I met with a REALLY nice professor who is doing theoretical nuclear and particle physics (one of my interests). I am in my first year, but can graduate in three years instead of four because of AP credit (with already having taken AP Physics with Calculus and am currently taking Quantum). So he says he has a project I can work on, relating to Q-Balls and specifically Q-clouds. I mean, I am smart. But right now he has me reading this insane paper he and his masters student worked on and the math and concepts are obviously difficult (Im in multi and diff. eqs. right now). I guess I will mainly be doing computational/numerical analysis for solutions, but if i can't understand the math I am not sure how I can compute solutions. He seems really excited and I am too, I just don't want to let him or myself down. Has anybody had a student in a similar situation that I am in? How did it work out? Any information about what I can expect would be appreciated. He is very patient, but if I just won't understand the concepts it will be a long semester.
Thank you
