Studying Definition and 627 Threads

I was studying up on an aspect of perturbation theory, and I must have strained something (there's something about Hilbert spaces that I just can't get my head around...sorry, bad joke), because I have a really bad headache now. I was wondering what a headache is, and how we get them. I know...

I’m looking for tips, tips on studying, keeping good notes and anything that will help me do well on test/exams

I'd like to learn group theory to understand QM and particle theory, and I looked at several books on discrete mathematics but they didn't mention SU groups. I'm an absolute beginner in group theory or discrete math, but I don't want to spend too much time on materials unrelated to physics. Do...

HEY ! I AM CURRENTLY STUDYING FOR ENGINEERING AND HAVE LUST FOR ROCKETS. I WANT SOME GOOD INFORMATION ABOUT ROCKET DESIGNING . PEOPLE HELP ME OUT HERE. :biggrin: :!) :wink:

Hello everyone... As you can notice from my posts ! I'm a fresh to this forum. It's one of my first visits. There are bunch of topics in this forum and all I thought it was about physics...lol I didn't have time to take a look at the enormous posts and threads of this site. So, what do you...

Hi, are there anyone studying biophysics (or has studied biophysics)? I am currently choosing my possible field of study in university. I saw a major called "biophysics" but do not really know what it is. It is obvious that it is a major that combines biology and physics. But what i am...

Hello, I've been studiing homotopy this semester in a readings course out of Munkres Topology book. I'm in the mismash about free groups, wedgies of circles and pasting stuff. Could you recommend a lower level text that I could peruse as a supplemental text? Something a bit more explicit...

Since I'm studying for my final exam, I'm going to make you guys suffer. Any help would be appreciated in this. Here's the first one... Find the 40th term of the arithmetic knowing the general term a(n) = a(n-1) + 4 and first term a1 = 13.

ok..haveing trouble understanding some examples in the book... 1) 1000kg rocket is fired striat up, need rocket to escape and never return. what speen does rocket need to escape from grav pull to never come back?(non rotating earth) i know rocket can't stop so or it will be drawn back into...

Studying for exam, need help! Hi can someone help me out. My girlfriend has an exam tomorrow and she got stuck on this question. Her professor decided not to give out any solutions she's not too sure if she is heading in the right direction. Any help would be great, thank you in advance...

I have an upcoming exam on special relativity. What i would like to know is, how one should proceed about studying for it? Thanks

[FONT=Verdana]This is my first year of physics . On the first day my professor had already told us that we would be learning physics differently than any other class we would be taking. I had been able to zoom through all of my other classes like econ, pysch, english, math, chem, bio etc. For...

I haven't got enough exercises of some course I've failed in July: Structural Engineering. I have to study it again :cry: , but I do not have any interesting exercise about arches and portal frames. Do you know any web link with some of this kind of exercises solved?. I've tried google...

Ok, bear in mind that I am DUMB when it comes to math... There, I said it... :cry: Ok, I was thinking about calculus and part of calculus is studying curves, identifying degree of curves, writing equations for curves, and stuff like that. Well it is simple to me to relate everything...

I understand that in the US the academic year has already started, and the rest of us will follow shortly. So let's share, what are you studying this year and courses will you take this semester? I'm starting my MSc program in physics (yippie !), and the first year consists of "A Thorough...

When we study something, say math, we learn accepted axiomatic ideas. aren't those very axiomatic ideas what define math? By defining, do they not tell the precise nature of mathematics? Supposing the answer is "yes" to both questions, then allow me to ask one more question: Is "the nature of"...

Hi, I am terribly addicted to studying. So addicted that I am incomplete without it. Anyway, I today I was at a book store and I found the greatest study book ever: AP English and Composition. I got very excited, read 15 pages and wanted the $30 book (it comes with a CD rom too! :smile: )...

Hi All, I've started to study vector calculus and am finding it a bit daunting. The notes the lecturer has supplied aren't too helpful. Does anyone know of some decent resources on the web that could help me out? Many Thanks, Pete

can you tell me why so many people are studying about life on Earth ? Is that funnie or something that is very important ? Thanks Regards

Anybody knows a university that does a electronic/comp. engineering course via internet. I'm thinking about working and studying together. I found a school in USA but they offer this course only to USA citizens. Thanks. :wink:

I am very interested in becoming a medical physicist but I have no idea where to look for information.I have Google and Ask Jeeves but most of the hits have nothing to do with it. If anybody knows where I can look for information on medical physics I would appreciate you sharing.Thanks.

A couple of questions...please help to answer =) Assuming i have gotten my degree, and i studied physics, is it possible to further my studies to the Masters' level studying things like black holes, in depth quantum mechanics and relativity; and then join a research team and do research on...

My mind wants to be curious so I have to go along with it. I'm studying chemsitry, specifically, chemical thermodynamics. I want to be a chemical engineer so must go threw this "mental beatdown" and learn all these things. I'm also trying to study the patterns of the Dragon boss in Ninja...

Ok, I am in conflict. Does a bit of coffee actually help studying by increasing alertness or does it just decrease concentration?? I think I'll just use coffee to stay awake this evening and read all night long or something

First of all, my sincere wishes of an Happy Christmas, full of joy, happiness and such feelings that make our life worthfull! I'm studying and researching about Chaos Theory, and currently I'm examining the following iterative equation: Xn+1 = c*(Xn-(Xn^3)/3) I've already managed to...

I have been talking with my academic advisors about doing the Study Abroad program from school and taking classes in Germany next spring or summer semester. Just curious what y'alls thoughts are on studying abroad. I particularly want to hear from those who have actually done studying overseas...

I'm asking because I'm trying to get a feel for this forum.
