Is anyone a Physics or Math fan? Love talking about WW2 but im also a nerd 8) so was just curious if there are any others out there. 
ha ha ha ha ha :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
that is a very subtle one!
I wonder if all 3 Physicists / Engineers will appear here, or only the two that work in Aeronautics - leaving the Dullard at home?
ā¦
Iām an engineer by study, but I work now in intellectual properly (thatās patents).
Iām a bit rusty on the old maths, but whatās your question?
No questions just thought i would start a topic about it. See whoās interested. I have a Bachelorās degree in Phyics and will start my Maters Program in the Physics of Geological Processes in august. Just thought it might be a fun topic to discuss some math and science. Ya know the GOOD STUFF
Currently on a year long course that is almost completely maths and physics (electronics).
Hate it, but it pays the bills.
I thought I had an interesting course! but one glimpse of that text has swung me!
Out of the window with āTerrorist Forces and insurgencies 1955-70ā
āCombattants without licenceā
I want MOTHAFUCKIN lazers and shit!
i am not major in math, but rather in business
but i am thinking of changing it to math sooner or later
Although I have found the book I still havent see the class offered yet. Mabye its under the Mās āMuthafuckin Physics 666ā :twisted: Ah there she is.
I am not to fond of it. :lol:
Has anyone here read Brian Greeneās āThe Elegent Universeā??? There is a sequal to the book which i have not read. But the first deals with alot of basics and finish with deep theories on String Theory. Very interesting. Not sure how much of it I buy but nonetheless a well writtten book for the average personā¦except towards the end you kinda have to be well educated to comprehend what he is talking about. Anyhow I suggest it to anyone interested in Physics.
Stephen Hawkingās āA Brief History of Timeā is also a great book. Read it in 13 hours on a train ride in Finland.
I also love reading books on the history of math.
Maybe we can break out our brains and solve the Riehman Hypothesis on here. :lol: :lol: :lol: We can split the million dollars you get if you solve it.
Riehman hypothesis?
google didnt provide me with a question?
can you explain?
My bad ā¦typo. Riemann Hypothesis and the six other million dollar math problem are here.

GOOD LUCK :lol: :lol: :lol:
Iām an Aero/Mechanical engineering MEng. Lots of nasty maths (Navier-Stokes, potential flow and the like) but nothing spectacular on the physics side. Now deal mainly with high speed machines and extremely low pressure gases at work.
Iām an Aeronautical Engineering student, 2 exams and 3 weeks short of an MEng (pressure! :x). So, I do like the more applicable end of the Maths / Physics spectrum. Amazingly, my enjoyment has not been crushed, even after four years, and I look forwards to applying my skills and knowledge to all sorts of problems.
Today, however, I particularly dislike the following:
People such as Messrs Cebeci, Smith, Baldwin and Lomax,
Words like āErgodicā, āVicinalā and āderiveā,
Phrases like āYou may now turn over your papersā.
A dirac delta will be sent to the first person (pdf and stoat excluded as Iām sure they know the answer without trying) to guess why.
Something to do with the movement of gases? Also recall something about Lagrange? Too many sci-fi books and a Physics teacher who thought that the National Curriculum didnāt apply to himā¦
Try a good course in quantum mechanics with a crazy commie chinese teacher. Enough math to make you wanna puke the greek alphabet and shoot yourself in the head to keep from going insane. :x
Well, thatās a plus side of engineering! The maths isnāt as hard as a lot of the stuff inflicted on physics students and thereās almost always something you can visualise to help āidiot checkā your solution. Idiot checks are a lifesaver, especially in exams.
I do remember plenty of maths lectures from the first couple of years where the lecturer would take a process learnt at A level and announce that he would now āprove it rigorouslyā. A shocking number of dās, dels, and big and little deltas later, you would no longer understand what the process did or how to apply it. Mostly though, you can just write āneglecting small termsā, which is a lot like ācrossing out the bits that look hard to integrateā and avoid the worst bits.
Quantum mechanics features a lot of statistics I think. I was disappointed when we had a quick look at it, again at A level, and I finally realised that we werenāt going to be able to watch brightly coloured spheres bouncing round and instead there would be calculus followed by more calculus.
not really but i am a nerd i collect warhammer 40k (yes i know im going to have the piss taken for that)
Iām interested in Physics and will be taking it my Sophmore year in High School I thinkā¦ anyway if it explodes - Iām interested!
ahh i suck in math i dont know if im gonna make it to 8th grade teacher says i got to have a passing grade on math or im staying in 7th grade for another year
