    Exploring the Value of Dual BA Programs in Math & Physics

    Hi all, Here is my story. My school offers BA and BS for both physics and math. I am currently a junior in the BS programs for both physics and math. The only difference between the two are merely the language courses verses the two science and society courses (S&SC). I have been told about the...

    Air resistance when moving in the same direction but faster

    Hi all, So after the wind almost blew me off my bike today, something occurred to me. It goes like this: We all know that if we bike in the same direction as the air does, then we will get a little push and it makes our journey easier. Then suppose we get a little adventurous (reckless people...

    Energy Uncertainty and expectation value of H

    Homework Statement A particle at time zero has a wave function Psi(x,t=0) = A*[phi_1(x)-i*sin(x)], where phi_1 and phi_2 are orthonormal stationary states for a Schrodinger equation with some potential V(x) and energy eigenvalues E1, E2, respectively. a) Compute the normalization constant A. b)...

    What inspired a physicist to explore diverse fields of study?

    I am, quite obviously, a new member to this seemingly awesome community. About me: I am in my third year in physics and math. My plan for the next 10 years is to become a research medical physicist/professor at a place with less "sunshine" than Arizona. I am hoping to learn from everyone and...
