Okay so I'm taking AP Physics B at my high school this year (i'm a senior) and I really enjoy it and I do well on all of the tests so far (I do usually get 1 or 2 problems wrong tho...my average is between 80 and 90 percent on tests). I really like Physics and all of the theories and stuff but...

Im thinking about possibly taking biochemistry at university but I am not sure if I need to take physics as well. The program doesn't require u to take it, just biology and chemistry but is it best to take physics as well? It is a bachelors degree in biochemistry.

I was looking at this school, since it's relatively close and has a top-notch physics program (or so I understand). Is that seriously worth 50k USD a year? How the hell do I go from paying 8k a year to 50k? And can I get accepted (into the undergrad program) with a 3.66 physics GPA, 3.5...

Homework Statement This question is for a lab write up. We prepared a 0.1 M citrate buffer with pH 4.0, we then diluted our buffer with deionized water 20 fold and then 50 fold. The subsequent changes in pH are as follows, 20 fold pH = 4.10 50 fold pH = 4.14 This confuses me because I have...

algebra and basic calculus skills in computation? We haven't really used any heavy differentiation or integration, save basic differentiation or whatever.
