    Skateboarders Jumping Over 2 Cars, Math Help Needed

    This is not a homework question, my friend just wanted me to consult math experts to make him feel safer. Homework Statement My friend is building a ramp for us to make the jump over 2 cars. I weigh 120 pounds, and my friend weighs 135 pounds. I figured the ramp needs to be anywhere from...

    Physics Bachelor's in Theoretical Astrophysics at 18?

    Yeah. I decided I'm going to do graduate in four years and try to soak up all of the knowledge available. I watch the local and national news almost every day, that might give me something to talk about in a college situation. I think I've tried to get my mom to order "The God Delusion"...

    Physics Bachelor's in Theoretical Astrophysics at 18?

    I'm social when I'm skateboarding and at skateparks/spots. I also skated in a contest with people I had never met before. It required a little bit of an effort to be social. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=<object width="500" height="405"><param name="movie"...

    Physics Bachelor's in Theoretical Astrophysics at 18?

    I will take a look at how the courses will fit together and if it looks like I will not be able to complete them in time to get my bachelor's degree when I'm 18, I will aim for something else.

    Physics Bachelor's in Theoretical Astrophysics at 18?

    It will be a challenge. Also I think it will look good on resumes.

    Physics Bachelor's in Theoretical Astrophysics at 18?

    That's something I'm going to look forward to. There isn't much of a selection on mathematics, physics or astronomy books at my local library. That's very true. In most of my classes this year I was about the only one who wanted silence either to hear the teacher or to concentrate. Most kids...

    Physics Bachelor's in Theoretical Astrophysics at 18?

    If testing out of courses does nothing to a person's GPA, why do people not test out of courses to raise their GPA? And I don't plan on joinning a Frat. I don't feel comfortable at parties anyways.

    Physics Bachelor's in Theoretical Astrophysics at 18?

    Thank goodness you told me that. I just don't know whether to get a bachelor's in physics or astronomy now. If I were in pursuit of a PhD in theoretical astrophysics and interested in cosmology, which one would likely be best suited for me? Is there a PhD degree in theoretical astrophysics or...

    Physics Bachelor's in Theoretical Astrophysics at 18?

    I wanted to know if it would be at all possible to get my bachelor's degree in theoretical astrophysics at the time I'm 18. I'll be 16 when I graduate this year from high school, and I'm taking 2 dual credit college classes (the max a student can take). I'm also taking AP Physics and AP...

    Schools Achieving Theoretical Astrophysics at 15: Challenges & Opportunities

    I want to be a theoretical physicist. I'm 15 and a sophomore in high school. I'll be graduating next year (3 year program) when I'm 16. It's not a minimun program, I'm actually on the most distinguished graduation program (Texas Scholar). I just get many credits in a short amount of time. Since...

    I found something, but I'm not sure what it is. Summation Notation

    Thanks :) I'm 15 and just learned summation notation. I was playing with it for a few hours Saturday and my high school Geometry teacher thought it was pretty neat.

    I found something, but I'm not sure what it is. Summation Notation

    I came across this yesterday when I was looking for equalities between the sums of two summations. I'm not sure if this is part of a proof or what.
