the majority of them will be gone but some will still remain?

got it. textbooks ftw

this is just something has been bugging me for the last few days. it seems like it has a very basic solution. Muons decay randomly, but have a mean lifetime of about 2 us. If I plot the # of muons that decay vs. time (say the axis spans from 0 to 20 us), why is the plot exponential decay...

to the physics majors out there...do/did you find that although your work is challenging, it is extremely rewarding and worth struggling over? i recently decided on a physics major and will be hitting the heavy courses next year

in any case, i expect to get a certificate (kind of like a minor) in finance for versatility. would this, when combined with a hard science or engineering major where there's a heavy emphasis on quantitative analysis, open up more jobs for me? also, by free time, i don't mean "go out and...

Hi! I don't know what to pick as a major. I am extremely interested in both fields (moreso than any other major at the school), however, I don't want either discipline to occupy my entire life as an undergraduate (I'd like to have some free time). I already satisfied most of the...
