Does University of Waterloo have one of the best programs in Canada? How hard is it to get accepted into it? (just recently applied) *got roughly a 96/97% avg through hich school Plus, how much do schools rely on extracurricular activites? Any tips for someone looking to pursue...

Well first off I should say that my CAD college classes were done on AutoCAD 2005. I did not own a computer of my own at that time and thus I did not purchase the student version of the software but just used the system installed on the campus computer system. Now that I'm no longer in school...

I'm an UG right now, but I plan on doing research in theoretical physics (probably particle physics. I want to work on finding a TOE. Possibly QM or QED instead). Which schools are best for these pursuits? Thank you.

I'm currently an MET student at UMaine. I like what I'm doing a lot, I just feel like it is very technical and won't allow me to be accredited to do anything else but 'execute someone elses plans' instead of designing something of my own. Does anyone know of any graduate programs for MET? Or...

Just a wondering, can a the programs for ti83+ run on a ti89 titanium? Thanks!

Hello everybody, I currently have a degree in chemistry and I am working on another in physics. I plan on going to grad school when I finish the second degree. That will probably be in four years or so. I'm working full time for the next couple of years while taking classes and then I will...

I don't know which forum this question pertains to. What are the best programs that can be used to create without too much effort good quality smooth diagrams in a scientific paper? A colleague of mine used CorellDraw. What do you use?

Does anyone know of a good physics interactive computer program to mess around with, and perhaps even learn something? maybe even a mathematics program as well would be cool. if you have any ideas, i'd appreciate you sharing!

Hey everyone! I was just curious about any schools that offer part time programs that are offered during the day (or at all if it comes to it). I'm studying EET at the moment and plan to graduate with a BS; I just want to know if there is any chance of getting an EE with my credits if I...

Me and my friend love physics/math and we're interested in going to a summer program to learn more. Does anyone know some good ones?

This game is where you try to hit a target on the ground, very simple but addicting. Called Arcshot, I did not make this, I found it on the web and though it was fun so i put it here for others. Key: -> is Sto < or > is less than or more than * is times ^ is a carrot If you can't find...

hi, I am doing m.sc. physics through distance education. i want to do phd in physics field. If i take up gre general and gre subject in physics, will i be considered by colleges in u.s. or u.k. for higher education since i did m.sc. education through distance education. Please advice...

Hi, I'm looking for video lectures for the classic MIT course Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs. While MIT OCW doesn't have any videos for this course, on the internet there seems to be at least two different sets of videos claiming to be of this course. It seems that one is...

[SIZE="3"][FONT="Garamond"]Sorry for the long post, and thanks in advance for anyone willing to help me make this decision. My school offers some options with the physics major supposedly designed to enable students to be more ready to join the workforce after college. As this is my plan, I am...

Hi all. This question has been asked previously on this forum but there was no reply I think. Which are the good programs for computational physics? I did (am doing) my Bachelor's and Master's in Aerospace Engineering from IIT Bombay. I got interested in CFD at first, but then my senior thesis...

When applying to physics or astrophysics PhD programs, how do you determine which schools are "stretches", "good fits", or "safety schools"? Personally, my goal is to get into a decent school with an astrophysics program. My GPA is 3.80. I have researched with a professor in NMR and...

Hey guys, i just have a few quick questions about the above topic. 1st off, i am in currently a junior earning my applied physics degree with my concentration in engineering (engineering physics i guess you could say). As time went on i realized i was interested in mechanical/ aerospace...

Hi, I was just wondering, are there any top physics grad programs (top 20 or 30) that offer combined degrees such as PhD physics along with MD or JD. So far I've only found University Rochester MD/PhD and UIUC MD/PhD. Norwestern also allows a JD with any PhD program. I'm asking this because many...

Hey. I've just finished my first year of uni, and it is almost time to enrol in next years units. I have been kicking up between chemical and mechanical engineering for the past year, but after much research, i think ill go with chemical and process engineering. I was reading about the...

A little over a year ago I graduated from a state school (Western Michigan University) with a double major in Film and Archeology. I have always liked math but was more focused on film. This summer I started studying math on my own and placed into a pre calculus class at a city college. I am...

Hi, from relating posts I can't decide how things really are. I'm B.S. of General Physics studying for M.S. of Mathematical Modeling (1st year of 2). It cost huge amount of energy to gain necessary mathematical knowledge (Functional Analysis, PDEs classical+modern, Various lectures of...

So, I'm filling out applications for graduate school. In each of the applications there is a section to mention the names of any professors you have contacted. I have yet to contact any professors at any graduate institutions. I know that this can help in getting accepted to competitive...

What do most Math/Stat grad programs consider a "good score" for the general GRE? A friend told me you need an 800 in the quant section, and I've also heard that as long as you're above 700, you should be fine. I took the general GRE today, got a 570 in verbal, 790 quantitative. Don't know...

Does anyone know any good physics and math computer applications? something good for homework or anything of the sorts. something fun to mess with at least.

Hi everyone, So, I've got some questions that fall into the category of social etiquette. I'm an undergrad, will graduate this year, and am looking at potential graduate programs, so hopefully I'll be visiting a few schools in the spring. I might also be attending a conference in my field...

the wife does printing grafixs and wants to have several programs open at the same time like photo shop, illustrator, paint and others will a 4 core CPU be better or a faster 2 core CPU be better I have heard that most programs do NOT use more then one core at a time but will each open...

How much does the GRE verbal matter to a top graduate program in mathematics?

Hello all, It looks like I'm switching my major to engineering, in my senior year no less. My engineering program is not very developed, the highest degree offered is MSE, and they only offer three disciplines within engineering. My university's engineering website is...

In my current undergrad BS program, I need two semesters of any foreign language. I've been looking into graduate programs in math, and quite a few of them seem to require some knowledge of French, German, and/or Russian. How prevalent is this requirement in the United States, and would it be...

Hi all, I was just wondering where I could find a list of physics programs the university of Toronto has, and I was also wondering what kind of marks should I should have to get into these physics programs. Currently i have a 82% average in grade 11 but I plan to work a lot harder in grade 12...

I'm looking for some useful calculator programs that I can use for my ap test on wednesday, however I'm having a hard time finding them. What is a good site to find calc programs? Namely I'm looking programs that can solve Newtons/Eulers method problems, mid-point/left/right/trap sums, or...

So, I am finishing my undergrad (physics) this year and have several offers from graduate schools. What I am looking for is some insight as to what career appears to be better as far as job opportunities and pay. I am equally split on which program I like more, so that has become a...

How can I tell whether or not a school's degree program is worth it or not? I know to stay away from the online degree mills and make sure that all schools are accredited by recogonized associations; however, I do not know how to judge a school's education benefit. Is there any way to find this...
