AI Thread Summary
A high school sophomore is considering a $1,500 S.T.E.M. program offered by a local college for the summer but is unsure about the cost and their own abilities in the subject. They express concerns about not feeling strong enough in math, despite an interest in pursuing a career in S.T.E.M. The program includes hands-on work and requires attending seven classes daily, including robotics. There is a discussion about the potential for financial aid or scholarships to help with the cost, and a request for more information about the program's structure. The consensus suggests that even students who feel less confident in their skills can benefit from such enrichment opportunities.

I'm going to be a sophomore in high school. Next summer I'm thinking about joining a S.T.E.M program it's 1,500 dollars. I don't know what to do. I could qualify for financal aid and/or a scholarship. I don't feel like a strong enough in those subjects.

$1500 is pretty steep. Is this program offered by a school, or a private organization? Can you give us a bit more information about it?

If you feel you aren't strong enough but you have an interest in a STEM career, then I bet you're exactly the kind of student who should take an enrichment class.

The program is offered by a college in my area. I don't think I'm strong enough in math, but I look forward to a job in the S.T.E.M subjects. At the college I have to stay the whole summer with other teenagers. We do hands on work. We have to go to 7 classes a day. Robotics is one I know for sure.
 
Do you have a program outline you can link/post?
 

Thread 'Self Learning Math/Physics'

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...

Thread 'Applied Math PhD candidate but I hate group theory'

TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
