How did you know the hamiltonian corresponded to that matrix?

Homework Statement sorry about the lack of LaTex but I don't know how to do bra-ket notation in tex vectors |1> and |2> are a complete set of normalized basis vectors. the hamiltonian is defined as |1><1|-|2><2|+|1><2|+|2><1| find the eigenvalues and eigenvectors in ters of |1> and |2>Homework...

yeah, obviously I know engineering ist "easy" in any respect, as far as programming goes I am acruing some experience, I know java, including android, python MATLAB, and I am probs going to throw in C sometime

I see mostly people say look for easy-ish engineering jobs, I was more wondering how I could easily get my foot in the door somewhere, also anyone have any idea how bad my chances of getting into an MS program (not top program) with a 3.3 cumulative (though I switched major) and a 3.5 ish...

So I am going to graduate with a BS in physics next year, I have plans to go to grad school for EE (I know I am going to have to take undergrad courses to make up work I don't have) but I also want to hedge my bet on grad school (I might not get in, paying for it may be a problem etc.) so I am...

Homework Statement Given damping constant b, mass m spring constant k, in a damped driven oscillation system the average power introduced into the system equals the average power drained out of the system by the damping force, for what values of ω does the instantanious damping power =...

thanks for the preview, honestly in either, or any engineering I enter (oddly I am not really sold on any 1 field except I want to avoid working with too much biology ,so BioE is out) I really REALLY want to go into R&D, or at least work on more unusual contracts (examples would be designing...

I am currently on track to graduate with a BS in physics, looking to get an MS in some field of engineering, I am trying to decide between EE and ME, can anyone give me some advice as to what the average day looks like for EE's and ME's, also I am going to be looking for a job in the US so any...

Hey, So idk if this is in the right section but it might be so if it needs to be moved mods go ahead and move it my apologies in advance. I go to a liberal arts college, with a small physics department (great, short of 1 prof faculty) mostly lack of any serious funding, I did not transfer for a...

ditto everything the OP said, but may I add 1 more question: Im currently a junior in the same position (assuming OP is a phys major), I'm wondering if/ what kind of REU or internship I might look for this summer if I wanted to gear it twoards engineering, even though I am a BS in physics

As the title suggests, I am going to graduate with a BS in physics, (graduating in spring 2013) I want to go into mechanical engineering, so I am looking into masters programs (If I wanted a PhD I would get one in physics, but I don't so engineering here I come) I know I will most likely need to...

Thank you for the advice, if you cannot tell, this has been a new(ish) decision I made about my future, so I'm sort of scrambling as I see the brick wall" of graduation speeding towards me, which is why my research into specifics is limited. so far where I want to go depends on a few things...

anyone know of schools, or signs that schools like academically diverse applicants/ would make this easier, also anyone been through this and came out the other side care to share their experiences?... I don't like going down a rabbit hole blind also would it be possib le for me to convince an...

Including all the math and basic physics? (calc diff equations gen phys 1/2) edit and you are talking about transferring credits as an undergrad, or applying them for qualifications for starting a masters program?
