I think I understand what you are saying. Probability does not tell me anything other than what the math defines as the probability. So if I observe an experiment for a given amount of time, all I can say is that I will see a certain event with a certain probability. So if I want to relate...

Does the probability that an event occurs with a certain observed frequency mean that when modeling the probability of the event it is assumed the event will occur at some point because it is an observed frequency? chiro, thanks for the welcome. From what you and Stephen said it seems like you...

I'm not sure how to think about probability when it's applied to something like statistical mechanics. My thinking might be off since I haven't taken a formal thermodynamics class yet. I guess the example I will use is a room filled with two gases. The gases will disperse randomly. The...

I had to bump this thread. I recently transferred to a big university and it's amazing seeing how the test takes precedence over actual learning. 95% of the students learn by memorization and repetition instead of understanding things logically and building an intuition. Another thing is the...

Thanks for your advice. I was just reading the thread you made. I'm not sure what to do. I only seem to really learn when I can read and I guess create an understanding on my own. I don't learn from lectures. I'm not sure if I can go part time with my major. I was thinking about taking a...

I’m not sure how much to write or how to write something like what I’m about to write. That sentence was weird but I’m more interested in getting some answers or advice than grammar and prose at the moment. I’m a little down right now so this would probably be different than if I wrote this...

Thanks for the replies. I'm planning on going to Pitt. I'll be talking with a Pitt advisor soon. I think I've narrowed possible majors down to Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or Engineering Physics with a minor in Materials Science.

Bump for any advice.

I'm interested in biology, physics, and Gerontology. I was going to major in Biomedical Engineering, but I have been reading that is a narrow major for an undergrad. Some other majors I have seen people recommend are Mechanical Engineering and Engineering Physics. I would like to eventually...
