Ideas Independent Independent study Study

AI Thread Summary

Independent study projects in physics or programming can be diverse and engaging. One suggestion is to explore Monte Carlo simulations, which are accessible for beginners and widely utilized in physics for modeling complex systems and processes. This approach allows for hands-on experience with statistical methods and computational techniques, making it an ideal project for those interested in both fields. Additionally, creating a web bot could be another interesting programming project, combining coding skills with practical applications. Both options offer valuable learning opportunities and can enhance understanding of key concepts in physics and programming.

I have the option for independent study at school, and I am open to any ideas for projects either pertaining to physics or programming. (I've thought about making a web bot.)

Anything is helpful.

How about a look into Monte Carlo simulations? They're fairly approachable at a beginner level if you have the proper pre-reqs, and are heavily used the physics.

Thread 'Which branch of engineering is more physics heavy?'

I will be entering engineering but i want to do graduate studies in physics after it so im searching for the branch with most physics so it would be abit easier of a transition. Im trying to decide between nuclear engineering or electronics and engineering

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 'What should I do if I found a paper with same result as mine?'

Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation. This article's date received is 2022-11-15...
