Because I feel like what I'm doing is pointless and I would rather be enjoying my summer than sitting in a windowless office typing on mathematica all day long. Plus my boss assumes I know WAY more than I should for my level of student and I can't understand the grad student that I can ask for...
Hey guys, I need some advice... So I'm doing research with a professor in my university's physics department and I really want to quit, is this a terrible idea for my future? I'm going into my senior year as a physics BS with a 3.38 gpa. Last summer I had a pretty good internship that I stuck...
okay thank you!,
"Determine the value of M for which the number of states is a maximum for a given N."
The value of M should be 0 correct?, because the middle of the Gaussian distribution will be centered at the origin. M=Nup-Ndown
yes, the stirling's approximation just gives a means to calculate N! for very large N, but I still don't know how to apply that to entropy per particle...
Consider a large number N of localized particles in an external magnetic field H. Each particle has spin 1/2.
Find the number of states, g(N,M), accessible to the system as a function of M=(Nup-Ndown), the magnetization.
Calculate the entropy per particle.
Determine the value of M...
My school does not have a nuclear engineering program either, they have 3 courses in nuclear engineering:
ME-461, Introduction to Nuclear Engineering
ME-460, Nuclear Reactor Engineering
ME-483, Special Topics: Reliability and Risk analysis for Nuclear Facilities - Methods and Applications...
yes, I suppose that was not specific enough... I am very interested in nuclear power, both fussion and fission, but my school does not have much of either.
Hi all,
This is my first post on the physics forums boards, I have read a lot and appreciate everyones input on here!
I have a dilemma that I would like some advice on...
Currently I am a second year BS Physics major who is most interested in energy and nuclear physics. My physics...
