    Schools Can we talk about graduate school?

    This is wrong. If money is all that people want to think about these days, I honestly don't stand for it. I'm planning to double major in math and physics, neither of which may get me much money in life, but it's passion and an enjoyment for the subject that move me. Money invested in education...

    : Analysis 2 Textbook recommendations please?

    Hello, My father will be visiting the UK soon. I live in a developing country where not many books are available, so he'll be bringing them here. Now, I have already compiled a list of quite a few books. I am particularly looking forward to Munkres' Topology and Sutherland's Metric Spaces and...

    Hello everyone! I just wanted to ask a question about how I should study for differential geometry. Now, as I have it, I've got a few suggestions for books, of which two stand out prominently: 1. John Lee's Introduction to smooth manifolds 2. De Carmo Which one would be best for self study...

    Thanks a lot. That helps. I also want to know if some of the advanced physics courses that graduates take can be used to cover the electives required for the math major, if you're doing a double major? If not, I personally would rather stick to physics and take the graduate physics courses in my...

    My chances of getting into MIT, Caltech, Harvard etc

    Thanks and yes I'll look at UChicago also. But it's not the financial aid I'm concerned about at the moment; I think I can manage. My main concern is exactly what I could do to increase the chances of getting in. Is there something that they're specifically looking for? Is ther something I could...

    My chances of getting into MIT, Caltech, Harvard etc

    So basically what are my chances of getting into the Ivy League? I have keen eyes towards MIT, Caltech and Harvard. However, I have heard that double majors at Caltech require "superhuman" effort. Could anyone help clarify and explain this for me please? And also is there anything else i...
