Hi all, I'm applying for an REU that requires 3 rec letters. I have 1 strong letter from a professor I worked with for a year, 1 from a prof I get along with really well, and I feel both of those are fairly strong. I've been working with a different professor for about 5 months now. When i...

I suggest you learn to code. Find someone in the department that is doing very applied research. At my school we have very few pure mathematicians. I have a friend in the physics department who works with a mathematician on wind turbine simulations, and he gets his hands dirty with real data. I...

I am currently a physics major at a fairly small school, that is not know for its physics program. I got into better schools, but I chose this one due to financial reasons. I'm on track to graduate in the spring, and I'm a bit torn between a few options that I have. I can easily finish a second...
