Yep, it is UCLA's program! It's actually a couple of decades old apparently. Well basically, you pretty much have almost the same lower div prereqs as physics, math, chem, life science and CS majors(lower div programming, o chem, upper div linear algebra, a bit of EE, basically all the classes...
I was wondering what are the general opinions on the field? I am a freshman physics major planning to switch to this major. I can basically pursue an emphasis on neurosystems, CS, molecular biology or bioinformatics. If I do end up majoring in CSB, I will probably double major with math or...
Ah no worries, found out how to solve it! I expressed the x coordinate as f(y,z)=2. Then integrated this function with respect to y and z, with the bounds I specified. Thanks!
Homework Statement
Find the volume of the region enclosed by z = 1 - y^2 and z = y^2 - 1 for x lying between 0 and 2 inclusive.
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I know that the y bounds are from -1 to 1, where the parabolas meet. x bounds are from 0 to 2. So would...
I probably wouldn't lose time, would just be set back a bit in terms of units, which I can make up during a summer session. It's just that I know messing up my grades would mess up my mind even more(as shallow as that may seem), and I don't want to return in a worse state than before. So would...
Unfortunately, I don't think CC is the right option for me. I thought seriously about switching out to a CC and then hopefully to Berkeley after two years or something like that...but then decided the switch may not have been worth it. Also, I am vaguely considering a career in academia, so...
I have no idea what I want to major in, no idea what my future career options are, no idea of what my strengths are. I don't plan to leave permanently, just take the rest of the quarter and first 6 weeks of summer off to clear my head. So am I right when I assume that grad school/employers look...
The problem is, I am on the quarter system and I don't have any breaks. I need to withdraw or trudge through either way, but I need to decide soon because my state isn't healthy(I really am unable to relax. I've been doing yoga for years, but it is impossible to clear my mind). Is it unwise to...
I am currently a freshman in a top 20 school. I am midway through my last term of the first year. I am depressed, far away from home, and my grades are falling(since the last term's finals). I am considering withdrawing for the term just to regain my peace of mind and life. I will probably be...
Homework Statement
A resistor, inductor, capacitor are connected in series to an AC source. The AC source is operating at the resonance freq. Which are true?
1.The current is in phase with the driving voltage.
2.The peak voltage across the capacitor is greater than the peak...
So my method of studying math/physics isn't actually a good idea? Because I want to understand it thoroughly, I only do this in the interest of time...
Thank you for your replies everyone. Choppy, I do agree with your first point. I came from a very competitive country during high school and I do think that I clung on to that inkling of hope that I could pull off everything with a last minute push. And I do think that after I got my grades for...
So I am currently a physics major at a large US university.
My grades last quarter: A C in multivariable calc, B- in Integration and infinite series, B in physics.
It's not that I didn't understand what was going on. MV Calc was actually my favorite class, but I panicked before the test. I...
What is the best possible way to use the summer after freshman year? I have these options currently:
1) Enroll in a summer session at my university.
2) Enroll in a summer session at a different university.(Is this worth it?)
3) Apply for a summer REU
For reference, I am a physics major...
