[Mentor's note: This post does not contain the template for thread-starting posts in the homework forums, because it was moved from another forum.] "If f'(x) gives me the slope of f at some point, why doesn't f'(x)x + b = f(x)?" I have no idea how to answer this. Can you? How about: it is the...

Hi all, I graduated recently with a bachelor's in physics and I have found myself a (fortunately) steady job with a steady income. However, I've been slowly feeling my soul escaping from my body, and regrets itch out the rest of it for not going to graduate school. I didn't do so well in...

Can undocumented students get private student loans? I'm a senior and I want to apply to colleges but don't know what college is best for me. I'm applying to MIT, Boston University, MSOE, Worcester Polytechnic Institute. But can someone recommend me a few other no loan colleges that have strong...

I want to become a researcher in physics (or some other scientific field) but unfortunately my undergraduate grades in physics have so far not been too spectacular i.e. a low 2:1 in the UK. When looking at career profiles of various people in research areas I have considered, everyone seems to...

I just found out if I want to transfer to a UC I will have to take 3 years at my local community college. Is it reasonable to go talk to professors at the local university (Cal Poly SLO) and see if I could do research with them? I do not really have much to offer them other than a dedicated...

If a student transfers credits from one university to a second university, does the new university contact the old university and finalise the credit evaluation process? Or they award credits simply based on the transcript received from the old university? To clarify, I'm asking if some kind...

I am wondering if it is possible to study abroad if you are a graduate student in a science related field. I have a BS in geology and I am applying for grad school for geology/environmental science. Is it even possible to study abroad?, if so, are there certain programs that are more...

I am a sophomore student of computer engineering, and since the beginning of the summer I have been working with a small web services provider (web development, hosting, among a few other things, with close ties to my university). They took me on with no experience at all, and have been generous...

Is there is a problem in writing an expository article in a college science magazine run by a student group on a topic similar to research that I did over the summer? I thought it was very interesting and included some material from articles which I looked at then. The main reason why I'm...

I would classify myself as an average second year student with middling grades (essentially a 3.55 both in major and cumulative). It seems to me that if you want to be a physicist of any kind, you need such monumental passion and focus that an average student perhaps should not even bother. I'm...

Hey, I'm new here and didn't know where to post this thread but I decided to post it in the homework and coursework questions part although this isn't about homework. My question is, what are some good books about physics that are on a secondary school (UK) level which I can read that is fun and...

I even don't know if this is the appropriate place to post this questions, while as long as I know this place is considered for research topics and more advanced topics in physics. The point is that I need to write a MATLAB code for specific question, but first of all I need to solve it, and...

Very sad story but true.Philip Elliott recently completed his doctorate degree in Physics. He was not able to find any job and decided to take a call center job. Graduate Programs are supposed to make people successful in academia. I feel very sorry for this guy. Here is the full story...
