hey, I'm doing some self-studying in university level math but at times I get stuck or I get slow cause something isn't completely clear. Do university professors doing private tutoring?

great. could you give me the link to your book? and also, would you recommend michael artin's book on linear and abstract algebra?

mathwonk, I'm currently still a high school student and I've recently finished the two volumes by tom apostol through self-study. I haven't had any significant problems and wonder whether I should continue this by studying ode's, linear/abstract algebra, real analysis, etc, or simply turn to...

dude, go international. its like $26 for a used one. XD

first of all, I'm kinda not understanding what you're saying. are you supporting me or against me? you say happiness isn't irrelevant (meaning it's relevant) but you have a cynical tone. ah? maybe happiness has a connotation that is too innocent and romantic to be appreciated. I should say...

haha, that's a usa math olympiad question. ah, reminds me of the good old days. looking forward to putnam in college

by the way...I don't understand exactly why you guys consider the female physics professor "hot"...no offense but she doesn't "look" that special. just saying. and drew. the dead honest truth is if you're studying physics because you want to make the greatest contribution or be the...

the fact that people are learning much more nowadays is unquestionable. first of all, the number of people going to college is WAY higher than every before. people aren't just working on farms now--they're at least trying to learn. secondly, high school students are definitely learning more...

ok well here's the deal. I'm stuck between cal tech, mit, or harvey mudd. Forgetting graduate ranks and prestige cause it's nearly irrelevant at the college level, which would be a better choice? Thanks

hey everyone, I'm currently applying for college right now and I need some guidance as to which schools are stronger than others in terms of education, research opportunities, etc. Can someone give me some kinda ranking for college physics programs? thanks

hey guys, I was just wondering what courses in applied mathematics are needed for physics. Thanks

thanks. and I was wondering if mathematics can aid in conceptual thought for research. essentially coming up with new ideas in physics through mathematics.

well there actually are categories. I was thinking about discrete mathematics, numerical analysis, dynamical systems, etc. But there are many connections between physics and both applied and theoretical math so I was thinking of taking individual courses and not taking a whole major where I...

hey everyone, If I plan to pursue a physics phd in quantum theory/string theory do you recommend I get a B.S. in theoretical mathematics as well (with linear pde, Fourier anal, and topology, etc.)? I'm still not sure whether applied or theoretical math is the better choice.

and would you recommend I study applied or theoretical mathematics if i were to do a double major with physics? thanks for the post btw.
