AI Thread Summary
Mathematics is essential across all scientific and engineering fields, including nanotechnology, which encompasses various disciplines like chemistry, physics, and electrical engineering. Each discipline approaches nanotechnology differently, with some requiring specialized mathematical frameworks while others may focus more on experimental methods with minimal math involvement. For students in foundational courses related to physics, chemistry, or relevant disciplines, there are no specific math courses required at the early stages of study.

Hello,
I'm a student at UIUC and am wondering what sort of math subjects (or courses if you happen to go here) would be relevant to the field of nanotechnology.
Thanks!

You need mathematics in all fields of science and engineering, a vague answer to a vague question.

Nano-whatever is typically a buzzword, as you could be talking about chemistry, physics or electrical engineering, and each of those disciplines has a different approach to the Nano-stuff, some sub-fields might require specialized mathematical frameworks while others can be purely experimental with little or no mathematics.In terms of courses, you don't need any special courses at the basic phase of your study (assuming you are doing a physics, chemistry or some relevant discipline)
 
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...
After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
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...
