Hey guys, I started toying around with Python and wxpython with the help from people here. I'm moving along the tutorials, but I am working on an astronomy project that will require the program I wanted to make impossible, in terms of how long it would take me to learn to proper code...

hello everyone,:wink: i read somewhere that machine language program is the fastest when compared to assembly language and high-level languages program. i don't get it. i think you can say machine language program is already in 'exe' form. but once assembly language program and high-level...

Hi all I was wondering if Top programs are more accomedating to those with some work experience before applying. I want to try for the top ie MIT, UCs, Stanford etc... but I definately would like to work for a bit before conintuing on to grad studies. Is it less competitive for these...

Tom's thread "Why I'm REALLY disappointed..." continues to get increasingly thought-provoking and informative. I summarized some recent discussion here: https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?p=3219363#post3219363 I had some reaction to recent posts by Suprised and Tom that I will put in...

I have come to the semester where I have to make a choice. My school has two physics programs; an applied program and what's called a pre-professional program. The latter is designed for people who want to pursue a PhD. I've made up mind on the graduate school part, but I am waffling on which...

Are there any programs which could be used to fit the Supernova data to constrain the cosmological models's parameter? thx

I am a senior deciding between graduate schools right now. I have heard back from all programs but one (I know this program has sent out both acceptances and rejections). I have sent this program two emails, one two weeks ago and another last week, but I have yet to hear a response. I was...

I'm pretty sure there was a grad school FAQ sticky, but I can't find it (am I just blind?). Search didn't bring it up. I've heard a lot of different things about grad school applications. Grades are everything, all that matters is if you've done research; being published is a huge boost...

Pretty shocking. Who knew there was such a gaping hole in our legal system that can have immense consequences. South Caroline *just* enacted policy that makes it a requirement for someone to have at least a high school diploma if they want to be a coroner.

Here is the code that I have come up with. What could be implimented to make it compile and run? It runs, but all that comes up is the request for the integer between 1 and 3999, after I enter the number the program simply ends. CODE: #include <iostream> using namespace std; string...
