i guess a lot of physics could be considered applied math, though the more you know about how nature works, including how more abstract subjects in math work, probably the better will be your overall understanding.
so there are problems of the type you have in a physics textbook - these are...
I am currently active duty military and an aspiring physicist(probably theoretical but I haven't decided). I'm planning to take college classes online but there aren't any accredited physics degree programs that are online (at least that I found). The next best thing that I can find are 2...
So I have a MS in Stats and a BS in Applied Math. For various reasons not related to raw ability, my GPA in Stats turned out to not be so good( 3.4) but my math GPA from undergrad is excellent ( 3.8). Should I even attempt continuing on in Stats or can I start over with a fresh plate in Applied...
Howdy everyone. I am a transfer student (starting in January) to a small religious private university. This university is very strict (in general and academically) and they typically do not allow double majors (unless under 140 semester units) and they also make it VERY hard to change your...
