    Schools Advice on shopping for Physics Graduate Schools

    Thanks Jedishrfu, I'm also going through my advisor, who I honestly think would be great to do my graduate studies with. But 'in abundance of counselors there is victory.' Thanks Scrumhalf, I appreciate the advice, especially the specific details of how you went about it!

    Question about Legendre elliptic integrals

    Devoured by the Kraken, I'm afraid. Ended up dropping the course, going to spend the summer with Schaum's trying to build a better foundation for the math I need.

    Overcoming Mathematical Challenges in Physics Studies: A Personal Journey

    Some of you may have already seen my posts, for those that haven't, hello! I am currently working on my Bachelors in Physics, and eventually want to get my Masters, and hopefully one day even up to my Doctorate. But first I have to get through my classes. I have a lot of issues with how...

    Question about Legendre elliptic integrals

    Homework Statement [/B] J(a, b, c;y)=∫aydx/√((x-a)(x-b)(x-c)), let a<b<cHomework Equations f(θ, k)=∫0θdx/√(1-k2sin2(x)), k≤1 The Attempt at a Solution This is an example from my study material, and I don't understand the first step they do. Let x=a+(b-a)t, dx=(b-a)dt Wait...what? Why? How...

    Contour integration with a branch cut

    Homework Statement ∫-11 dx/(√(1-x2)(a+bx)) a>b>0 Homework Equations f(z0)=(1/2πi)∫f(z)dz/(z-z0) The Attempt at a Solution I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing. I'm taking Mathematical Methods, and this chapter is making absolutely no sense to me. I understand enough to tell I'm supposed...
