Hello all I would like to study math in college in the hopes of someday becoming a mathematician. I'm going to be a senior in high school with about a 3.4 GPA (taking IB classes). Not great, I know. I self-studied Calculus BC (being in the AB class) and got a 5 on the exam. I also got 5s in...

In looking at the Martian hemispheric dichotomy (significant differences in the Martian crust over a large radius) simulations suggest that Mars was hit by something like a 1000 to 1700 mile wide asteroid about 4 billion years ago. http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?id=giant-asteroid-flattened...

Physics is the subject of the career I wish to pursue. Though, I have asperger's which causes many social problems for me. I took 1 course in college to see if I can handle the socialization. My completion was rewarded with an A as my grade. The social aspects were extremely difficult. I am...

I will be graduating soon with a BSc as a physics major. I have done well in my physics program, but over the past couple years I have been continually losing interest in my physics studies. I do not want to do further studies in a physics program at graduate school. I was wondering if anyone...

For each part of this question, consider a vehicle that is traveling at a speed of 30m/s and then stops as described. a) The vehicle stops under normal braking conditions over 100 metres. b) The vehicle stops due to a collision when there are ineffective crumple zones (e.g. the vehicle is a...

Once you earn you BS in physics at the undergraduate level and you decide that you want to become a physicist, do most physics majors apply to grad school first and then attempt to pursue in earn a pHd in their field of interests or do most physics bachelors directly apply for a pHd and...

Do you guys consider the "research" for consciousness after death 100% bogus? http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/Story?id=98447&page=1 http://www.wired.com/medtech/health/news/2002/10/55826 http://www.iands.org/research/important_studies/dr._pim_van_lommel_m.d._continuity_of_consciousness.html

I feel that I've lost my peace! I Can't be calm and relax like the past, so that I can't concentrate on my studies! It's a terrible feeling. I guess I should find the reason of this distraction and stress and then do something about it. But I just can't find a single reason to concentrate on...

Hi there, I study undergrad physics in greece and as most greek students,first 2 years,I would just read my lessons in the examing periods a bit (7/20 lessons passed).Truth is,I've rarely studied in my life up to now,math and physics were always my favorite lessons and I didn't have to make...

Hi, I often try to expand my knowledge studying on my own. So most of my learning is on my own. I wish now to start studying Computer Science, but honestly, I haven't the slightest idea where to begin. I downloaded the free book Concrete Abstractions by Max Hailperin, Barbara Kaiser, and Karl...

This sounds like a college student wet dream. A physicist has been appointed as a http://media.www.lawrentian.com/media/storage/paper409/news/2007/04/01/Erotica/Marler.To.Become.First.Beer.Studies.Fellow-2828558.shtml" . The news article is actually pretty hilarious! Now that might explain...

I would like some opinions/advice regarding grad school. I have just been accepted into the grad program, and I am trying to figure out what would be a useful directon to take my studies. Since Id be doing my MS at the same school I earned my BS, I will not have to repeat all those 400/500 split...

Greetings.Let me tell you a little bit of my story When I started school a year and a half ago I was pretty sure that I wanted to become an engineer. I really like the concept of the computer as a the ultimate comunication and calculation tool, and I've always have an interest in...

First Principles Studies?? Hi, i am lookin for every paper that talks about first principles studies of GaP, or GaN, or GaPN, if somebody has something related, please send it to me. Thanks. :biggrin:

Greetings. I am new here. My studies are Computer Science and Mathematics. Although I consider myself a computer scienctist, I do not consider myself a mathematian yet. I am attempting to earn that title. I have an extremely large interest in Physics.:bugeye:

Hey everybody, i am an undergraduate student of Civil Engineering. I'll be graduating in August 2007, hopefully. I am currently looking for Universities in Spain, USA and Canada for my graduate studies. I'll be focusing on Structural Engineering and Geomechanics. So far my list of...

I'm looking for information on General Studies at A-Level or references to sites with information (can't seem to find much). What does it involve? Does it include any (or much) maths? If so, at what level? Is it a well-respected qualification?

Hi All! I graduated in physics at 2005 in Hungary, Europe. My research field was Density Functional Theory, I was working on a DFT computational software. I also did some basic researches in Quantum Computation. Unfortunately, in Hungary these things are nat really needed, so I could not --...

Hi everyone, I've currently graduated from a good school on the west coast with a double major in chemistry and physics. I'm taking a few years off to help out with the family then it's right back into the books (which I am keeping up with). I'm going to graduate school for physics and...

I'm about to complete my Bachelor of Science in Physics and am interested in doing graduate studies in Canada. Any Canadian universities you can recommend for theoretical physics, in particular HEP and QG?

New to the forums. Im going to graduate in CompSci at the end of next spring, and I have been thinking about graduate studies. I have always had an awesome interest in physics, and I am going to tackle the Feynman lectures this summer. I was wondering is if anyone knows whether its possible...

Im interested in the fields of AI and robotics. Can anyone give me some guidance on the choice of universities for my masters? Thanks in advance!

This might seem to be a silly question. But is it possible to pursue a grudate degree in electrical engineering after I complete a bachelor's degree in physics? And if it's possible, do I need higher GPA than a person with bachelor's degree in engineering to get in? Thank you very much.

Can anybody enlighten me with some good weblinks on Applications of Nuclear Physics studies.

Is there anyone here studying chaos in graduate school? I have read a little on the subject and find it interesting. I cannot however, find many graduate schools offering studies in this field. (I know of only two, University of Maryland and Cornell) Also, what kind of real world applications...

The New York Times published this article today, raising a controversial question: Should NIH be funding such studies? In the interest of open-mindedness, some say that such studies should be funded. If the results are positive, what should the conclusion be? Worse, if the results are...

Looks like my abstracts will be deleted even though they are abstracts of clinical studies and not copyrighted articles. Its called educational material and they all come from a governmental source. Each study has the author and where the study was performed, so the source of the article and the...

Hello, I was reading a thread that was locked, so I wasn't able to respond, but I wanted to present some information on racial differences. I do not wish to debate the issue since I do not have the time, but I wanted to put this information out there for everyone who may wish to have it...

I just wanted to thank everybody that has helped me so far and will in the future. I know that I am new to this forum, but I want you to know how completely excited I am to have found a resource for help. The class I am taking is a lab format, in which we must essentially work on our own from...

Consciousness Studies: Priority Misdirected and Conclusions Fated? Consciousness seems to be at the heart of subjectivity. If so, then how can it be sufficiently externalized to observe in order to empirically "prove" what it is? The attempts to define consciousness in terms of how it...

Magnetism and magnetic force are typically explained by the resultant effect on moving charges. Is anyone aware of any reseach, studies or literature that quantifies the interactive forces between two or more magnetic objects without utilizing the effect on moving charges to explain interactive...

This thread could equally well be in Biology, but since genetics and hereditability have figured so prominently in the various IQ threads in this sub-forum, I feel it would a good place, and perhaps a useful resource. L. Luca Cavalli-Sforza, Paolo Menozzi, and Alberto Piazza published the...
