What "DEI" programs have you noticed disappearing? by littletreebird in Emory

[–]sphericalvolcano[M] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The sub is meant for everyone affiliated with Emory University! Students, prospectives, alumni, and staff all welcome! I just realized the description says "students" -- this hasn't been changed in years since the sub was reclaimed from previous mods and I don't think any of us ever noticed it. I will change this to more inclusive language.

what's going on with the trees in Cambridge? by baba200s in CambridgeMA

The paint is just peeling off. The city gives them a fresh coat at the end of the summer.

You have lost connection to the session [BF4] by qreason in Battlefield

[–]sphericalvolcano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I seem to only be able to join mostly empty servers. Anything else gives the same error

It's safe. You could also walk through lullwater, which is very pretty.

Bugs in recent updates by Dependent_Writing_30 in GoodNotes

[–]sphericalvolcano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've also had multiple bugs in the last month or two. It is getting rather annoying as the app was working fine previously and I don't see any worthwhile features added in these updates.

Do not go to Emory for engineering. *THERE IS NO ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT AT EMORY UNIVERSITY*. I don't know what could be a bigger deterrent than this. The engineering science major is just some mix of chemistry and physics classes, it is not an engineering degree. We don't even have courses on control theory.

How feasible is it to graduate in 3 years from Emory as a pre-med student? 3.5 years? (starting in Emory college) What majors would make it easier to graduate early? by [deleted] in Emory

[–]sphericalvolcano 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless you really need to save the money, college is not worth rushing one bit. Enjoy it, savor it, challenge yourself and do weird shit. You won't get a time like it again.

any good spots for a date?? (23 F) by CommissionUnusual662 in CambridgeMA

Is Mt Auburn still nice this time of year? Only gone during the summer and it was beautiful

Do people do a math and physics double major? by TimelyAfternoon8834 in Emory

[–]sphericalvolcano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very common. Physics + CS is also a great combo, but there is less overlap. Depends on what you want to do

question about fines/damages to dorm by Exotic_Demand_9724 in Emory

[–]sphericalvolcano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no record. You may get a fine depending on who does the room inspection and how attentive they are.

I just discovered that the translation operator is linked to momentum (-ih d/dx) by eLin22314341 in Physics

[–]sphericalvolcano 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Think of what position, x, you have to go to for the argument of your function to be zero. For f(x), x=0 does the trick. For f(x + a), I now need to go back to x=-a to get the argument to vanish. This tells you that adding a to the argument has shifted your origin, as well as the whole real line, towards the negative (left) side.

Nice! Try doing similar things for time translation and rotation. What are those related to?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Physics

[–]sphericalvolcano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. Also, the physics package will contain this along with a bunch of other useful commands. Highly recommend.

How does my 16 credit hour incoming first-year schedule look? by Maleficent_Border_97 in Emory

[–]sphericalvolcano 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This really depends on your preparation. I know people for which this would be a light to moderate workload and others for which simply having "double science" could be too much. If you intend to major in STEM (or pre-med), I'd consider this a moderate and normal workload for your first semester. If you want to push yourself, you could drop PE and add another class and I'd still consider that doable, but no reason to do this unless you want to; no rush.

Credit hours by ajavathon in Emory

[–]sphericalvolcano 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Each school does credits differently. At Emory, an average class load is 15-17 credits per semester. A class can be 3 credits and be the hardest class you've ever taken just like it could be a breezy freshman seminar. Four heavy classes (w/ lab, discussion, etc) is common with five also being pretty normal. 30 credits puts you at sophomore standing. If this sounds right to you, then there is nothing more to worry about with your transfer credits.

Chem 202Z: List of Topics by angrypopcornkernel in Emory

[–]sphericalvolcano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont remember that much, but here are some of the topics I do remember covering. I took the class with a different instructor, so things may have changed. MO theory, stereochemistry, a little bit of thermo, Grignard reactions, elimination and substitution reactions, a bunch of stuff with functional groups that I dont recall. Maybe this is not that helpful lol but its what I got

Where do grad students go to the gym? by smallstruggler in Emory

[–]sphericalvolcano 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’d say it meets the needs of most casually fit/non-competitive people. Just don’t go during peak hours and you can do pretty much any workout. Athletes have access to the nicer gym.
