    Schools Where Can I Find Top Physics Grad Schools with a Focus on Safety in California?

    I see, thank you for replying. From what you've said I am probably well below the average applicant and might not have a chance of getting in everywhere. I have already considered applying into a MS applied physics or an electrical engineering program. Do you think these are better options for me?

    Is Downloading UIUC Mathematica Courseware Legal?

    Actually, students are required to buy the courseware for $25 dollars, so this was a mistake link on the their part. Furthermore, the teacher is thinking of giving everyone who used the free version (courseware 6) a 0 on the homework assignments.
