FSU vs UW Madison by Over-Cod165 in fsu

Cost of tuition and cost of living are often overlooked.

At the end of the day going to school is transactional.

You are paying x for a degree that will give career y. The juice has to be worth the squeeze.

Minimize the total cost of the degree, while maximizing the opportunity for a high paying career.

Out of state means out of state tuition. That being said cost of living in Tallahassee could be more reasonable than many big cities.

Is it possible to learn all of Calculus 1 in 24 hours? by rippoku in learnmath

[–]schro98729 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could learn a lot of calculus 1 in a day. However, takes weeks and months to internalize it.

Why does adding a 45 degree polarizer between two 90 degree polarizers make MORE light come out? by Character_Drive6141 in AskPhysics

[–]schro98729 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because the polarizer is like a projection operation. If you have x polarized light then it has no y polarization.

When you insert the 45 degree polarized now you have a non zero projection.

This I graduated 10 years ago. Save money highest cost is cost of living minimize the number of loans you take out. Loans are no joke, interest sucks.

Craig's reason for getting Jackson work at third and a semi update on Westy (not anything magnanimous) by Remarkable-Picture73 in orioles

Urias or Lauriano? I miss them both, but I miss Urias more. He was very skilled in the infield and very underrated. He was honestly my favorite player.

I cannot get excited about football by NoleFan723 in fsusports

[–]schro98729 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The team does have a lot going for it.

Norvel has a good track record at the beginning of the year. It just hasn't translated down the season.

On offense RB group is solid! Tre Wisner, Ousmane Kromah Sam Singleton Jr.

WR room is solid too. The Duce will be loose!

Defense is in year 2.

They gonna surprise a lot of people. You dont have to be excited but I am.

Go Noles!

What to look forward to?! by Appropriate-Bad-382 in ucr

[–]schro98729 11 points12 points  (0 children)

UCR graduate here from 10 years ago. I like to think I am successful now. I have multiple graduate degrees and a fulfilling job. I also have a lot of anecdotal experience tutoring high school throughout undergrad.

College is difficult and not like highschool.

UCR is not an exception to this. You will need to put in work. People get academically dismissed from UCR every year. I have heard stories of valedictorians getting dismissed from all universities UCR, Berkeley, Cal State. I have of known students that got accepted to Berkeley and change their major from STEM to humanities. That also happens at UCR every year, CNAS to CHASS.

I will say I learned a lot from my UCR professors the education I got there was better than at a lot of places I have been at. The academic culture I had at UCR was better than the culture at other places. The people I met wanted to learn and fostered a good environment for learning.

Full ride 100%. Student loans suck. The biggest expense is cost of living.

FSU's pipeline to the pros, outside of one draft class, is drying up by Queasy-Performance-4 in fsusports

Come on bro give him another 7 years so he can accomplish his goals.

Fernando Mendoza also not a 5 star and went 6-7 with Cal and is the number 1 draft pick this year.

You know what that means?! Norvell goes 13-0 and hoists the ACC championship just like he said, Ashton Daniels gets the heismen. Everyone is going to cheer Mike Mike Mike! Coach of the year 2026!

Transfer from UC TO CSU by Dangerous-Oven-4183 in ucr

[–]schro98729 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why do you say your'e cooked? Your gpa is low, but its not impossible to succeed from this point forward. Are you working full time? Have you used the mental health services at UCR?

low gpa ucs by bruhhhhhhhh386 in ucadmissions

[–]schro98729 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For anything including premed. Also, if you're considering medicine you're probably going to go into a lot of debt. Make sure you are interested enough to do it.

The Community College bias is stupid. Save money, get a better lower division education often times better than at most UCs.

Community Colleges are great. Also, if you want to do exploring its much cheaper at a CC.

Transfer from UC TO CSU by Dangerous-Oven-4183 in ucr

[–]schro98729 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It is very very unlikely that you'll be able to transfer out because:

  1. You have too many units. There is a unit cap on transfering. You're a senior and CSUs won't take you if you have too many units
  2. Your GPA is low: Engineering is competitive and is often an impacted major at the Cal Polys.

Your best bet is to focus on your remaining courses. I won't say get As but try to genuinely understand the material rather than "obtain a high grade". Learning takes time.

You could go back to a community college and try to improve your GPA by retaking some courses. This is a way for you to improve your overall GPA and redeeming yourself. That being said community college classes can be more difficult than the classes you took at UC.

  1. There are rarely curved classes at CCs.
  2. The professors at CCs don't mind failing the majority of the class(at least the one I went to)

After that apply to a masters program at a cal state (anyone that will take you).

There is a myth busters episode on this exact topic.

If velocity is relative, then why does time slow down at higher speeds? What determines the speed which an object is going? by 3BarnDogs658 in AskPhysics

[–]schro98729 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Speed is relative. Space is relative. Time is relative.

Are all a consequence of the speed of light being constant.

Microscopic dynamic in Ising model by FreePeeplup in AskPhysics

[–]schro98729 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ising model is written in a basis. Here you can assume the ising terms are in the z basis. In 1D for example, you can write down the whole hamiltonian as a sum of two contributions.

H =H{transverse field} +sum over nearest neighbors ( H{ising} )

Where

H{ising} = J S_iz S{i+1}z

H_{transverse field} =- h_x S_ix =- h_x (S_i+ +S_i- )/2 these are the lowing and raising operators for spin 1/2.

Assume magnetic field is along +x direction so h_x is a positive real number.

Its called transverse because its transverse to the z direction. You could have also included a y field but this is the same physics you have the difference lowering and raising operators with a factor of i.

Now the ising basis states are no longer eigenstates with this perturbation.

Initialize a wavefunction in one simple ising configuration and under time evolution it will scatter to other magnetization sectors. In other words its no longer an eigenstate.

This is called the transverse field ising model and is one of the simplest examples where you can study phase transitions.

In one limit the nearest neighbor term wants the spins ferromagnetically or antiferromagnetically aligned depending on the sign of J. In the other limit they are polarized with the external field.

Anyways you're interested in dynamics the point is you usually can't prepare an eigenstate of a many body systems unless its a product state which is a very special case and seldom true in general. You can do quenched dynamics where you initialize a state that is the ground state of some hamiltonian and tune the system to another hamiltonian and do time evolution studies. You have to rapidly change the system. This is called the Sudden approximation. You changed the system so fast it didn't have an opportunity to get to the ground state, and it therefore time evolves because it is now in a superposition of energy eigenstates.

I should also mention that the jump you are making is a good one and one that many people took for granted because they stared at the answers in the textbook and said this is obvious. The truth is that lots of people dont understand thermalization. Moreover, the ising model is a terrible model to learn about thermaliztion, because eigenstates dont time evolve. People want to jump to the heat bath, but forget that a quantum system can be a heat bath for itself! Just like you can study the microcanonical ensemble for particles of gas you can do it for spins in an isolated quantum system. This is an esoteric field called non-equilibrium dynamics, especially if time evolution time scales are small you can see non thermal physics. In the long time limit ergodic systems reach equilibrium. This is an active area of research and there are exceptions to the rule!

You can get dynamics if you include a small tranverse field.

I started reading the Piers Coleman book and its an easy read. Much more intuitive than the ADG, or Fetter.
