    Schools Graduate School: Can I get in? - Thinking about going back to Math

    Thanks. That's useful information. Also, I have taken abstract, but only one semester's worth. I haven't taken real, though. A second question, if you don't mind: did they offer you funding, also, or were you on your own? Sidenote response: It was really great. I did a lot of weird things...

    Alg 2 with trig jr yr. Precalculus sr year

    Precal isn't necessarily a review of Algebra II, but it really depends on how deep your teacher dove. Precal is more of an extension of concepts from Algebra II that bridges to calculus (functions, polar coordinates, trig, etc.). To answer your second question, your low grade does will not...

    Schools Graduate School: Can I get in? - Thinking about going back to Math

    Graduate School: Can I get in? -- Thinking about going back to Math Hi, I have been pondering some kind of PhD program in mathematics, and I have a couple questions. So, first, knowing my background might be nice. I graduated from a small, mid-level liberal arts college with a major in...

    Transferring to WashU: Is It Possible?

    So, I am thinking about transferring from Georgetown College (KY), where I currently attend, to Washington University in St. Louis. I am actually a junior, but because of my triple major I will have to stay longer than four years wherever I attend. What I am wondering is if there is anyway I...

    What are the most important classes for a future PhD in physics or mathematics?

    Yeah, I figured I didn't give enough information. I really HAVE to have all of those classes. I am planning to either go to graduate school for a PhD in either theoretical physics or pure mathematics. I will end up taking all of the classes. I guess my question has more to do with order...

    What are the most important classes for a future PhD in physics or mathematics?

    So next semester I am studying one section of the Philosophy of Physics at Oxford. This is paid for through my college; thus I can only take 9-12 hours (I am going the third term which doesn't start until late April). I am already a little behind because I had trouble deciding and have three...

    Is the Role of Mathematicians Becoming Obsolete with Advanced Computer Programs?

    Haha no need to be so hasty and generalizing, but I understand

    Is the Role of Mathematicians Becoming Obsolete with Advanced Computer Programs?

    I understand your argument, and in several cases you might be right, but number one the integral was just to complicated, he searched through books of integral tables to see if it had been solved and couldn't find anything, this professor is borderline genius. I know you don't want to believe...

    Is the Role of Mathematicians Becoming Obsolete with Advanced Computer Programs?

    A professor at my school solved an integral for some physics problem the other day that mathematica couldn't even solve... so Mathematica isn't that great after all.

    Schools Georgetown College, a small liberal arts college in Kentucky

    So right now I go to Georgetown College, a small liberal arts college in Kentucky. I am a junior and my majors are physics, mathematics, and philosophy. I have about a 3.8 and will be studying philosophy at Oxford next semester (I will actually be studying there, not one of those fake programs...
