What changed is that I can provide a transcript. It is not that a professor is unwilling to write me a letter. I spent some time (the period I was working as a research assistant) working by myself in an area (QFT) which is not the area of the expertise of the PI. Keep in mind that I don't live...
Thank you. By the way, the examples that I have given above that satisfy the correct boundary conditionssatisfy the condition that $m^2-l(l+1)$ is an odd integer. Can you check that this is the required relation? I think one can start with the associated legendre equation and put sin(\theta)=1...
Let me think about it. The Energy eigenstates should be a solution of the associated legendre equation multiplied by $e^im\phi$ multiplied by a solution of the radial equation. Right? We can't do anything to the $e^im\phi$ or the radial part, I believe. Now, consider the solutions to the...
I studied medicine. I performed well in medicine. The courses I have taken in the graduate program are: classical mechanics, electrodynamics, quantum mechanics, mathematical physics and quantum field theory. I performed well in them despite the fact that I had not taken the undergrad versions of...
I am applying to graduate schools in physics. I studied physics independently when I was doing a challenging B.Sc degree. Despite taking no mathematics and physics courses, my studies enabled me to score highly in the physics GRE and to succeed in several theoretical physics graduate courses. I...
To give you an idea about my background , I studied QFT and Supersymmetry from textbooks such as Weinberg , Srednicki ,.. I also studied algebraic topology , complex analysis from Hatcher , lang and others. I face some difficulty substantiating the claim that I have this background aside from LOR.
No. But I intend to request LOR from professors who taught the graduate level courses that I attended and also the professors I TAed for. I understand the grad schools look for strong research potential. I'm going to use the available SOP space to highlight very specific physics problems that I...
Dear all ,
I'm interested in applying for PhD programs in physics this summer. I'm mostly interested in high energy theory. There are two things that concerns me :
1- I didn't take any physics / math course during my undergraduate years "In fact I graduated from medical school" but I studied...
