AI Thread Summary
There is a strong interest in finding online volunteering opportunities related to engineering, math, science, and entrepreneurship. Open-source software projects are highlighted as a potential area for contribution. While many science volunteering options typically require in-person involvement, opportunities exist at local science museums and schools, such as organizing science days or fairs. Engaging with local libraries for book recommendations is also suggested. Networking and reaching out to local organizations or political officials for advisory roles can provide additional avenues for volunteering, although some qualifications may be necessary.

Hi

Is anyone aware of some interesting engineering/math/science or venture capital/entrepreneurship type volunteering organizations? I'm looking into volunteering online if I can.

Thanks

In what way would you like to help out? You should check out opensource-software, they probably will need people to help them out.
 
There's nearly infinite opportunities for science volunteering, but the majority is all face-to-face contact. Volunteer at your local science/natural history museum. Volunteer at the local high school/junior high/elementary school to put on 'science days', or organize a science fair. Heck, ask the library if they need someone to weed-out their stock and recommend new additions.

Ask around- put yourself out there.

You may be able to hook up with a political official in an advisory capability, but that will require you to have some "bona fides".
 
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...
