Hi all, This has really been a difficult question for me to get through. So I need your help. I'm feeling like the walls are closing in and I need to find out what I want to do for the rest of my life~40 years more. I am an engineer in mid 20's with a master's degree in ME, working for a MNC...

I am not a physics student but have always been interested in the way things work.I have studied on my own and have a good grasp of the scientific method. My interests run the gamut but right now hydrogen , electrolysis and energy poduction are on my horizon.

Hi! I'm Costa Rican and I fell in love with physics since August last year because I always had depression and tried comitting suicide for about 3 times during all my life and I was going for a 4th time but I started reading about relativity (random things) and I fell in love <3 if it was not...

I am currently in my first year of A levels and we have completed the particle physics parts of this year and by asking my teacher and A2 physics students I have found that next year we will not be going into much more detail regarding particle physics. This left me somewhat disappointed as I...

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone knew of any physics love/valentine's day/relationship puns? I was hoping to make my boyfriend a Valentine's Day card. I know Valentine's Day isn't near, but I really wanted to give lots of thought into his gift. I would greatly appreciate everyone's...

To start off, I am a freshman majoring in physics and I am a girl. Over the past few months in college, I am beginning to feel like I don't fit in. Because I am not as smart as others, I am questioning if I still want to major in physics. To be honest, I am very good in biology and understand it...

A very brief history about myself: I was an undergraduate student for one year at a four year university in an engineering major. I applied for engineering mainly for its employment prospects. I didn't do well that year due to emotional problems. I did so poorly that I got dismissed from the...

Nice to hear your comments...

Hello :) The semestre has started and I'm taking some classes, analysis mostly. However, I want to study some topics in algebra to learn more about it. I mean I would like to try learning some gradute topics in algebra. So, without failing at semestre classes, how can I study an extra topic...

Hello everyone, i return to complete the final year of my degree in the next 12 months and go on to do further studies ie masters and phd depending on how long they will put up with me and all of my questions. I have had quite a long break, and have been continuing to study pure mathematics...

Hello, Just finished high school and will enroll in a college with a top math program this year, and I'm from a pretty mathy country. A few words about my mathematical tastes: my favorite branch is number theory, but I also like enumerative combinatorics, all kinds of algebra that I've...

I'm a 15 year old boy in high school and I have a sever case of ADHD but I take medicine for it. I love learning but lately I've noticed how much time games have gotten in the way. It's become a problem because I will be playing a game and I will know that it's taking away precious learning time...

I have a problem understanding the attached part of the book... Specifically how they derived this result for the Fs... For example I'll try to write: F_{1}^{\dagger}= - \frac{\partial W(Φ_{1},Φ_{2},Φ_{3})}{\partial Φ_{1}}|_{Φ_{1}=φ_{1}} If I do that for the O'Raifeartaigh superpotential I'll...

Homework Statement Image Homework Equations Critical damping : e-αt(At + B) R = 1.5 The Attempt at a Solution I'd like to post this before anything else to make sure that I've analyzed the circuit correctly. t < 0: vc(0) = 9V , iL(0) = 9/4 = 2.25A i = e-t/3(At + B) i(0) = B = 2.25A...

Hi all - I was having a debate with some students in my flipped class today and I can't wrap my head around Bernoulli's Principle as it relates to the sea. Can anyone explain how Bernoulli's principle works with a sail boat? I don't know how the force vectors resolve to push a sail boat...

Hello! This is my first time starting my own thread and I have spent a lot of time reading other threads and posts about Physics grad admission. My post is not really about "WILL I GET ACCEPTED?" per say, but I just need a place to write about how I feel and for some reason I feel like doing it...

Hi all, I'm a confused sophomore physics major. I love studying physics, but after completing 2 REUs (one in experimental AMO, one in computational atmospheric) I've started to realize that research is not for me. Basically, I'm not a very hands-on person, I dislike coding and I don't have the...

[FONT=Verdana]Hi guys [FONT=Verdana]With the exam coming in 1-2 weeks, the big study is coming, need to drill some exercises in probability and diff.eq. [FONT=Verdana]I was wondering, why do you like love mathematics? Thanks for passing by!

I love burgers but over the past few years I've been making an effort to minimize my consumption of beef. Within the last few weeks I've been buying salmon burgers. I thought at first it would be gross and fishy, but I was wrong. They cook up fast and with just a bit of tartar sauce they are...

Caring is a good positive sign of kindness, kind people care about other people, but why ? does it necessarily mean that they care about others on purpose in which they become unkind and the reason for caring is unknown or they care about others just because they are truly kind ? Except my...

I know how to do math. I understand its complexities and the elegance of mathematical models. Sometimes I even admire it. However I don't have a particular love for mathematics and consider it only as a tool. I am looking forward to become a neuroscientist. Would this lack of love for math...

First of all, I love math, but i am only in calculus 1. and i hear that a math degree isn't really like calculus, once you get into the analysis and theory of math it can be very different, at least that's what i hear. how can i figure out if a math major is for me, or if engineering is a...

My name is Đăng and I come from Vietnam and I have some ideas. In my country, people always caring about money and considering physics like rubish, I can't find a friend to study and talk about it so with my emphasis on physics, I want to make friend with everyone who love physics, be a...

I'm doing an REU this summer in a topic that was incredibly interesting to me based on my previous research experience. I love working in that lab, and everyone is nice and well-rounded. The PI is easy to talk to, even though he's busy. This summer though, I'm working at a very highly ranked...

I see a lot of talk about QM, relativity, particle physics, classical mechanics, electrodynamics, etc. But I hardly see statistical mechanics (or pure thermodynamics, for that matter) related matters, beyond the pure basics, that is. What's the reason for this? Is it perceived to be less...

Hi everyone, I'm a rising junior in a decent university in my country and I'm doing reasonably well in my classes and would like to grad school. Feeling that I have the competence to learn a bit more, I've always wanted to go beyond the standard syllabus and also train myself as a good problem...

Physics Forums was mentioned in the article about the German students attempts to find a closed form solution to the air resistance problem. I am not sure if Alan Boyle is a member around here since I have been MIA for a very long time on PF. Check it out...

you ever felt like math was more then just something to use or more then what's outside your work experience, and you just want to explore it and see how it all works; connecting it to things. even using it as makeup; everything. And then you go into the class; and you get failing grades...

I'm a chemistry major with an emphasis on the biochem side of things. I'm currently finishing up Calc 3 and the basic electricity and magnetism portion of my physics curriculum, and quite frankly, physics is just about the coolest thing ever. I still love chemistry. But physics delves into...

Hi, When I was in elementary school and high school, math class was very fun and easy and I was naturally good at it. But then when I turned sixteen I had to stop going to school and start working. I had no other choice. A devastating head injury on the job made me unable to work. Now, at...

Hello, I am a junior in high school and I have a new budding love for physics. Therefore I would like to know what type of physics involves manipulation of atoms and molecules. I would also like to know which colleges would be the best to apply to for that type of physics. Thank for any advice...

She should take over from Brian Williams, IMO. She would be the best anchor ever. If her network could hire away and back her up with Lara Logan and Trish Regan, they would have a KILLER line-up. I don't care about them being young and attractive - they are some of the best in the business...

I started having an interest in physics when I was in grade 10 (or Year 11 for the UK). Back then, I considered myself "gifted" in physics. I spent time reading books on popular physics, and spent very little time studying at all for the school's physics materials, but I would always get top...

I am a mechanical engineering student and I have realized that i do not like physics as much as i though i did. I seem to have a brain freeze everytime i start a physics problem. I only did a degree with physics because my mom is a physics teacher. I don't mind math and i love finance, but i...

Man, I'm so smrt. I just typed 'gargantuan' in a thread I made and I typed it correctly the first time! Do you guys ever feel super cool when you type a word that you're not even sure how it's spelled and you do it right the first go around? Man, I feel awesome. I can do anything! Are my...

Slugs love to "move it, move it!" http://www.sol.no/klipps/video/sneglen_elsker_90_talls_eurodance_se_selv

Like, seriously. What's the deal? Einstein almost lost his life hiking up a mountain, and almost every physicist I know is obsessed with hiking and is always posting such pictures on Facebook. Is it just part of their curiosity for nature, and they sense of awe they get traveling through the...

gas stoves are bad and electric stoves are good, because gas is not clean burning 100% of the time and emits toxins and can be dangerous if the windows aren't open / fan is not turned on. I was watching HGTV and these people were looking for a house and said they didn't even want to buy the...

I don't believe love is anything near objective. Therefore, I believe it's no more than a delusion. A lot of delusion can make people feel happy, like religion. Like a Space daddy watches over you all the time and make sure everytime you pull an napkin, another one will pop out right under it...

Greetings! I’m a long time lurker; so let me apologize off the bat for popping in here with my first post being a request for advice, I’ll try not to ramble too much. Two years ago the idea of "changing course" on the direction of my life came up. I pushed the idea aside, assuming my...

Hi guys! This is the third (and in my opinion, the most whimsical) chapter in a series of short stories I wrote about mathematics and physics; I hope you guys like it. Helpful comments or suggestions are welcome. Thanks...
