I am a first year physics student going into my second semester. Plan is to take 3 semesters of calc. and differential equations. I was going to take linear algebra this up coming semester but it was canceled dew to lack of interest can anyone recommend some other important maths to take?

Soon I will be applying to graduate schools. In general, my interests lie in the domain of cosmology/astrophysics--don't know if theoretical or experimental, but I probably don't have the mathematical background for theoretical yet. However, most physics graduate programs do not start until...

Hello everybody. I would like to ask anyone who have taken graduate electrodynamics with jackson. What do you think is the best way to prepare yourself to graduate electromagnetism by Jackson, if only electromagnetism by Griffith is covered during undergrad. In particular, what...

Since I am about to start college, and I already know I want to go to grad school for nanotechnology, and I was wondering which major(s) I should take in college. I want to use nanoscience to fight diseases and cancers, and hopefully to stop genetic disorders. Initially I wanted to go into...

Hello, I am applying for some jobs that have pre-interview tests. Here is one description: This is for a finance job, and I am an electrical engineering major with a pretty high gpa. So I obviously have a solid math background, but what should I expect from these kinds of tests? How...

I'm starting my undergrad in electrical engineering at McGill University this fall, and while I know that it's still years ahead of me, I want to know how I can best secure my chances into whatever grad school I want down the road. I plan on doing their honours EE course, as well as a minor...

I want to get a book on inequalities to help prepare for the Putnam exam. Its common for me to spend about half an hour getting frustrated on a practice problem and then find that the only way to do the problem is with an inequality that I have never heard of. Does anyone have any...

I was told by the academic adviser at the University where I will be transferring in the near future that the hardest courses are the two Modern Physics courses, along with E&M, too. What book should I read to get a headstart? She also said that the courses will be a lot faster-paced than at the...

Ok, here we go. The question asks, for matrix A = 1 1 3 3 0 1 2 2 6 , find a vector b such that Ax(x is a vector) = b has no solution. I found the rref(a) = 1 0 1/3 0 1 8/3 0 0 0 Now to, answer the question, I gues the equation has no solution if one of the rows...

how would you prepare a 100ml of a 0.1M sodium phosphate buffer containing 0.5M NaCl,pH7.6 using henderson hasselbach equation??what chemicals would you use n how would you go about it

Homework Statement How would you prepare a 500 ml lab stock of 20% (w/v) SDS That is all that is stated in the problem. Homework Equations I'm assuming for w/v the volume would be 0.5L but the weight I'm not sure. The Attempt at a Solution 0.5L x .20 = .1g SDS / .5 L .. is...

okay, i already take an intro to proofs class. did average in it. I'm taken real analysis in the spring, but as a degree audit course. the semester following my spring semester , I am take real analysis for a grade.whats the best way to prepare for real analysis?

Kia has decided to wed, and now all i have to do is buy a royal blue suit with all the trimmings, i mean royal blue is that not a bit iffy? And i have to make a speech, ok for most guys, but i hate gatherings, i will do my best but i am sure i will cock it up. I want this day to be a day to...

I'm interested in participating in some high level physics contests in Canada, such as the Sir Isaac Newton (Waterloo) and Canadian Association of Physics High School Prize exam. I don’t have much experience with contests and stuff, so could you please guide me on to the best way to prepare...

Hello, I am very interested in learning physics, and I think that it is one subject that I actually find interesting in school. I have already completed a year of physics (grade 11), and now I'm in my second year of physics (grade 12). I am wondering, is it enough to just read my teacher's...

GREs! Verbal: How to prepare?? I know they say that having a good vocabulary is the key to success in the GRE verbal section. But I have memorized 3000+ words from Barrons's and it didn't raise my score much. Last weekend when I took the test, I rarely encountered the words that I had studied...

hey does anyone know if studying Fourier analysis is going to aid in physics, particularly in string theory or quantum physics?

Hello all, I am taking a linear algebra course at my university this fall. This course is used as a transition to more proof-orientated courses. From what I hear, this course is one where students generally do poorly if they lack the ability to construct proofs. I don't have much experience...

how to prepare the mixture of inorganic material i had a question where i want to mix three diferent inorganic material which are tungstosilicic acid, aluminium oxide and silica oxide.. Can i mixed the three inorganic material without pre-treatment? wat is the suitable process to...

In order to prepare an insoluble salt, there must only be a solid present right? The rest must be soluble and in aqueous state right?

Hi, I'm finishing my M.Sc. degree in physics, my focus being on string theory, and I have an interview with Intel in 3 weeks. The position involves improving the efficiency and performance of their microprocessor chips. I want to come to the inerview prepared. I know a lot about Quantum...

[FONT="Arial Black"][SIZE="4"] hi! thank for coming to answer my question! i am junor in high school. i want to have a future in the medical field but i don't know the way to go now. i will graduate next year but i don't know what i should take in college so i can be well-prepared for the...

I have been invited to a math contest that will take place a week from now. Its questions are all essay response (proofs and numerical answers) and it is difficult. I have never written a contest in this format before. How do I prepare for it? And how can I ensure that I am lucid as Euclid on...

I'm doing a review in calc I to prepare for calc II. I'm now applications of derivatives (optimization). Okay so when I have the function I need to optimize, I need to take the derivative and find the critical point of the first derivative. But sometimes there's more than one critical point. Is...

If you prepare 1/10 dilution of 10mg/ml solution, what is the final concentration of the solution?..help me with c1v1=c2v2

I'm planning on entering graduate school to obtain a PhD in elementary particle physics. I graduated in 1996 with a physics major. I have NOT worked in this field since that time - I now have a J.D. instead. I need to refresh my math and physics skills to take the GRE. I would imagine a...

So i have a midterm tomorrow in E&M and I'm not well prepared at all. The whole class is pretty much already prepared to fail... so I'm not alone in that at least. Basically, i have one more day (tomorrow) to study, so i best make the best of it. We get to bring index card "cheat sheets" that...

Where should I prepare the media? In the laminar flow hood or on an opened table (risks for contamination?) ?

In my Chemistry class we are doing some old diploma review questions in order to prepare for this year's Chemistry diploma. I have answered almost all of the questions. It says: The above apparatus (I'll explain the diagram later) was used to determine experimentally the molar enthalpy of...

There is talk of a record snow fall down to the valley floor, this weekend. Some meteorologists are talking about the possibility of very cold temps, down in the teens, and snow conditions not seen since the early 50s. One model would leave us with about 50" of snow on the ground where we live...

I graduated with a BS in physics last spring, and just finished the whole grad school application process. I now have from Dec. '04 - Sept. '05 to do what I want with my life, and I was thinking about how I should prepare myself to begin graduate school. I would particularly like to hear from...

Hi! I have been accepted in the IB program (I will be entering freshman year next year). I am aware we have a multitude of IB or AP students here so I have come to seek advice about what I should do to prepare for the classes that are offered. I have heard they are of immense difficulty, and...
