I got accepted and visited the college. It is small, the physics department seemed so-so, and was mainly interested in getting you hired as an engineer as soon as you graduated it seemed to me. Interesting area though, check it out if you are even modestly interested.

What subject is this in?

How often as an Astronomy graduate will I be using anything from quantum 2, or advanced EM? If I was going to do straight physics, I could definitely see myself taking all those classes.

I am a Junior Physics/Astro student at a large university in the US and have been wondering about my chances to get into grad school. I have been to a couple informational meetings, talked with people applying this year, and met with advisors and professors, but they seem to say a lot of...

I have had a extremely busy couple weeks where I could not focus on my quantum reading, and so I am a little lost conceptually. I am using Griffiths, and I am having trouble understanding what is going on in sections 4.1-4.3, which deal with the Hydrogen atom, angular momentum, and the...

Thanx all So is the TI-83 Silver a pretty good choice all around? I really didn't know what a 89 did or w/e, i just heard and read that it was for advanced math. Thanx for all the responses

I'm not exactly sure if this goes here, but it has a little to do with Academics. I am entering Senior year of HS and I am taking an AP Calc class. Since my TI-83 was stolen, I now have to invest once again into a calculator. As a pre-college student planning on taking many math/science classes...

Ok 1. I am not a Euro Socialist. 2. For the brief periods I have visited this forum, I have never seen anyone have a negative view towards money, people just realize that money isn't everything. 3. Like any "job", since you didn't list a specific job for a specific group, how is anyone...
