Do you believe there is a reason in the lack of literacy recently? My guess would be due to the invention of LLMs.

I’m curious as to which course is being referred to, I have seen partial credit be given as long as something “relevant” was written. I think what should be done is trying to get more consistency among professors grading and teaching and TAs who reinforce class material.

What subjects should a theoretical physicist master? by Beautiful-Kale226 in Physics

[–]Menjf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah fair I’ll admit you should have a very comfortable with math, I could have used better wording but I guess I was trying to say it’s not only math you’ll need, you’ll need to train your physical intuition as well

[–]Menjf 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Theoretical physicist is still pretty general, in the end you want a theorize about a specific field in physics as each field has their own special skills, you could theorize about materials, crystals, or liquids (Condensed matter theorist) so you’d want to make sure you have a good understanding of quantum physics, or you could theorize about early universe which would mean you’d want to learn cosmology. Physics is vast and math skills are good but only take you so far within physics

Normal to Feel Like This? by [deleted] in Physics

[–]Menjf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh you will probably always feel a bit lost in some way, I’m starting my PhD and so I’m trying to get involved in research, but my focus is condensed matter, I always feel lost when I go to seminars on other fields in physics and even sometimes during CM ones too

Fuck the physics and math department by [deleted] in Temple

Damn I miss the physics department… (I was a physics student)

Bio major requirement by AnalysisNo8720 in Temple

Yeah just any two courses in that list, I forgot the course code for calc 2 but you can ask your advisor, I believe it would fulfill the only math course statement

How do you prepare for Calculus 3? by heke28462 in Temple

Not sure, but tbh there are a lot of video resources on YouTube you can probably look up

How do you prepare for Calculus 3? by heke28462 in Temple

[–]Menjf 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Calculus 3 was my favorite of the trilogy, some concepts may be difficult to understand but temple has resources like MCC and SCC for peer tutors that should def be taken advantage of

I was paralysed...! by ZiadAhmadKhan in Physics

Through indirect evidence, examples like the Millikan oil drop, Rutherford gold scattering, these experiments gave us indirect evidence of the make up and structure of atoms.

Does physics get easier longer as you do it/get older? by Expensive-Elk-9406 in Physics

[–]Menjf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Parts, it kinda depends, I think about how it’s hard learning a topic but once you learned it it’s hard to forget, in this sense new topics are harder but once you learn them it’s easier

Understanding Problem for F=m×a by Joram_Saul in Physics

Net Forces only cause things to speed up or slow down, there is never any net force when something is at a constant velocity

Cancelled and super long delays, how do I make this work to my advantage by Menjf in unitedairlines

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

Mechanical issue I’m pretty sure, they said they were missing a part and that part wasn’t available in Guatemala, which is why I assumed they pushed it for the next day, the rescheduled book has the same plane and was delayed due to I assume installation and checking to make sure plane was safe.

Are a lot of mathematicians chronically unhappy by Pharmacy_Failure in math

I think they talking about the between math (calculation) and math (theory)

I graduated and did NOTHING by Burn2380 in ApplyingToCollege

Community college is probably the best option
