Hey PF, So, I'm a sophomore math student, looking to apply for REUs for my first time. So I've read a few things here and there, and it seems like a lot of people apply to about 8 programs, yet only get accepted into 2 or 3. So, when I was looking at the REU programs in NSF, I was expecting...

Hi there. I've been trying to incorporate Proxies into a program I am currently making. It's basically a c++ Chat bot that will load proxies from a list and connect from them into a chat, but I'm having a bit of trouble. I've found a SOCKS 5 Wrapper, but I'm having trouble with that as...

Hi, I am a first year PHD student in physics at a top ten university. I finished my undergraduate degree at a Liberal Arts college (hence, my degree was a Bachelors of the Arts) in math and physics. I didn't do too poorly during my first semester (I got a B average), but I decided that I want...

I just got of the phone with departement and I have heard good things about the program. Pros I may not need to retake math courses I already took in engineering. The program is only one year. 4 months school, 4 months internship and 4 months school. Department has 100% sucess rate of finding...

Question: A program consists of two modules. The number of errors X in the first module and the number of errors in the second module have the joint distribution: P(0,0) = P(0,1) = P(1,0) = 0.20 P(1,1) = P(1,2) = P(1,3) = 0.10 P(0,2) = P(0,3) = 0.05 Find i) the marginal distribution...

I am almost done with applying to graduate schools in mathematics. My new question now is whether to apply my undergraduate institution's graduate program. First of all, all the professors that I have talked to told me that I should go somewhere else for graduate school. And I strongly agree...

I can graduate a semester early or stay and take some grad classes. In the later scenario I want to transfer them to a PHD program (in statistics). However some PHD programs say transfer credits must be taken with graduate status; or they don't accept transfer credits period. In that case...

I live in Georgia and it would be cheaper for me to go there. I can't find much information from searches, so I wonder if there is anyone here in the GT physics program. I know a lot about the engineering side and heard that engineering majors aim for a C in their courses and that it is...

I don't know exactly how to explain this, but I'll try my best: Let's say I have a set of points (P1, P2, P3...Pn), that are the vertexes of a n-sided polygon. As would be expected, the polygon is drawn simply by connecting the points in order (P1 to P2, P2 to P3, Pn to P1). This is the...

I'm in my 3rd yr at a top school. I'm deciding on whether to apply for the 5 yr BS/MS program. On one hand, it's a simple internal application and i'd be almost guaranteed into a very reputable masters program. On the other hand, i still plan to apply to other PHD programs in my 4th yr. If...

Hello, I am considering getting a PhD in physics from a lower ranking university (not really bad though). I think it is ranked about 50th in physics by USNews. Is there any chance of breaking into a career in academia? I would like to teach physics at a small liberal arts college...

Does anyone remember a program (or know of something similar!) which, given a compilation of data, would search for equations which best fit the data? The one I'm thinking of came out ~ a year ago. It was a Windows-only program but it worked fine under wine. Unfortunately my time spent on...

I know several languages (C++, Python, FORTRAN, etc..), but most of the programming I have done never has had any real/physical interaction with hardware. I've never used micro-controllers, and would like to start tinkering around in the robotics field. Can anyone suggest any good books to...
