AI Thread Summary
Joining a science or math club at a junior college can enhance academic experience, but students often wonder about meeting schedules and participation. Clubs typically meet during the semester, and some may hold events on weekends, but this varies by club. Many students choose to join multiple clubs, although it's common for some to not participate in any. Ultimately, prospective members are encouraged to directly inquire with the clubs of interest to understand their specific meeting times and commitments.

Deciding whether or not to join a science / math club ? (This is in regards to at a juinior college)

Do academic clubs meet between semesters or just during the semester? Is a club something that will meet on the weekends also?
Do student's usually join more than one club, or is it just one?

In my experience, students usually join zero clubs at junior college. As for meeting hours, that will depend on the club. There is no universal standard. Instead of asking us, why not ask the clubs you're thinking of joining?
 
I’ve been looking through the curricula of several European theoretical/mathematical physics MSc programs (ETH, Oxford, Cambridge, LMU, ENS Paris, etc), and I’m struck by how little emphasis they place on advanced fundamental courses. 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...
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...
