I offer no insights. Though, i do recall this;

"Introduction To Algorithms" MIT lecture series (Very comp-sci based, apparently). Could give you an idea of what you're in for.
P.S. I did watch the first lecture at some point...
I found this whilst browsing Tim Gowers blog.
http://www.tricki.org/
Seems to be a project of Gowers, Tao and a couple of others and is just a week or two (?) old. The aim is for the site to act as a Wiki-style database of problem solving techniques/advice/tricks etc - rather than a...
I'll be spending at least 2 hours per day traveling to and from Uni when i begin. Thats 10 hours per week of lost (or greatly diminished) study time. Saving £4,000+ on accomodation, though, and probably the same again on food/random stuff. Although the cost of commute per year (train) will add...
Yes, sorry, i am stupid. I realized that 2 minutes after posting here. I'm pretty sure i have it now. It's just -(2+u)^{-1} for u=tanx, right? And thanks for the reply.

Again - in...
A BSc is 3 years in the UK, but a BSc Hons (which is what radhikak speaks of) is 4 years. I do see occasional MSc Studentships being advertised - though usually not from any of the 'top' UK Universities - and I'm not sure if they include funding for International Students.
If you love Physics then i guarantee you will despise a life as an accountant. You have a thirst for understanding which will never be met. (My eldest Sister is a chartered accountant, makes decent money, travels the world, and enjoys it only because she has no curiosity nor craving for...
I'm hoping for a UK perspective on this; though perhaps there is little difference between that and a US one.
The details of and difference between Studentship PHDs and Non-Studentship PHDs are vague in my mind - so, i'll offer my current understanding for you to annihilate...
