I can't advise you which school to go to, but let me tell you a little bit about UC schools (particularly the one I go to, UCR). Also, I'm a math major, not a physics major so there is only so much I know.
It's true that a lot of the general education classes and lower division classes are...
I'm sure you've already done this, but just to cover all the bases, have you looked into the TAG program? It makes it much easier for community college students to transfer to UCs than anyone else to transfer to a UC. Also as lisab said, at UCB and most schools the engineering departments are in...
If I could show that it would work, but the functions that I know are there (sine and cosine) aren't actually independent I think. Let's say within the elements I chose sin(2x) and sin(4x). sin(4x) = (2cos(2x))sin(2x) which is a multiple of sin(2x) making it dependent. Then again, I might...
Homework Statement
Let V denote the linear space of all real functions continuous on the interval [-\pi,\pi]. Let S be that subset of V consisting of all f satisfying the three equations \[\int_{-\pi}^{\pi} f(t) dt = 0, ~~~\int_{-\pi}^{\pi} f(t) cos(t) dt = 0, ~~~ \int_{-\pi}^{\pi} f(t)sin(t)...
From what I've heard and experienced, you don't need calculus to learn Linear algebra and you need to be fairly good with calculus for Diff Eqs. So from what you've said I'm guessing either would be fine. However, you might want to learn partial differentiation before going to diff eqs. But...
Not going to claim I'm particularly informed, but just from rankings and word of mouth I'd say UC Berkeley has an excellent physics department. I also heard that UCSB is pretty good as well.
