AI Thread Summary
Students typically take the General and Physics GREs during the semester before their final year, especially if they plan to apply for graduate programs starting in the fall. For example, those aiming for a Fall 2008 start would generally take the exams in November or December 2007, as this is often the latest acceptable timeframe. It’s also recommended to consult with an academic advisor for personalized guidance on timing and preparation.

talk to your advisor also

Nearly everything seems to be research-adjacent: string theory, quantum field theory, quantum optics, cosmology, soft matter physics, black hole radiation, etc. What I don’t see are the kinds of “second-pass fundamentals” I was hoping for, things like...

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.

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...
