Need study advice before starting a Masters program in Nuclear Engineering

AI Thread Summary
Starting a master's in nuclear engineering after a six-year gap requires a solid review of relevant math and physics topics. Key areas to focus on include advanced calculus, differential equations, and linear algebra, as well as classical mechanics and thermodynamics. Understanding the specific syllabus of the nuclear engineering program can help identify additional subjects that may need review. Engaging with current students or faculty can provide insights into essential topics and resources. Preparing adequately will enhance readiness for the upcoming program.

Hey everyone,

I’m starting my masters in nuclear engineering in about 6 months. The thing is I graduated six years ago, so I’m a bit rusty(more than a bit actually), so I’d appreciate any advice on which math and physics topics I should review to be ready for the program.

Thread 'My Grade 11 Math mark is eating me alive. What do I do?'

I'm going to make this one quick since I have little time. Background: Throughout my life I have always done good in Math. I almost always received 90%+, and received easily upwards of 95% when I took normal-level HS Math courses. When I took Grade 9 "De-Streamed" Math (All students must take "De-Streamed" in Canada), I initially had 98% until I got very sick and my mark had dropped to 95%. The Physics teachers and Math teachers talked about me as if I were some sort of genius. Then, an...

Thread 'What are the best A-Level options for someone wanting to do Physics?'

Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...
