[QUOTE="ZapperZ, post: 6062854, member: 6230"] The terms "pure physics" and "applied physics" are [B]not[/B] standard terminologies. They have vague meanings, depending on context and institutions. So if you are referring to your school's program on pure and applied physics, then you must indicate what they are and their differences. Otherwise, we will be using those terms according to our reference frame, which may not necessary match with yours. You should also indicate where you are, and where you are going to school. It gives a bit more clarity and context. You should also consult your academic advisor. He/she should know even more what applied and pure physics are at your school, and which program will be more suitable for you based on what you intend to do (shouldn't you have this type of conversation already?). You should at least get some idea on how many people from your school who went on to do astronomy/astrophysics, and which path they took. Zz. [/QUOTE]
