    Programs Wish to pursue MS in biology. What should I major in as an undergrad?

    Hello, I am an undergrad student who is passionately interested in reverse aging and rejuvenation, stem cells research, or anything else that can possibly bring life extension to this world. However, as I am well familiar with the current job market for biology majors, I think I'd rather...

    Becoming an actuary without majoring in Acturial Science?

    I am a high school student who will be attending at university this fall to study mathematics. During pure mathematics education, I wish to prepare for acturial exams concurrently, but without taking any Acturial Science courses. I do realize that majoring mathematics demands a lot of work and...

    Phd jokes scare me. are those really true?

    By 'undergrad', you specifically mean the junior and senior years of undergrad, right? If not, is it still to early for a high school senior who will be attending at university this fall? Well, I did an extensive career research during this winter break. There are so many things I can do with...

    Phd jokes scare me. are those really true?

    As a matter of fact, at this moment, pursuing phd is way far-fetched plan for me since I am a high school student. But those phd jokes really discourage me to go to undergrad in pure math and rather force me to get a degree in like acturial science or engineering. I was planning to study...

    What are some common misconceptions about engineering science at U of T?

    Hopefully you are still lurking around this forum :) I am really anxious because my average is not enough to get into EngSci programme. (The department requires IB predicted grade of 35 but I think I have something like 32). But I really want to get into Engineering Physics programme. So if I...

    Schools Applying to universities - is math/physics degree an overkill?

    I have been told that, if I like both math and physics then I should do a math/physics programme, and I certainly agree with that. However, it seems like math/physic degree is a bit challenging. Especially considering the fact that my thinking process is a lot slower than anyone else. (My IQ is...

    Physics Is a Physics Degree Relevant for Success on Wall Street?

    How to deal with a teacher who doesn't even teach why things work?

    Of course, I did not intend to bring any religious issue. But I am an atheist.

    How to deal with a teacher who doesn't even teach why things work?

    Except he seems to be incapable of providing clear explanations. Sometimes. I would not expect him to answer every single question we ask though, since he is no god.

    Medical How to cope with mental destruction?

    I am pretty sure most of you have been involved in academia. (I mean, studied sciences at university level) Sometimes, I get really angry when I don't come up with a brilliant solution, especially if one of my classmates just goes like 'ah!'. Also, I feel really disappointed at my self whenever...

    An inquiry on solving systematic equation

    Seems like I didn't cleary express my self. 'adding a non-variable to an expression' means a 'transition' to certain direction. Say y=2x+3. If we add 5 to the right side of equation, we are moving the line 5 units upwards. But I don't understand the rationale of adding variable to the...
