Part iii Definition and 21 Threads

Hello, this is my first post. So sorry for the long read in advance. I will graduate from Part II mathematical tripos this year, and I'm currently having a hard time deciding where to go for my Master: For now, I'm definite that I want to do theoretical physics PhD (gravity, cosmology, or...

Hi all, I am currently an undergraduate at a top 10 US university majoring in mathematics. It is common for undergrads at my institution to do a year abroad, and I think that by my junior year I will be prepared to take part III of the mathematical tripos at Cambridge. Here is a list of some...

Some Topology Whereas the terminology of vector fields, trajectories, and flows almost by itself suggests its origins and physical relevance, the general treatment of vector fields, however, requires some abstractions. The following might appear to be purely mathematical constructions, and I...

Hello all, I'm currently planning to apply to Cambridge Math Part III. My questions: (1) What should I do to improve my chance to be admitted? (Basic information attached below) (2) How helpful would this program be for application to PhD programs? (I'm aiming for top US programs, you know...

Has anyone been through the application process for the part iii physics at Cambridge as an external student? If so, what is the interview like? What sort of questions do they ask? Thanks

I recently applied to Cambridge for a MASt in Applied Mathematics, which falls under the curriculum of part III of the math tripos. I was wondering if anybody else has applied for or completed this course? If you have, would you mind giving a summary of your academic background? I'd like...

Has anyone done this before? If so, what were your reasons for considering it? What did you think about it? I'm hoping to find out more about what areas of math I want to focus in grad school, but I've also heard that it doesn't help all that much (although it was fun anyway). How does the...

Homework Statement ##| \ X \in \mathcal P(\{0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9\}) : |X|= 4 \ | = \ \ ?## Homework Equations There's no wording in the exercise , just what I wrote above.If I understood correctly , they asked me to find the cardinality of the set of all subsets of {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9} that...

Hi, I've received offers for both of the above courses and I'm trying to weigh up the pros and cons of both, bearing in mind that whatever I choose will be preparation for a Theoretical Physics PhD in the UK or Europe. I'd just love to spend the year at Cambridge, if only to be able to say I've...

Im studying my bachelors degree in physics and math outside the UK, but inside the EU. I am just wondering how hard is it to get into this program? I probably could get funding from my home country so let's assume that money isn't a problem. If I get my bachelors with 1st class honors and...

Hello, I consider starting a master in theoretical physics in a little more than a year. Currently I'm halfway doing a bachelor in both (applied) physics and mathematics and so far it is going pretty good. I looked around a bit on the internet and came across the Cambridge website and read as...

Hello everyone, I have just got admitted by Part III at Cambridge. This is a great program so I probably will go there. One thing concerns me is the troubles applying to US college PhD after finishing Part III. Since all Part III exam results come out around June, and deadlines in applying for...

Dear Forum-Community, Provided that I got offers from the Imperial College London for the Master Course "Qauntum Field and Fundamental Forces", from the University of Cambridge for "Master of Advanced Study" (Part III of the Mathematical Tripos) and from the Perimeter Institute of Theoretical...

Hello! Suppose that your objective is to do a PhD in an american university, one of the top to be exactly. Imagine you have to opportunity to chose between Cambridge Part III and Perimeter Institute master program. Which master would be the best way to achieve the stated goal? What would be the...

Hi everyone, I'm an American math undergrad, hoping to eventually become a professor. I was accepted to the Cambridge Part III course, and it looks like it would be fun in terms of the wide selection of classes and meeting other math students. However, I'm a little uncertain of my...

I am now considering applying to Cambridge for a PhD in theoretical physics. My background is basically: rank 5% in one of the top 3 universities in China (it seems it's hard for Chinese student to get a phd in theoretical physics?), above average GRE and TOEFL scores, and have been doing...

Hi I have just finished a Master degree in Physics and I am looking for a PhD in theoretical physics. Doing this, I eventually came along with the Part III in Cambridge (also known as Cambridge Certificate of Advanced Studies in Mathematics). After reading the information given on the...

hello i am currently doing my masters in astronomy from a UK university..i didnt apply for any phds this year for i felt i didnt have the right kind of knowledge..so i thought another masters would do me good (am interested in cosmology) now i have three offers (am an international student...

It's been a while since I last did this, and we've had a bunch of new members sign up since, so let's have another round of the same, wot? As usual, I refer the newcomers to earlier rounds of this game: Part I Part II Solutions to Part II HOW THE GAME WORKS: I make up cryptic...

The rules : # no googling #no more than 2 questions may be answered by each person, one of which must be Q1 (which is open to all and may be attempted in addition to the other question). Q1. This is a toughie. In the words of Carl Jacobi,"Only _____, not I, not Cauchy, nor Gauss...
