AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the decision-making process for a student in Trinidad and Tobago regarding when to leave school to pursue university abroad.

It is suggested that the student should ideally wait until receiving acceptance into a specific university program before making a decision about leaving school. The conversation also touches on the possibility of traveling or working abroad as an alternative to immediate university enrollment.

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.
