Quick question: The current on a perfectly conducting plane of infinitessimally small thickness is equal to H on one side of the plane minus H on the other side, right? Thanks! -Matt

What are the approximations for Bessel functions J_n with small arguments? I've had a very hard time finding this online. Thanks! -Matt

Hey all, I'm applying to grad school this fall, and I'm starting to think about my application essay. I'm going for biomedical engineering (specifically imaging), and most of the essay topics are similar (Why is this program right for you? Why do you want to study it? etc.) I just bought...

Advanced E&M - Balanis Communication and Signal Theory - Forgot the Book Intro To Biomedical Engineering - Vander's Human Physiology Intro to Short Story-lol Undergrad Research-Professor Buma Hope the semester isn't too tough. Advanced E&M Is a grad class. I'm going to be a senior.

"Div, Grad, Curl and all that" by H.M. Schey is an awesome informal text on vector calculus. I'm using it right now for self study, and it's really good. Also, you may want to look into "Optics" by Eugene Hecht. I think this book may be at a lower level then what you are interested in, but...

Thanks for anyone who answered the question. It seems like 760 is good enough. Sorry for not appreciating blunt posts with no explanation. A lot of you guys were really helpful though, and I really appreciate it.

I do not plan on getting into grad school on my GRE's alone (obviously). My question is "do you think a 760 Quant will get me past a first cut in the admissions process." Phrased differently, do you think competitive grad schools look at applications with scores as low as 760 quant? My...

I just want to say that posts like this aren't useful. Not only does it fail to explain itself in any constructive way, the tone is offensive in its nonchalance. I asked a question that warranted an answer and an explanation. I think you should know that this post negatively affected me, even...

Hey everyone, I have heard over and over again that GRE scores are used by most engineering grad schools as a cut off; everyone above a certain score makes the first cut, and everyone below a certain score doesn't. I want to go to engineering grad school (specialize in biomedical). I took...

Hey everyone, I am a rising senior Elecrical engineering major at University of Delaware. I have done research in biomedical optics for 2 years and am highly motivated to go to graduate school. I have bought the book "Getting What You Came For", which is a guide to applying and living...

The GRE quantitative section obviously is not trivial for anyone in a math related field seeing as how the average for all engineers is about 750. Thank you, though, I know never to ask a question on this forum again.

You're right, getting an 800 will be no problem, sorry for asking.

Hey, Can anyone recommend me a GRE prep book that helped them prepare for the quantitative section of the GRE? It probably doesn't come as much of a surprise because of the forum we are on, but I am shooting for an 800 in quant, so I obviously don't need an extremely basic review book. I...

Hey guys, I'm a junior electrical engineering major. I took vector calculus last year, and I don't remember too much. Next semester I am taking Electromagnetics, so I want to brush up on my line and surface integrals and all that stuff. Do you guys have any advice where I could go to reteach...

Why aren't EE programs very competitive?
