I think I've got into a trap of studying far too much. I'd like to know what a reasonable study time would be per day? There have been days I've literally spent the entire day going over material with very few breaks, and I've decided this is where my trouble lies, not in not understanding the...

I really wanted to create a topic about this regarding the act i am horrible when it comes to deadlines, it always seems to be delayed when i simply don't feel like it, the question is...does anybody know a way to stop procrastination (laziness) ? Now granted i did discover some neat things...

I have heard 40-80 hours a week, can it really be 80 hours a week? that's nearly impossible if you have to commute for any long period of time... So I'd like to hear of your schedules, especially if you have attended UBC. Also, which years of engineering are the most difficult? does the...

So it's been 10 years since I've been out of college, and this year, I've decided to realize my goal of becoming an actuary. My problem is that I keep failing the first preliminary exam. I know that these exams are supposed to be tough, but at the rate that I'm going, technically, I should...

I am a junior in high school who hasn't been exposed to any Physics class. I plan to take the exam the next school year since the exam is said to be very difficult. I really want to get a 5! Like I said, I will be self-studying for this exam as much as I need too, but I first need to read over...

What background one needs to have to study QFT? I have a good background in calculus, linear algebra, PDEs, and quantum mechanics (at Shankar's level). Are these enough?

Hi, I think this belongs in this thread? I have a very weak math foundation stemming from high school. My Algebra II teacher was pretty bad, but it was my fault that I did not put the effort into learn and teach myself Algebra II. Then my geometry teacher was an easy A because she was new to...

Hello, I am currently in high school and I recently got the opportunity to do an independent study with one of my teachers and I am struggling to come up with what to study. I have taken calculus 1, 2, and 3, differential equations (with a bit of linear algebra), and calculus-based mechanics and...

I'm thinking about enrolling into an engineering program soon, I was wondering how many hours per week do you think the average student in mechanical engineering spends studying in class and out of class? Thanks.

Well obviously I'm not talking about mentally challenged people, but if two people are relatively distant in pure IQ tests (given the same initial education on abstract concepts that may aid such a test), will it play any significant role after a point? Will the smarter person ever be able to...

I'm on my second year in physics and I've begun to think I've chosen the wrong subject. I feel like I simply don't possesses the thinking processes of a physicist. Is there a specific way I should approach problems? A specific way I should think about concepts in my mind? I'm on the verge of...

Hello, I am new to posting on this forum so I will give some background. I am 15 as of tomorrow and I am a mathematics enthusiast. I also consider myself a proficient java developer. Some other general bits of info are that I have an interest in physics and astronomy and I was also, two weeks...
