Bare with me here guys...:) I don't know a great deal at all about programming and what not. Here is what I want to do. I want to make a (simple)program where I would imput, let's say 10 numbers, and then I hit the "Enter" or whatever button I make, and it shows me: *The average of the...

Hello, I am wanting to go into mathematical physics for a PHD in a math department. I have a bachelors in math and soon my masters in math. I am looking for programs to apply to. I am having a hard time finding many. I don't want to go to a school that has only one researcher in the field...

As some of you may know, I'll graduate next Spring with a B.S. Mathematics and Physics minor. From my perspective, I wanted to gain a broad and fundamental technical education in undergrad. I view grad school as career training. Applied math is an option at my university. It would be the easiest...

I am just wondering, is it true that if my college has MS word and I don't have it (welll I do, but it expired), then I can get it for free from my school? How do I leech off my college's benefits? Who do I see?

Hi guys, i hope I'm noth bothering you. I was wondering if you can suggest me some good undergraduate course in physics in Europe. Something taught in English and not too expensive (lowest possible fees and living cost). I know i ask too much but I'd like to do my undergraduate deegre in Europe...

I'm currently a high school freshman in NYC and was wondering what classes I should focus on in school and what programs are available in astrophysics, cosmology, and or relating to it for someone my age? Thanks so much.

So I understand admissions to the top PhD programs are close to impossible (being a math prodigy is a necessary requirement), but how competitive are admissions to programs ranked in 15 - 20 (Northwestern, Brown, UPenn, Wisconsin - Madison to name a few)? Also, just how important is a solid...

Could somebody suggest a simple program for time management? I don't have a smartphone, so something for my netbook (XP) would be best. Thanks!

To start off, let me say I am a long time lurker, first time poster :) I am currently a senior in high school and I think I have decided what I should do as my career. You probably guessed it, yes, I want to become an astronautical engineer. However, I have a few questions about this that I...

I started taking a java course at my school and we are required to use macs. I looked for how to open other programs like text edit or the terminal but the code segments I found only worked for java. Is it possible to have a java program open other programs like text edit or the terminal on a...

Which grad programs are more likely to consider ppl with "colorful" academic records? By "colorful", I often mean records that have some very low grades in them (so often a mix of low and high grades), along with a personal statement that is less traditional than most. Of course, I must...

I'm applying for grad schools this fall, in physics and applied math. For the applied math, I would like to apply to programs that combine pure and applied math, rather than just separate applied math programs. But since I decided to apply to grad schools just a couple months ago, I registered...

Hello, I'm originally from Canada but I'm studying physics in Germany and I'm just curious to see how different the two physics programs are. It is the beginning of our 2nd year (though the germans have an extra year of high school, so probably equivalent to the start of 3rd year), and in our...

Earlier this year, I finished my AA degree from a community college and transferred to the University of Central Florida to major in mathematics. My plan is to finish my BS in math and attend grad school for math with a focus on cryptography. Admittedly, I haven't been at UCF for very long...

Mechanical Simulation Programs?? Hello i would like to know what is the best program for mechanical simulation, and the easiest one to learn and get used to (price doesn't really matter for now) the systems i want to test contain gears, springs, cranes and some pulleys all are simple...

So basically I'm considering applying to physics or applied physics grad programs. But I'm also considering doing CFD as a career. I was hoping there was a way I could see them both in a grad program, but I haven't seen any physics grad programs with CFD as a research area by itself. Rather, I...

I find myself switching my mind a lot when deciding whether to apply to aerospace engineering or applied math programs. One thing that will be a factor is how much proving of theorems is required in the applied math grad courses. Does anyone know how much proving of theorems is required in...

How would you say the undergrad math program at say waterloo university would stack up against the top undergrad math programs in the US? (for pure math in particular) I'm asking because we don't do SATs where I'm from, at school, so I'd have to do SAT as something extra... which wouldn't be...

Hi, I am applying to graduate schools this fall, and I could really use some guidance in finding a program that would be a good fit. The way I see it, there are two things I must consider: Applying to programs that may accept me, and applying to programs I would want to attend. :) I attended...

Hi, the name really says it all, I've been looking for good colleges that focus on astronomy and astrophysics, either or. The problem is that the college search sites really are not good at deciding between a college with astronomy, and a GOOD college with astronomy, one that has research, good...

I graduated last year with BS degrees in physics and applied math. I also took heat transfer and fluid mechanics courses which helped me land a job at an aerospace company before getting terminated recently due to a clearance issue. I'm not too disappointed with that as I didn't see myself...

In school I'm in a class AP Computer Science where we learn java. In the past few weeks I have learned the basics of java which came very easy to me. Now I want to know what can I do to my programs to make them stand out? What should I strive for, least amount of lines or looks the best(we...

Hi all, the title I think says it all! Is there a list "out there" of PhD physics departments with the lowest application fees?

Is that based on a 4.0gpa scale?

How many grad programs in physics don't require Jackson's Electrodynamics? Which ones among them, in particular?

Here is the thing that I noticed in most Physics and Mathematics courses, I noticed that no matter how poor our professor is, no matter how poorly written the textbook is, and no matter how everyone studies 24/7, somehow, for just some reason, everyone always scores the mean, in other words, no...

Hi all, I wanted to request your help in discerning what kinds of things seem to help students get into some of the very selective schools, specifically...Chicago, MIT, Berkeley, Harvard all come to mind... I am not optimistic about Harvard at all, but include it because in my heart of...

http://www.newmancause.co.uk/" : Boy, after having obtained a B.S. degree in physics and astronomy from a state university, can I relate to this! My professors never required that I read, e.g., the original classic physics papers that liberal arts students at, e.g...

It's been a while since I've posted here, but since my last post I've become more entrenched in the terrifying mess that is late junior year/early senior year, and the college hunting and decisions that come with it. I realize there are tons and tons of threads about this stuff, but I have some...

I'm a Canadian high school student who recently got into Queen's University for engineering. Now this is great and all, but recently I've come to the realization that economics/finance is my true passion. If I went to Queen's how long would it be before I could switch programs. And in general...

I am hoping someone can provide me with some information about what undergraduate courses are typically expected on an applicants transcript for engineering masters programs. I presume the different disciplines of engineering require different classes as prerequisites, so I'd be interested in...

Hi there. I have a friend who's currently in Caltech and is applying to various graduate schools to pursue a Physics PhD. I'm practically in the same path as he is, but I'm a senior applying to undergraduate schools as a Physics major (although I might go for a Math PhD instead). He gave me a...
