    Current State of the Big Freeze end of the Universe Theory.

    I was trying to find an updated view on the plausibility of the Big Freeze. I believe that a couple of years ago, it was considered the most likely end of the world scenario and I was just wondering if it still is. Also as a side question: I understand that Big Freeze happens with an...

    Which parts of Calcs I-III are most important to remember for higher level math?

    Thanks for the advice chiro and micromass. Ah gosh, so limits are essential? I have a good grasp of how to do them but I never really understood their importance or application in areas of math or science. Stuff like this worries me because I can do the practice problems but I feel like I'm...

    Which parts of Calcs I-III are most important to remember for higher level math?

    Hi, I realize that this might be a silly question to ask without some proper background so: I'm a rising sophomore who is reviewing Calculus I-III right now. I first took Calculus as a junior in high school under the AP Calculus BC curriculum. I then took multivariate calculus and a semester of...

For some background: I just finished my freshman year at a decently reputable small liberal arts college. I was originally thinking about a...

    2012 Physics and Astronomy REU Programs

    I got rejection mails from UCLA and RIT. Columbia's program doesn't email a rejection and rather just updates their site when all the spots are filled up. Called the Stony Brook director yesterday. Looks like I'm 0/4 on REUs this year unless a person they took decided to reject their offer...

    I've been rejected from UCLA, Columbia, and RIT so far. The only one left for me is Stony Brook's program which was really the one I wanted most from the start. The director of the program emailed me last Sunday asking me when and how he could contact me to discusss my application but since then...

    Programs Is a 3-2 Dual Degree Program in Engineering at Dartmouth Worth It?

    Let me first thank everyone for all the responses. I would really prefer not transferring out of my current school because it really is a large hassle that I don't really want to get myself into. I'm pretty happy with my school right now anyway. And I believe getting into the 3-2 program...

    Programs Is a 3-2 Dual Degree Program in Engineering at Dartmouth Worth It?

    I am currently a freshman a liberal arts college and have recently taken an interest in engineering as a possible career path. While my school does not directly offer an engineering degree, it does offer a 3-2 dual degree program at Dartmouth, where I spend my junior year and a 5th year there to...
