I'll be entering college this fall and at this point I am undeclared in my studies. Throughout high school I took all the heavy math classes and some high science classes. In high school I realized that I enjoy doing math a lot more than science. Not that I don't enjoy science or anything. It's...
So there's a lot of speculation about which Universities are better for Engineering. Whether to go to the US or to Germany?
I am faced with a similar scenario. I am planning to do my Masters in Engineering. One side says that US education system is better for it is more versatile, and...

Dear fellows,
my undergrad was not in maths, but I have quite a chance of getting into a master's program in pure maths, later this year. Long story, not particularly interesting.
My question is due to the fact that I am quite prepared to the examination (basic real analysis and linear...

Hello everyone,
I'm about to start my honours year in a science degree majoring in nanotechnology. I am pretty confident that I'm on track for first class honours and have had a few academics inviting me to come do a PhD with them once I graduate. However, in my studies I have only completed...
I have a question. Let's say i finish my MS, PhD, the whole package. Then what? What are my prospects?Also, while doing my PhD, do I get to choose what I work on or is it picked out for me from a list. My sister's doing a PhD in Biology, and that's what they do. They choose their doctoral topic...
Is there any research or studies into how to mass produce water to meet our growing needs and to mitigate draughts? I am not asking about conservation or recycling water. Also, do not want to hear about it costs to much, it takes to much energy, etc.
Well, I'm only a high school student in Morocco, but i just want to know if there any suggestions? I'm studying in a high school branch specified for only math and physics studies.
First of all, this is not a single question, but I wasn't sure where I could post it, and it has to do with lots of doubts about differents exercies I've got. Let me explain:
I'm starting a career in mathematics and I have a blog where I'm uploading the exercises I'm supposed to do in each...
I have a question pretty specific towards my situation but I think its an interesting thing to think about anyways.

Hello all,
I'm a guy who's bad at maths. I intended to study something easy - like law, history and the like. But I made a last second decision and chose to study something more useful - applied maths in my case. What I'd like to know, is what math subjects should I improve at (if I don't want...
Hi, I'm wondering if there is such a study field which has to do with optics. meaning I've always wanted to work with stuff that looks into space and brings back images. Is this astronomy? or is there another thing. I'm really confused about everything since for now I'm just going to a community...

I was thinking since alone it's a bit general I could fill my electives with physics 1 and 2 , diff equations, chem, etc and a ton of math. Would that be enough to get me into a grad engineering prog? It is the BS in space studies from APUS.
