SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers around students sharing their course schedules for Fall 2010, highlighting a diverse range of subjects in physics, mathematics, and engineering. Key courses mentioned include Modern Physics, Quantum Mechanics, Differential Equations, and various labs such as Physics Advanced Lab and General Chemistry Lab. Many participants express excitement about their upcoming research opportunities, particularly in areas like wavelet transforms and nano-photonics. The discussion reflects the rigorous academic environment and the challenges faced by students in STEM fields.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of core physics concepts, particularly in Modern Physics and Quantum Mechanics.
  • Familiarity with advanced mathematics, including Differential Equations and Multivariable Calculus.
  • Basic knowledge of laboratory procedures and experimental design in physics and chemistry.
  • Experience with programming languages, particularly C++, for computational projects.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "Quantum Mechanics I" and its applications in modern physics.
  • Explore "Differential Equations" and their role in modeling physical systems.
  • Learn about "Wavelet Transforms" and their significance in data analysis and signal processing.
  • Investigate "Nano-photonics" and its impact on technology and materials science.
USEFUL FOR

Students in physics, mathematics, and engineering disciplines, as well as educators and academic advisors looking to understand course offerings and student experiences in rigorous STEM programs.

Starting my first semester at Cal Poly SLO after transferring from San Diego City College:

Math 202: Orientation to Mathematics Major

Math 248: Methods of Proof

Math 336: Combinatorial Mathematics

Math 370: Putnam Exam Seminar

Math 244: Linear Analysis 1
 
  • #185
Spacecraft Dynamics and Control
Hypersonic Flow
Boundary Layer Stability and Transition

2 weeks in and it is already brutal...
 
  • #186
Finally decided on my masters. I'm starting Nuclear physics next week!

Mathematical methods in physics I
Statistical mechanics at equilibrium
Ionizing radiation and artificial radioactivity
Advanced experimental methods in physics (visits at CERN and other institutes)
Symmetries in quantum mechanics (Sakurai!)
Project physics (two projects this semester, one big project next semester)
 
  • #187
In order of difficulty:

Logic (In the philosophy department)
Algebra I (Introduction to Algebra)
Complex Analysis I (Introduction to Complex Analysis)
Real Variables I (Graduate Real Analysis)
Differential Geometry I (Graduate course)

If only I could take another class without going over the credit limit...
