AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around selecting an elective for a Master's program in Science, following a Bachelor's in Physics. The options include various subjects such as Digital Electronics, Microprocessors, and Material Science, among others. The individual expresses a particular interest in Material Science but lacks clarity on the subject's specifics. Participants suggest choosing an elective that aligns closely with the focus of the Master's program, emphasizing the importance of relevance to enhance academic and career prospects. Recommendations highlight that if the Master's concentration is in areas like condensed matter physics or astrophysics, corresponding electives like Material Science or Lasers and Laser Applications would be beneficial.

hi all,
right now I'm in dilemma about my admission procedures. I'm required to select an elective for my M.Sc from following ones:
NB.I completed my B.sc (physics)

:confused: :confused: :confused:

1) Digital Electronics
2) Microprocessors
3) Radio Communication and T. V.
4) Industrial Electronics
5) Network Analysis
6) Communication Electronics
7) Physics of Semiconductor Devices
8) Vaccum Technology and Thin Film Physics
9) Material Science
10) Astrophys/cs and Astronomy
11) Lasers and Laser Applications
12) Atmospheric Physics
13) Renewable Energy Sources

which would be the best option, i have an affinity towards Material science. (:biggrin: albeit I'm unware what material science is all about) any suggestions highly appreciated...
eagerly waiting for ur comments folks :)

what are you doing for your M.Sc? It would probably be a good idea to choose an elective that's most related to what your studying.

No, I mean what are you doing for your master's program. For example if you are doing condensed matter physics for your masters it might be a good idea to take material science. Or if your taking astrophysics for your masters it might be a good idea to take lasers and Lasers applications as an elective.
 

Thread 'Where did all the “fundamentals-deepening” master’s programs go?'

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...

Thread 'Applied Math PhD candidate but I hate group theory'

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...
