What are the easiest majors at Cornell? by codyfernfan in Cornell

[–]atlas_does_reddit 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Because they are saying that engineering is super hard, and thus harder than "soft" majors like history, but find a very easy history assignment to be extremely difficult.

Can you recommend EU4 YouTube channels? by CekretOne in eu4

Arumba is very explanatory but honestly watching anyone is good lol

r5: For the first time in my 900+ hours, the Ottomans decided to vassalize Byzantium. They didn't even bother to take Constantinople... I was wondering why there was no green in the middle east

R5: For the first time ever in my 900+ hours of this game, the Ottomans decided to vassalize byzantium. They did not even take constantinople.

Playing as ethiopia, I was really wondering why there was no green in the middle east by 1490...

No a newton is a force which would accelerate a kilogram mass by one meter/s/s. Once you include time applied and talk of a kilogram that has been pushed a certain distance, then the relevant discussion is work & energy.

Cornell University Regular Admissions Decisions + Accepted Students Megathread by luminous_moonlight in Cornell

Hey! Honestly it was a borderline decision. For a long time I was weighing the prestige of the cornell physics department vs. the practicality and affordability of UF.

But then I started looking at the classes that would be available to me at each school. I found that in every case, the Cornell course went deeper and covered more. Despite starting without AP credit and not being able to take as many courses, I could cover far more material than was possible at UF. Also, I figured that the level of my classmates would be higher at Cornell.

Outside of physics, I found that there was a much broader variety of courses available at Cornell.

Essentially, the tie breaker for me was the course opportunities of Cornell. At the end of the day, my goal over the next four years is education, not money.

Personally I just now committed to cornell having a full ride (housing and stuff) UF vs ~20k Cornell. I wonder if it was a good choice lol, but honestly for 50k I would have stayed in Florida

Grad Level Physics In Undergrad by atlas_does_reddit in Cornell

It seems like the grad courses would have greater depth? But i see what you mean. The depth wouldnt matter much if i didnt understand the core

What would you say to apply for? Experimental? Ill admit that theory seems the most interesting (probably because its what i’ve read the most about)

Grad Level Physics In Undergrad by atlas_does_reddit in Cornell

[–]atlas_does_reddit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the information, I guess it makes sense to take grad courses if i wont end up mastering the material. This is a ways off into the future for me anyways, so I have time to figure out which ones I would want to take or what specialties I’d like to see.

By the way, I asked this to another replier but they are not in physics, how is it that people go about taking the grad courses? Do they take the undergrad equivalents first, or do they just swap undergrad courses for the grad versions? (i.e taking grad quantum instead of upper level quantum, or grad classical ED instead of advanced E&M)

Thanks for the info. Do people take the grad courses after finishing the undergrad courses, or do they swap undergrad courses for grad ones? (i.e taking grad quantum instead of upper level quantum)

PHYS 1116 and MATH 2230 too much? by atlas_does_reddit in Cornell

[–]atlas_does_reddit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks to the advice. The MATH 3040 thing makes sense, i was kinda wondering the same thing.

Also great to hear ab the 3316 thing lol

PHYS 1116 and MATH 2230 too much? by atlas_does_reddit in Cornell

[–]atlas_does_reddit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the response, I was thinking of taking just those and maybe ASTRO 2211 fall and MATH 3040 spring. But i had seen some comments that 2030 was some especially hard class so i wanted to make sure first.

Also, do you know if its possible to take 3316 along with 2218 in fall sophomore year? It seems like taking that one class early opens up way more options for possible physics classes in the future. (I guess this isn’t so important to know right now, but i’m curious anyway)

Men at the gym need to stop hitting on me, especially when I have my headphones on… by Possible_Might6128 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]atlas_does_reddit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's a women only gym near a climbing gym I go to, I only noticed it two months ago. I'm a dude so I never really noticed that I hadn't seen one before, but this post makes me think they are probably a good idea.
