What is Honors: Definition and 80 Discussions

I am thinking about doing Honors Physics. Is getting the major in math as well a good idea?

Homework Statement Let C be the circle of radius 2 centered on the origin and contained in the plane 2x - 3y + 5 = 0. Compute the flux through C of the constant vector field v = {6, - 1, 12} I have no idea about this problem. This is one the review problem which was given to us in the...

Homework Statement A .45kg ice puck, moving east with a speed of 3 m/s has a head-on collision with a .9 kg puck initially at rest. Assuming a perfectly elastic collision, what will be the speed and direction of each object after the collision? M1 = .45kg M2 = .9kg V1 = 3m/s V2 = 0m/s...

I've been doing a conjoint project for my thesis with the school of Biomedical Engr and its affiliate hospital. I've conducted most of my work at the hospital - so I was wondering how I'd list this in my resume. As its unpaid research that's a part of my degree - would this be listed under...

Hello, I am second year engineering physics major looking to go to grad school for either physics or nuclear engineering. Unfortunately my freshman year I decided not to do the honors curriculum because I had only took very basic high school courses and didn't feel prepared for it. How...

Hey guys, I am applying to University of Delaware and was wondering if the title of graduating in honors physics was all that much better than simply physics. It is a lot more writing intense according to the description, which makes me think that it will bring my grade down, because writing...

Bumper Project: Need help with equations used. I was recently assigned this project for my honors physics class. I don't want any help with the design itself of the bumper I was just wondering if I could have help identifying different equations that would apply to this.1. Problem Statement...

I have looked into and am very interested in the Michigan Honors Math Program (specifically the 295-296-395-396 sequence). I am planning to apply to college right now, and I need help picking schools. 1) Do other schools have a similar honors math program? 2) Disregarding admissions...

Honors molecular biology homework help... please :) Hello, My daughter was given a honors project for Biology at her very small private high school (maybe 150 students total) It is on molecular biology (I think) She was given no workbook, no information, and no idea as to where to...

Hi, my university is offering a honors version of real analysis based off of Rudin's principals of mathematical analysis. I've heard that Spivak is good preparation so I bought it. It has 30 something chapters so I don't know if I can go through it all. Generally, for anybody who knows, how much...

How helpful is it to graduate with honors when applying to a math PhD program? I have room for two advanced sequences next year out of algebra, analysis, and topology. I really, really want to study topology, but the requirement to graduate with honors is algebra and analysis. If it's going...

hi, i'm a sophomore in high school and I am one or two years ahead in math with honors. (my school is two different towns combined, where I am from I am two years ahead) The first quarter I didn't try and got a 79.45 (80 is a B- she wouldn't round) The second quarter I got an...

Hey, here's the deal: I want to do an honors project (not a senior thesis or anything like that--just a project that will give me honors credit for my physics I w/ calc class)... One of my chem professors suggested that I review the method and background of molecular dynamics as applied to...

I'm a senior in High School, and took BC Calculus as a Junior and this last semester a 1-semester Calc 1&2 honors class, mainly for those those who took AB in High School at the University of Utah. (It's surprising how bad you can do on the AP test and still get a 5). I'm signed up for the next...

While I know most of the members of this forum are sufficiently enlightened to know women can be just as good at science as men, this is a nice story to help the rest of the world catch up to seeing things that way. http://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/04/nyregion/04siemens.html?_r=1&oref=slogin

I'm currently debating whether to join my school's honors program. Since I'm a transfer student and have completed all of my lower-div and GE classes, I just have to take upperdiv math and physics. Of the classes I want to take, none of them are honors courses (they don't cover extra material...

I've started Uni on a very bad note, I started unmotivated and lazy and I ended up stuffing up my first semester. Nothing went right for me, and I feel that I mightn't pass everything. My problem is that I want to do Honors but I think that this semester might make this impossible. Is there any...

What are the best Text/Review books for: Chemistry Honors, AP Calculus, AP Bio, AP Enviornmental Science?? I'm looking for good textbooks that are easy to comprehend and gives you a lot of practice and allows you to think a lot. Likewise, I would like simplistic review books that go right to...

AP Computer Science A VS. Chemistry Honors<-- highest level chem course Which class should I take Junior year? Which do you think will be the most beneficial for someone who is planning to apply to top UCs and Stanford (engineering/science major). Here are the pros and cons that I think...

Honors Chemistry, Is it essential for getting into good schools?? I'm in High School. I'm planning on majoring in engineering or science related fields and I don't know whether I should take the only chemistry offered at our school, Honors Chemistry. The only thing is that there is only one...

In general, how much different is an Honors section from a standard section? I have the option of registering for Calc II Honors next semester; however, I've never taken an Honors level class before so I'm a little hesitant.

any HS honors precalc teachers here? I am looking for a typical outline and syllabus for a typical year of HS honors precalc. what subjects and topics would be covered? thanks.

Are they worth it? At my school there is no national Mathematics or Applied Mathematics honors societies. But I got invited to Golden Key. I'm wondering if it is worth it to join Golden Key? Maybe not even for recognition but maybe just to meet more people? Any feedback is appreciated.

http://www.nyu.edu/classes/tuckerman/honors.chem/lectures/notes.html Lecture 1 -- Introduction and mathematical preliminaries Lecture 2 -- Origins of molecules, relative masses, and the mole concept Lecture 3 -- Chemical formulae, chemical equations and the fundamental laws of...

an airplane's velocity with respect to the air is 400 kilometers per hour, with a bearing of 45degrees. The wind at the altitude of the plane has a velocity of 40 kilometers per hour with a bearing of N50degeeesE. What is its speed relative to the ground Ok I am not asking you to do the...

I am having troubles with these: If you could answer any 1 of these, thank you :) This is due by Midnight (tonight) 12/15/05 (*sigh*) (1) The coefficient of static friction between the person and the wall is 0.64. The radius of the cylinder is 5.48 m. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s...

I was assigned to do a Lab report on an experiment we did in class.. this is for advanced physics honors.. I want to know if there's anything I should have that I don't .. or if something doesn't sound right?? Also .. could someone help with writing the Abstract?? THANKYOU! Abstract...

Hi I'm in an honors physics class. I don't really understand the difference between average speed and instantaneous speed. Say I'm given in data table with time (s) and distance (m). How can I find each of these? Is there a formula? Also, what is the relationship of velocity with...

I have noticed that all the decent honors calc books I am familiar with have gone out of print. I do not mean actual pre PhD honors courses for which one can always use spivak or courant or apostol. I am just teaching a nice moderately rigorous course for which an early edition of Stewart or...

hey. i am in a physics honors class, and we just had a test. each test has 9 questions, 8 which are decent, and the last one is the "death problem" this problem is worth 20 point, double of the others (if you did the math, if you get die on the death problem, the highest score possible is...
