    Physics grad classes or math with honors

    Hey guys, So I'm a physics major who wants to go to grad school in theory. My current preference is high energy theory but I'm open to other fields of course. My question is, if I want to go into theoretical physics or any very mathematical field of physics is it better for my grad school...

    Where to go from here? (What classes to take)

    I'm going to try to explain my situation without going into too much detail or sounding like some kind of sob story. Take into consideration that I'm aware that my situation is my own responsibility, and that there is no easy path for myself or anyone. I don't mean to make my situation sound...

    Maximizing Your College Experience: Taking SS/Humanities Classes Pass/Fail"

    Hi, I have to take a bunch of SS/humanities classes to fulfill my gen ed requirements. These classes bore me to death, and I don't think I can muster the strength to put in effort in these courses. If I take these classes pass/fail, would grad schools look down on it?

    Classes of polynomials whose roots form a cyclic group

    Hi, I'm currently doing a project and this topic has come up. Are there any known famous classes of polynomials (besides cyclotomic polynomials) that fit that description? In particular, I'm more interested in the case where the polynomials have odd degree. I know for example that the roots of...

    What are your feelings about long gaps between classes & waiting on campus

    for the next class to start? Sometimes classes at colleges are scheduled so inconveniently and odd, for example, they have a class which starts at 7:00 Am, the other class that you need to take that semester is at 7:00 pm in the evening -10Pm. OK Suppose you were to wait on campus from morning...

    Schools Summer school classes at 2 year college possible SCAM

    They seem to be a total scam based on, if you notice they offer Trigonometry at one school and it takes 4 weeks to complete, however the normal semester is 18 weeks long. So when you enroll in the course, the teacher is only "required" to teach a certain amount of material, if you take the exact...

    The upper division classes are not shown here, so wondering

    There must be about the same number of upper division classes for this engineering major as there are lower division? It would seem? Ok, so, this link shows lower division classes for the major, it does not show upper, so these are the classes for an engineering B.S. (In other words, these...

    REU vs. Research at my school & taking classes

    Currently I am doing research with a professor in plasma physics, which I am enjoying, though it isn't what I would like to do in the long run. This summer I am going abroad, but next summer it looks like I will have the choice between applying for an REU (which, of course, I may not get anyway)...

    Choosing Hard Classes: Benefits & Risks for Graduate School
