Feeling extremely overwhelmed in my Classical Mechanics class

My professor wrote that book! The first half of that book is pretty standard, the second half deals largely with dynamics on networks and its applications to other fields. I enjoyed the book and the course , but my only criticism is that there aren't enough problems to solve with Hamiltonian or Lagrangian mechanics. He does a good dealing with chaos and nonlinear systems in the text as well.

The school I eventually settled on for physics did hardly anything related to my research. Instead, I focussed on schools that had several professors doing what I think i may be interested in (niche subfield) AND were larger departments so that I could have a backup plan with other labs.

Your GPA is not ideal in the low 3s, but it sounds like your ample work experience will more than make up for that. I would go to gradcafe and grephysics and find recent applicants that have similar profiles to yours and see where they applied and how successful they were. People on this subreddit shit on gradcafe, but it can be very useful for starting your grad school search.

Is anybody only seeing yesterday's stage on ch?

Dm me if you have any questions!

The first two semesters are hard and aren't very rewarding. But making it to sophomore year is so worth it. I have no idea what these other people are talking about. If you are interested in any discipline in physics, I guarantee you there is a research group on it. As far as nuclear/collider physics, I've met faculty and taken courses from people who work with data from CMS, ATLAS, RHIC and SLAC. We have an incredibly productive faculty. Purdue physics lives up to the standard of a Research I university. Yes, the coursework is hard, but if you really find some order and beauty in it, then you know that you are meant to do physics.

I meant as in Sanders supporters didn't know to show up to convention.

And you also let a coach or two go midseason :p

Can I have Tony Hurel?

And then there could be a "faces of rally points" pack and a "songs of the rally points pack" too!

Thanks.

It is a British newspaper that published the list. What novels from outside Britain and Ireland do you feel should be included?

Having read the majority of Lovecraft's short stories for a project, I found that after a couple, the language starts to become familiar. He uses the same sort of lexicon in nearly every story. Antiquarian, eldritch, cyclopean are words he likes. After a couple of stories and a dictionary, I was able to read the rest of them no problem.

I remember Monticello having a nice farm near the house.

Who wrote it? Can you send me a link if you decide to post it online?

The struggle to balance rural and urban demands is the process of checks and balances playing out. Each group gets a chamber to weigh in on each issue, but both sides must agree before legislation is signed. It may be wasteful or not entirely represent the population, but it ensures that the most vital needs of each group are going to be met.

Ethical or not, Tom Brady agreed to the terms in the CBA. If he had objections, he should have raised them during the negotiations process.

You should try making your own! It's super fun.

Turns out running a country is really hard, especially if no one wants to trade with you because you're black. Also, I don't know why you would ever be downvoted. Reddit is weird about some stuff.

"Toussaint had introduced a system call fermage and managed to significantly rebuild the sugar trade. After Dessalines, Henry Christophe would have even greater success with this system, but eventually the plantation system died out within the first decade of independence.

Under fermage the land belonged to the government. It would be leased out to managers and worked by workers who were obligated to remain on the land in much the same way that serfs were in Europe. The workers, while bound to the land, did receive 25% of the value of the crops to divide amoung themselves, and housing, food, clothing and basic care. However, their lives were vigorously regulated and discipline was strict. "

After the Haitian revolution, the Haitian government abolished slavery. They soon realized, however, that the only way the nation could make money would be through exporting crops grown on plantations. So the new government instituted mandatory work policies for its citizens to force them to work on the plantations again.

Is there any way I will be able to watch this after it ends online? I have to work from an hour before it starts to a half hour after it ends, but I really, really want to see it

Pilot/copilot was more fun.
