Hi, does anyone know of books, magazines, websites, anything that introduces controversial topics, and then discusses two or more points of view with equal regard? I'm looking forward to expanding my knowledge on both sides of any sort of political, social, or moral issue. If you have...

Hello everyone, I'm supposed to start my PhD in Biophysics. and I just need help and suggestions about what are the hot topics and issues in Biophysics. I don't want to do something, and end up after 10 years alone in my desk and am the only one in the world doing it. So, can anyone...

Here is the link to my review topics for exam 1. http://math.uh.edu/~bgb/Courses/Math4377/Math4377-Ex1-Topics.pdf 1.2 Does the solution set to a linear system change under elementary row operations? The solution set does not change under elementary row operations. What are independent/free...

I am a second year math/biology major, and I constantly see references to sinh, cosh, etc. or "hypergeometric functions." For instance, I was on the Wolfram Mathematica Online Integrator, and out of curiosity I asked it to integrate sec(x), which lead to the answer 2tanh^{-1}(tan\frac{x}{2})+c...

Hi everyone, Ive just joined this website today so I'm new to this forum stuff! Anyway, I'm in my 4th year at University studying Physics, and this year I am to take a class called Research Skills. In this class we are to come up with some ideas about possible inventions/ideas etc and...

What are the harder topics in an calc based intro to probability class? I'm taking it in 3 weeks so I have time to prep. Here's the course layout:http://www.math.ucla.edu/ugrad/courses/math170ab/170Aoutline.shtml

I was wondering if someone could just tell me whether or not Most of intro and all of advanced Physics is primarily built upon Calculus and any other advanced Math topics. I know that high school physics usually teaches physics from a non-calculus point of view but I am specifically referring to...

This forum has led me to read a lot of Physics and Math, but I would like to read some exciting things about the going ons in Biochemistry. Would anyone mind helping me?

I need to come up with a topic to present in one of my classes but I'm having a hard time coming up with something. I thought about doing a presentation on video security or how a cable box is securing the incoming video but someone else is doing it. I thought about maybe doing it on some type...

I just found this forum and it looks great! I'm an undergrad Physics/applied math at Western Washington University in Bellingham, WA. I'm wondering if anyone has ever seen a kind of family-tree-type-deal of math topics. I have this problem with trying to read wikipedia articles and...

The courses called "Introductory Linear Algebra & Differential Equations" are potentially diluted too much in order to form into a one-semester course; the one which often follows the third semester of Calculus. This becomes a terminal Math course for students who will usually not go further...

1. Question end an explanation of it: Which modern topics that are the result of modern physics discovery would you like to see in the classroom? Current curriculum is mostly ancient physics and explains ancient discoveries. Those are essential for understanding the basics of physics, but they...

I have the second printing of the first edition of Herstein's 'Topics in Algebra', published 1964. On page 58 near the middle of the page there is a paragraph that begins: Let G be a cyclic group ... The author writes \phi:a^i \rightarrow a^{2i} and later x^{-1}a^ix = \phi(a)^i =...

Homework Statement For my physics presentation, I need to choose viable and researchable topics. The teacher mentioned that specificity is key; for example, instead of doing the broad topic of sport of football, we should instead do the topic of a how the ball travels. So far, I've acquired 7...

hello guys, this is my first post here.. i am a engineering physics undergraduate. however i hv more interest in theoretical physics and i want to hv further study in theoretical physics. The subjects taught in my programme is like applied physics which do not hv so much theory. I think...

Hey. I'm teaching (trying to) myself calculus before i go to college. The book i got from my trigonometry seems pretty repetitive, but I was wondering which topics i need to learn. So far, I've learned limits, derivatives, applications of derivatives (I wasted about a month on the chapter...

QUESTION:Why do all forum topics cause online QUESTION: [INDENT][I]Why do all forum topics cause online arguments?

String theory seems to be an over popularised topic with many talented people working on it already. How tough is it these days to publish in this field (on the mathematics/theory side rather than applying string theory to experiments or what not).

I need a book on advanced information theory. It should be more towards computers and communication than theoritical physics. It would also be great if some one could suggest books on probability, optimization, curve fitting and modelling. So, mathematicians here, tell me your favourites.

in one of the previous topics, it was suggested that if one carries a mirror and travels at a speed of 0.99c, he will still see his own reflection in the mirror because the theory of special relativity states that the speed of light is constant in all inertial frames. However, what if i change...

Hi, I'm currently selecting my 4th year undergrad thesis design (its all technical/theoretical no hands on work). A couple of the topics given strike my fancy, but I'm particularly interested in Nuclear and Particle Physics of which they're are few topics given for us to choose from. We are...

Hi there I've heard from various applied mathematicians that the D.E. that models harmonic motion is one of the most important in physics...apparently it appears in nearly every conceivable field, from quantum mechanics to cosmology (something to do with modelling the cosmic microwave...

Hi, I will be starting my third year as an engineering science major at UCSD. Fall quarter starts in a few months so I need to know my course electives so I can take necessary preqrequisites. I would like to know what areas in applied mechanics/mechanical engineering/engineering science is...

ok, so in english, i can write really solid analytical essays on books and such. however, i have a really tough time writing and developing ideas on profound topics. For example, a while ago we had to write a paper on "the meaning of life." I just found it hard to develop ideas on it. I had...

Hi all! Could anyone tell me, a final year student in mechanical engineering preparing for his final year project, what the hot reserach topics in heat transfer are?

First, is this the right area to post topics on combinatorics? It seemed better than "General Math" to me, but I'm not quite sure this is right either. OK, my question is a general one. I've been trying to calculate some things recently, and it strikes me that what I'm doing is essentially...

I am looking for controversial subjects in physics, and possibly other sciences including math. There is a paper due at the end of my semester of english/composition and I must write on any controversial subject (so long as two sides to the issue exist, which is not very specific). ie (iraq war...

To allow easier access to formulae we commonly refer to within various topics and as a time saver when wanting to generate them in LaTex for discussions, I propose this thread as a convenient place to store useful formulae (to copy and paste as appropriate within threads).
