Hello. This is my first post. here it goes...

[PLAIN]http://www.cab.cnea.gov.ar/oferta/galeria/img/balseiro/001balseiro.jpg

Currently I am studying Eng. I am considering to apply for entering the Balseiro Institute to study physics. Here in argentina its the most prestigious institution of science. But I am not really sure about its level and recognition in international circles.
Have you ever heard of it?
Can you tell me something about it? -anything you can tell me is good- Or at least find out something for me?
Is it well recognized?
How is its level compared to any international famous university like MIT, plank institute, or any other?

:biggrin:thank you

It is very well known. There are many graduates at both the "undergraduate" (Master's; the institute only grants degrees equivalent to Master's in other countries) and graduate level (PhD). You can google many examples. Some to mention are: Jorge Pullin, Orlando Auciello, Pablo Zavattieri, and others.
 
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"...
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...
