Homework Statement This is a general question, no real problem statement and is connected to solving Fourier series. You know that to solve it, you need to find a_{n}, a_{0} and b_{n}. Homework Equations When solving the above mentioned ''coefficients'' you can get a solution with sin or...

Well said. I'll have to do it. Thank you for your input!

I understand what you mean Zz. The schools I am interested in have material science listed under their engineering departments. And I know that any solid MSE graduate school requires the students to know quantum mechanics, albeit not on the level of a condensed matter physicist, unless someone...

Hi! I know that material science lies at the interface of physics and chemistry and that any material scientist must have knowledge of chemistry, quantim mechanics, solid state physics,... The problem I face is that I am quite keen on entering material science with a mechanical engineering...

Have you tried this http://www.sciencebuddies.org/science-fair-projects/search.shtml?v=ia&ia=MatlSci All of the projects seem to be for high school/college students but nevertheless there are some quite advanced too. You can give it a try.

Advanced materials are the high tech ''cool'' material that you constantly hear about. Biomaterials (have to be compatible with the human body, not toxic, used for prosthesis, pacemakers and so on), semiconductors, smart materials (ex. the ones that revert to their original shape when there is a...

I am interested in materials engineering. The problem I have, however, with the course being offered at a local university is that the whole 2 years of graduate program has like 5 courses related to materials. They are metallic materials, non metallic materials, selection of materials, mechanics...

I understand that. But as far as I see it there is little room for research nowadays in those fields and I'd very much like to remeain in academia + do research

Why don't you try Material Science and Engineering. Perfect blend of all worlds

Energy sector is quite ''IN'' nowadays

I'd be glad if anyone could help as I need some fresh perspective. Thank you.

Hi I recently received my bachelor degree in ME and now I am facing a dilemma for my masters. I originally wanted to go into MSE abroad, but because of VISA issues I won't be able to attend although I got admitted. I have 3 choices: Materials Engineering, Condensed Matter Physics and...

Hi there. I have a problem regarding interpolation between lines. I have to say that I have never done it before and I can't find relevant info on the internet, so I am asking for your help. the graph in question can be found here: http://s9.postimage.org/kmj94nexb/physicsforum.png I do...

It's really awesome to see how much help the members are giving to the ppl who can't decide what major to enroll into. Anyway i have some questions. I am a 1st year ME student and so far it's been 'O.K.' I chose ME mainly because i thought i was crazy about physics but didn't like the...
