You know that Physics can be pretty complex with Math. Picturing a fellow doing it all by hand is quite hard. SO I imagine they've got some Physics programs where a scientest can enter their infor ,the chip does funny tricks and they come out with results. They computer could probrably do...

Hello, I am starting to think more seriously about where I would like to get my phd. I am not really interested in going into an extremely competitive program. For one, I am not a competitive person by nature, secondly, I don't think I am Stanford material, third, I think I would have a...

So I'm very interested in studying abroad at some point in the next three years and also doing some research over said period of time. Right now I think an interesting way of killing two birds with one stone would be to apply for REUs in other countries, or some analog of such a program...

I am using a ti-89 titanium for maths this year(my first graphics calculator) and in class we covered some basic programming for ti-84(the minimum calculator for this year). I made some basic formulae programs but now i can't find how to run them. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

~~~~Guidance needed!~~~~ When someone applies for masters to any U.S. University, does it matters if he/she has written research paper(s) ? Does it makes a difference if he/she had worked on some ( or many ) technical projects which involved sort of research ? or both of them? Or just one of...

I have a question on applying to PhD programs. If an MS student who received good grades in graduate school applies to a PhD program, how easy is it to get in versus applying straight to a PhD program after getting a BS? If an MS student passes the PhD qualifying exam, does this guarantee...

Hello everyone, sometimes it's easier for me to run calculations on my computer rather than to go find my graphing calculator. Are there programs out there that have all the functions (or more) of my graphing calculator (TI-83+). Also if anyone knows of any good like bluetooth keypads to...

Hi, could someone tell me about Vanderbilt, Duke, Georgia Tech MS programs. How hard is it to get in, if you're not a physics major? Should you take physics gre for any of these programs(would it help if your gpa sucks)? How about mcat? Can any of these programs be completed in 1year? If you...

Everyone has his own academic career course, but if you're planning on getting your Master's as a terminal degree, there is a lesson I learned the hard way: make sure the programs you're applying to actually exist. And I'm not joking. Two years ago, I applied to Rice University's applied...

In general, places like MIT or Caltech or Stanford, and other places that aren't as "good"(yah I know good's relative and subjective, hence the quotes)I was talking to a guy who had a 3.9 GPA, research experience, and from my own personal knowledge really good at math, and he didn't even get a...
