I'm curious what your thoughts are on this program: https://uwaterloo.ca/science/current-undergraduate-students/majors-minors-specializations/medicinal-chemistry-co-op-only It's a new program at Waterloo. It sounds to me to be similar to pharmacology, but I was under the impression that...

Homework Statement I am making mini programs where there some calculations going on and when all that is done my program is to ask the user if he wants to repeat the calculations or not. If he does then the program is to restart and if he doesn't then he can close the window by pressing the...

Suppose for a moment that you found just the one professor that you wanted to do a postdoc with. However, that professor works for a university that does not offer a physics graduate program. Can you still attempt to get a postdoc with that professor or you'd be better off finding another...

I'm writing a program in C++ that reads integer values from a file. I am trying to run it but it either keeps crashing or running uncontrollably. Here is the function where the problem is: void createList(intNode*& intList) { intNode* lastInt; //points to last integer in file...

Are there simple programs where you can put formula and it asks for the inputs and output the results? For example, the program wants to solve for e=mc^2 It asks c, it asks m, then it outputs e? Needs pc program and apple itune application for this. Just a simple program. Thanks.

I have a new problem where I have 2 formulas, and I need to tell my program that at certain intervals/parameters/bounds it needs to do one of the formulas and at other intervals it needs to do another one. To be more descriptive When ever my time=0 to time=(T/2) it should do formula 1, and...

Hi everyone. Recently, I started a MS program (terminal) in applied physics. I'm noticing my desire for physics really isn't there. The core coursework (classical mechanics, math physics) thus far isn't too interesting, thus I'm not doing that well. The honest reason for going is that it...

I was wondering if anyone could give me any advice/past experiences about applying to the MIT phD nuclear engineering program. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
