    What can I do to make my physics bachelor more marketable?

    Thanks for the replies. Can you give an example of such courses/certifications that would look good on a resume? I've been looking around, but haven't found anything so far. I've picked up some C++, but not enough to be useful in a work environment. I know there are plenty of programming...

    What can I do to make my physics bachelor more marketable?

    When I chose physics as my major a few years ago I really did not think about the fact I'd have to find a job someday, I just wanted to study something interesting. Well, here I am now, wishing I'd gone with engineering or something instead. Since I'm also burned out on college in general, I'll...

    Multiplicity of particles on a lattice

    Homework Statement A particle can exist in three microstates, with energies E0 < E1 < E2. Consider N >> 1 such particles, fixed on a lattice. There are now n0 particles with energy E0, n1 particles with energy E1 and n2 = N - n0 - n1 particles with energy E2. We have that n_j >> 1 for j = 0...

    Grand Canonical Partition Function and Adsorption Statistics

    Homework Statement Consider a two dimensional surface on a three dimensional crystal. This surface has M positions that can adsorb particles, each of which can bind one particle only and an adsorption does not affect the adsorption on nearby sites. An adsorbed particle has energy ε and an...

    Subtracting numbers in two different txt files

    I have two .txt files with a bunch of numbers in them, below each other, like this: File 1: 3 4 5 File 2: 1 2 1 Now I want to subtract the numbers in file 2 from the numbers in file 1 and get the results in a new .txt file: File 3: 2 2 4 Very simple. I was going...

    MATLAB Is there a problem with adjusting the code for plotting climate data in Matlab?

    I played around with it some more and adjusted the adjusted code in the following way, changes emphasized again: lon = reshape(grid_txt_lon,144,33); lon(lon>180) = lon(lon>180) - 360; lon = [lon(74:144,:);lon(1:73,:)]; lat = reshape(grid_txt_lat,144,33); deg = reshape(degree,144,33)...

    MATLAB Is there a problem with adjusting the code for plotting climate data in Matlab?

    I have climate data that I am plotting in Matlab with a script. The relevant code for this problem, I think, is this: lon = reshape(grid_txt_lon,144,73); lon(lon>180) = lon(lon>180) - 360; lon = [lon(74:144,:);lon(1:73,:)]; lat = reshape(grid_txt_lat,144,73); deg =...

    Can You Safely Handle Alpha Radiation? The Dangers of Unprotected Exposure

    Nothing more than tingling? So theoretically, you could hold it in your hand and if you just washed your hands thoroughly enough, you'd be none the worse off?

    Can You Safely Handle Alpha Radiation? The Dangers of Unprotected Exposure

    Say I were to pick up a big chunk of Americium-241. Could I just hold it in my hand or would it be painful? Not that I'm planning on doing it, just out of curiosity.

    Executing a compiled program in Unix

    I talked to my supervisor and he explained that you simply have to run the program (./blub) and then the output will appear in output.f and a file called fort.51. The list of data that appears in fort.51 is what I need, but I just can't get it to work, the file remains empty. Before running back...

    Engineering Why don't more engineers/scientists go into finance

    I don't know of anyone who went into physics to have a career in finance.

    Executing a compiled program in Unix

    Thanks for the help. I haven't figured it out yet so I'll show what I have, maybe you have an idea.

    Executing a compiled program in Unix

    I got it from my supervisor without any documentation. Given that I really don't have any experience with Fortran, looking at the source code will probably be pointless for me. I guess the only way out is to ask my supervisor, though I was hoping to figure it out on my own. Edit: I remember...

    Multiple e-mails at once in gmail

    I need to send out a whole bunch of the same e-mails to different people and I know I can use CC or BCC, but I want to address them by their name as well. Is there a way to do that in Gmail?
