    Are PhD Jobs in Math/CS Mostly in Academia or Other Industries?

    In computer science I could only see going on past my BS degree for teaching but I am sure there could be other reasons.

    Explaining the Viscosity and Friction Effect

    I have started reading your paper and will continue to read it. My only qualifications in aerodynamics are from building model airplanes and reading "Model Aircraft Aerodynamics" by Martin Simmons. Bill Kuhl

    Are PhD Jobs in Math/CS Mostly in Academia or Other Industries?

    Having a degree in computer science and having done that type of work for over 20 years I would say it was a good choice but not always the most creative. When I started out it was all about programming and now it is pretty much all about doing support. The many problems that come up are...

    Railcar Stability: How Do They Stay Upright on a Narrow Track?

    Hello, new to this forum. My work is in computers but I have hobbies that are related to physics; model airplanes, water rockets, solar model cars, and kites. I have a science related website << link deleted by berkeman >> (non-profit), but my question which relates to an article I am working...
