Can anyone help me with a website that lists bioinformatic graduate programs in the U.S.? Thanks in advance.

OK, I have developed a theory and I wish to test it before I begin making a mock model of my experiment. In order to do this, I need a robust program, and I am hoping somebody has an idea of what programs I can use! Basically the program must be able to simulate earth. At the same time i need...

I was wondering if someone could give me a top ten of astrophysics programs (or less, if you are not familiar with 10). Here's my current list, in no particular order, based on my limited research: 1. UCB 2. UCSB 3. Cal Tech 4. University of Chicago 5. University of Arizona 6. UCSC 7...

Hi! I'm new to physicsforums.com and I was just wondering if anyone could give me some advice regarding a problem I've been having. I'll be going to college soon to pursue a degree in an engineering field, and I am having trouble pinning down the major that is best for me. For a long time now...

ucla accepted me as an apply math/science major. I might change my major when i get into the university next fall. I am interest about the science program they have to offer there. Are there many hot chicks?

I graduate next year with a degree in mathematics(emphasis on pure math) and I will be applying to a few math PHD programs sometime later this year. I want to study pure mathematics(not applied). Also I'm in the states and plan to stay in the states for graduate school. I spoke with my advisor...

Everyone has his own academic career course, but if you're planning on getting your Master's as a terminal degree, there is a lesson I learned the hard way: make sure the programs you're applying to actually exist. And I'm not joking. Two years ago, I applied to Rice University's applied...

In general, places like MIT or Caltech or Stanford, and other places that aren't as "good"(yah I know good's relative and subjective, hence the quotes)I was talking to a guy who had a 3.9 GPA, research experience, and from my own personal knowledge really good at math, and he didn't even get a...

Do you use calculator programs for calculus?? If so what is good?

Is it possible for someone to start a graduate degree in department_1 and switch to other department_2 if doing a dual degree? Is it something practiced or possible... generally? My case is that I have greater chances being admitted into program_2 (my REAL interest, but VERY competitive at...

my computer is wicked freaking slow and it crashes a lot too. I've run virus scans and defragmented and i did a disk clean up. lately I'm getting pretty familiar with task manager cause I'm always closing programs i don't need because other programs are slow. I'm always having really high cpu...
