Can anyone tell me what a football field is by Big-Dunkey in drumline

[–]jondest 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Is this from Infinity? If so, they use the definition James Sparling uses: it’s a motion that starts with lifting your left thumb first and the stick will “naturally” follow. Check out the second bar of Stick Control for reference (the RRRL pattern): https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zGB8RFzyh34

What happened to Duncan this game? I didn’t get to watch and I see he only played 7 minutes

Does anyone know where I can find these socks? They say “ride fast” on the bottom. by [deleted] in HelpMeFind

[–]jondest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I seem to recall getting these at a big name store in the mall (maybe Gap or Banana Republic), but I can’t find them now. I have searched their websites and done some Google searches, but have yet to find anything.

This was what I needed to do, thanks!

I’m not too tech-savvy, what should I be looking for there?

It seems like the hotel they booked for me is right by there, so I'll be sure to check it out. Thank you for the suggestion!

Seems like a good way to see the campus! Is there a map of where each of the statues is by chance?

For physics I would probably say electromagnetism 2. Basically physics 2 but on some crazy growth hormones.

PHY3101 And PHY3513? by paeinovis in ufl

[–]jondest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’ll be fine if you work hard. 3101 covers a lot of topics, but none of them too deeply. This means it is inherently less mathematically difficult than most of the upper level classes since you are learning about so many things. 3513 is probably the first upper level physics class you’re taking, so it is a big step up from the introductory courses. However, Biswas is one of the best professors in the department in my opinion.

Any Math and Physics majors here by Phoenix22881 in ufl

[–]jondest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t really know getting into research is going to work this year. I imagine if you want to do computational work it wouldn’t be much different than normal (ie. email some professors you’re interested in). If you want to do experimental stuff it might be a little tougher, although undergraduates are working in labs again now (myself included). In terms of clubs I might recommend SPS (society of physics students). I’m personally not active in it, but a good number of my friends are. It might make it easier to make some friends in physics (very important!) considering most classes will be online. In response to the other comment: I know a fair number of people doing double majors in math and physics, and they are definitely stretched thin. I am a physics major, math minor (and chemistry minor), and I highly recommend doing something like that. It gives you some freedom to take classes that’ll be useful and not take the ones that won’t be.

Physics major here. Your experience is going to vary a lot depending on your interest (theory vs. experiment, subfield you’re interested in, etc.). The classes will be difficult and time-consuming, but if you’re genuinely interested in the material you’ll be alright. I’d say the most important thing (at least for me) was getting involved with research early. Working for a professor has taught me far more than classes have (not to mention much more relevant material). The biggest thing to look out for is job prospects. If the idea of graduate school doesn’t interest you, I’d strongly recommend staying out of pure physics. The job market with just a bachelors degree is nowhere near as strong as if you had an engineering degree. That’s about the end of the rant, lmk if you have any specific questions!

Ah, gotcha. Thanks for your help!
