x-x_{o})^{n+1}\\where \xi lies...
