Good Day Everybody, I would like to know what physics (topics) to study to become a sucessful pilot

I'll be taking calc III, diff. eq. and linear algebra this semester and I want to learn 6-10 additional topics so I can purchase some books to read during the semester. What topics would be most useful to physics? I think differential geometry would be one. PDE's and analysis are another.

What topics are typically covered in a 300 level modern physics class?

I would like to ask what topics one should study before studying cosmology. I have begun self-learning physics since last summer, and my goal is to build a foundation solid enough to learn cosmology in great depth. I seem to be just touching on different topics: relativity, the uncertainty...

There are a lot of so called black magic in this. Some seems to pan out, some I don't understand. 1) I know from personal experience that large cable like monster cable for speakers work. Me and my wife did an experiment. I used some Monster Cable like cables and listen to the sound with...

I'm taking Modern Physics in the spring semester (starts Jan 10). It's been over 5 years since I took Mechanics and EM. Which topics from these courses should I review in preparation for Modern Physics? I plan to review everything, however this will take me longer than the time available before...

What calc 3 topics will I need to learn before taking ODE? I'm going to be taking both at the same time and I want to know if there is stuff I need to be familiar with before starting. The class is using Fund of Differential Equations & BVP by Nagle (5th ed) and I have no syllabus yet.

Hey guys, I am from a Canadian university and have just recently took the GRE (1480 for verbal+quant). I am thinking of applying for graduate studies in the United States, preferably tier 1 schools such as Princeton, MIT etc.. However, after doing some online research it seems that schools...

anyone know if there exists a solution manual to topics in algebra? thanks

I've done some searching on this forum and elsewhere and from what I can tell, the book Introduction to Modern Astrophysics by Carroll and Ostlie is an excellent place to begin learning about the subject. I believe the introduction to the book states that anyone with a calculus based first-year...

A quick explanation for my thread - I've been a physics teacher for 10 years, but I've always wanted to learn more about stars and space. So I took two years off to study for an MSc. in Astrophysics. I'm writing my thesis on something pretty non-standard for astro nerds: I'm trying to write a...

Hi , what are the main astrophysical research topics these days , binary pulsars , black holes ? do you have any propositions ?? :)

Most Pertinent Topics; Calc 2 --> 3 Heyo, Posted here a while back looking for books, as I was planning to study over spring and summer before I registered at a CC. Now it's time to pick my classes for my first semester. So, I was wondering which topics in calc II I should be reviewing...

Are there any people actively doing research in MHD topics these days? It seems like an interesting field, but all the information I've come across only dates as recent as the early 1990's. What happened? :confused:

I am taking calculus 1 right now and we have been doing a lot of application problems. Like related rates and finding and relating maximum values. I don't have any specific question I was just wanting to maybe have an open forum where we could discuss tips in understanding math->language a...

Hi, I was wondering what does a standard introductory, algebra-based course cover first, rotational motion/torque or energy and conservation? Thanks

Homework Statement Hi, I was wondering what does a standard introductory, algebra-based Physics course cover first, rotational motion/torque or energy and conservation? This is the time period right after Newton's Laws. What usually comes next? Circular/Rotational Material or Energy? Thanks...

EE Research Topics? (Undegraduate) Hello all! I've just recently applied for undergraduate student research award, and if I do end up winning I will have to discuss with one or several professors my interests and the possibilities of them having a spot for me within one of their labs. The...

this year I finished calculus BC, which is the equivalent of calc 1 and 2. I feel as though I've completely mastered the material and I'm ready to start moving on before I enter university next year. The next math classes I'd be taking would be differential equations, calc 3 (multivariable...

Hope this is in the right place. I'm 13 years old and I would like to self-study physics. I've study most of calculus and some differential equations and linear algebra. But due to my eagerness and perhaps lack of guidance I have many gaps in my foundations. As I have little access to books...

I am still far too much of a newbie to be able to intelligently speak on any of the items listed in this website, but it all seems very interesting. Will anyone comment on the veracity of this article, and if it's really as "cutting edge" as they make it sound? I find item #3 particularly...

Hello all, I am currently taking a technical writing course as part of my Mechanical Engineering degree. I am also going to be shifting into my MS curriculum next semester as part of a combined BS/MS program. I was hoping to make my current writing assignment useful to my future studies...

I need topics or any research area where i can illustrate something related to vibrations.Need your help guys. I can also do the analysis of any project done before. If anybody has any stuff for me that will be really helpful and i will really appreciate it. Thanks

Hi everyone. I wasn't really sure where to put this thread so I stuck it here, which seems the closest fit. Anyway I've been thinking about this for too long: what characterises the unit ball of a norm? Let's be specific: consider a finite-dimensional vector space, which may as well be...

I'm afraid the template for homework help doesn't quite apply here since my problem is the lack of a problem in itself. I'm an International Baccalaureate student, and I've decided to do a research topic (about 4000 words) on physics. I need help with this. I'm looking for suggestions for...
