This is old but in case anyone cares...
The original paper is "On the division of energy in the emission-spectrum of a black body", it's written in english, or was translated and is quite clear and very readable, even for modern readers. He assumes that the form black body radiation formula is...
Don't misunderstand me, I work hard to get better and better at math. But you have to just tackle the math and then it's not a big deal when you see it in the physics classes. I just fight my battles in math classes so that I don't have to in my physics classes.
This is indeed the case, which is why my gut tells me not to be greedy and just be thankful I got into a good school, regardless of whether ot not it's the best out of the batch I applied to.
but I have to consider what happens if a school I may like better than the "accepted" one calls me. I just wish I had more time. This is a tough decision. I think that I should just count myself lucky, I got into a good program and it's in a place I would like to live.
^ that's exactly what I was thinking. It's a good school, I'm happy to accept and am happy that they accepted me. I am just worried about not ending up at the best place I can end up at. If that's the wrong way to think about it than maybe I don't have the right viewpoint and I would love to...
I once had the same problem. All I can say is learn to love the math, get a math degree if that's what it takes.That's what I did and now I do well in all my physics classes even though I don't do so well in my math classes.
moral dilema
I have not done this but my question is this;
Say I'm on the waiting lists at schools better than the one I was accepted to (phd program). The schools that accepted me want an answer by april 15th.
The better programs that have me wait listed won't tell me until shortly after...
