I figured that he wasn't actually a Physics major.
However, what are some jobs? I was looking at NASA because shoot for the sky, right? Well can you shoot any higher than NASA? I don't just want to work for some government thugs who'll just shove me aside to rub their dicks all over my work. I also don't want to work as a highschool teacher. Unless they pay me 300k starting that is.. ;)

i never saw somebody studying IT on /sci/ ... why?

>Expected boredom
>Did it anyway

Why would you do this?

>>1235790
Umm well, here was my reasoning:
1. Math is objective and the same everywhere. So, study, work hard, and I'll get a great GPA for law school (I always considered math my best subject).
2. School isn't about fun anyways (LOL)

then I realized...fuck law school, I still want to do politics, but I'm interested in science and its application. I don't want to take the easy way out anymore.

You guys saw this coming.

>>1235853
>GPA 2.0

>>1235701

>>1235853
Is it hard or do you just not care? Since your cumulative isn't that much better than your in-major GPA, I'm guessing it's the latter.

>>1235864
transforms
transforms everywhere.

>>1235886
My cumulative is low because I've taken only like ~3 classes that weren't ME, and I dont really give a crap about philosophy of industrial culture or Shakespeare literature
And yes it's hard. I fought my ass off for those C's. I go to a very good engineering college and I'm pretty much average. Some classes have curves as far as 10%=D-------50% = A

>>1235886
Also the cumulative gpa counts the major gpa in addition to non major, so yea.

Not really about studying, but I had to...

I only saw and analysed it in the 2nd year.

>>1236642
Derive the Schroedinger Wave Equation then.

>>1236676
And I love it

>>1236686
actually did in lecture.
Quite simple, from the kinetic and potential energy of the electron, then including that light is quantized, and then using the complex plane to describe the wave.
but i'm sure as hell not going to do it in detail here, that shit took almost two weeks in lecture, especially since half the chucklenuts didn't get it and constantly asked stupid questions.
We used quantum mechanics to derive a whole lot of other shit two, like the model of the harmonic (and then, for better accuracy anharmonic) oscillator for describing molecule oscillation, particle in a box for the energy of delocalized electrons (among others), participle on a ring and rigid rotor for molecule rotation, all completely with derivation, and ever step until we arrived at the equation we needed in the end.
Obviously we only do stuff we actually need in Chemistry later, but what we do, is assure you, i understand quite throughly.

Lets be honest, chemists, you don't get a real understanding of the Schrödinger equation until physical chemistry. Everything done in basic chem is fluff for the sake of explaining orbitals and covalent bonds.

>>1236786
Chemistry is sadly just a knowledge database science. :(

Not predictive like Physics.

>>1236786
>Lets be honest, chemists, you don't get a real understanding of the Schrödinger equation until physical chemistry
What i'm talking about here is actually a part of physical chemistry >>1236747

Also have a shit GPA. No idea what I'm going to do about grad school....I guess go to a shitty one..

>>1236885
I've already learned all that from doing hobby stuff in the garage, so I'm taking that class in uni.

bump for OC

Just finished freshman year planning on studying Civil Engineering and Statistics. I won't know what I got for a while :-/

>>1236909
I am referring to my Digital Logic class. You may know a good amount of the material, but wait until you design an entire CPU from gates and d flipflops and have to create all the instructions and shit and program it in assembly. Shit gets complicated. I doubt you have done all that in your garage, but good luck its pretty fun.

Not very pleasant...

I have a question. Does someone have a link or the name of some music that is just a mash-up of scientists like carl sagan speaking and turned into a song. I've seen them before but I don't remember what they're called. It would be really helpful. I'm trying to show them to a friend.

I dreamed about making awesome robots, instead I'm making retarded cellphones and shit.

first year student trying to pick courses:
How many EE related courses did you take first semester/what courses did you take? I really want to learn the material, but I hear it's easy for an individual to get swamped with those kind of desires?

>>1237812

First semester: Calc II for Engineers/Sci/Math majors, General Chemistry I, Calc based physics I, C++ programming. It was difficult bro.

haha oh wow. glad i researched my major.

Maybe they'll teach you ways to solve problems more efficiently with programming
But its all about programming none the less

go to georgia tech and see if you get those grades. to do that you no longer can possibly live a life i would be jealous of, as you would sacrifice all enjoyment of life.

>>1238012
No one asked, bro.

>>1238011
1) "their implementation and application in computer systems" does not reduce to "programming"
2) Notice the "and" between "the study of the theoretical foundations of information and computation" and "of practical techniques for their implementation and application in computer systems", which means that it certainly isn't ALL about programming.

>>1238033
>of practical techniques for their implementation and application in computer systems
So how would you implement an application on a computer system?
Well programming is apparently out of the question so...

>>1238027
I'm getting them at Toronto fine. Which I believes USA News ranks as a better program. Although maybe you just mean your school marks unusually strictly?

>>1238066
By programming, but the quote you cited has a wider meaning than that.

>>1238062

>>1238083
>My job is to implement computer systems via programming
>There's more to it than that
>Still hasn't explained wtf computer science is supposed to be

>>1238103
Well, "practical techniques for their implementation and application in computer systems" can also mean, for example, inventing a new virtual memory system, or the math magics behind 3d graphics, which are not programming yet are very much (applied) computer science. There's also, of course, the theoretical computer science branch ("the study of the theoretical foundations of information and computation") which you conveniently ignored.

eh, I' just image searched whatever came up first for physics chemistry and microbiology.
The general education of the sciences is useful for the "big picture" of biology and interesting at times, but I am in it for the animals.

Well, I'm thinking of switching from math to double-majoring in biomedical engineering and computer engineering. Any info on what I'll learn, what to expect, whether or not I should make such a huge leap, etc?

derive all real equations from complex solutions of the schrodinger equation.


I assume you mean:

1) look up the full electronic wavefunction (available at about 90 billion websites)

2) enter in the proper eigenvalues

3) norm squared


fin

1) chemists dont learn shit about quantum mechanics.

2) I am a chemist (major)

3) I took 1 single "advanced math for physics majors class" and got an A+ in 2nd quarter P-chem (quantum mechanics)

4) after taking upper division quantum (not p-chem, but actual pure quantum chem, you know, where there are like 4 other undergrads in the class?), I can tell you with absolute certainty that fully 99.9% of chemists dont know jack shit about quantum mechanics and FUNDMANETALLY misunderstand almost everything about it.

3 quantum chem UD electives
2 quantum physics UD electives
1 Math PDE UD elective
1 math ODE UD elective
1 condensed matter physics UD elective
1 statistical mechanics chemistry UD elective
1 photochemistry UD elective

(none required, all electives)

chemists dont know fucking jack shit.

"hur dur, I can use g03 an Charmm, winrar"

"you dont know how to derive the Kohn Shamm equations so you are basically just a monkey entering numberes"

>>1241055


but I admit, at the same time:


physics majors dont know jack fucking shit about symmetry.

ask a physics major about group theory and they will have no fucking clue what you are talking about.


ask a physics major about molecular orbital theory, or basic computational techniques, and most couldnt answer.

most physics curriculum study variational theory as the VERY VERY LAST THING in the 2nd quarter (which is typically as far as a BS requires) in QM.


and variational theory is used WAY THE FUCK more than perturbation theory in practice
