    How will the recession affect coop?

    The recession will be felt much harder in north america than anywhere else really. Canada will be greatly affected, but because of their trade with the EU and Asia I believe they will have less gruesome conditions than the US will probably have. And Coops will not be given out as carelessly...

    Ok, so we have a real cheapo here... *cursewords*, just save up the frigging money when you work and buy yourself a place at some good school and get that Msc if you can't get your company to buy the place for you. WHY do you have to have the degree this instant? just wait a bit and see. If you...

    Quantum Mechanics and Relativity Journey

    The maths - calculus in one and several variables (Here I think that you should've learned differential equations) - linear algebra - complex analysis - Fourier analysis - maybe some group theory or maybe Partial differential equations would help. The physics - mechanics in...

    Do extracurricular activities matter for grad school in math?

    kbfrog: I could give you a list, and this list i heavily weighted towards a Phd-position. 1. Research while still in your Bsc or Msc. Very good. 2. Tutoring in the subject at hand. 3. Tutoring writing at your writing center. 4. Work experience as a boss. 5. Being a treasurer of some sort...

    Which country has the best national anthem?

    I would say the soviet national anthem. I dislike the concept but their song is sung here a lot for various humour-reasons. The best lyrics would although be the french national anthem. http://www.nationalanthemsworld.com/anthems/france.html

    Candyshop Odour: Investigating its Chemical Composition and Potential Hazards

    can be used for something dangerous? ?_? First of all, all chemicals are dangerous, it's only a matter of dosage (look up LD50 and ED50). And probably it's one or two sorts of candy that tickles your imagination. Maybe it's some biological or psychological imprint of a candyshop you visited as...
