    true mbh this year I will put some damn good effort into my studies. Not half ass through it like I did fall 2003/spring 2004. Time to start building my future


    I kind of like calculus. But linear algebra I truly hate. Not that I think its harder, its just so damn messy!

    Physics seems like a cool major.
    If I didn't want to be an investment banker (Math and econ double major) I woulda like doding that, but also taking a Minor in finance, and nearly aminor in Pol sci lol.

    hmm thats a damn tricky question. Search for spock is a favorite. The one where they meet some kind of demi god is interesting aswell but only because its one of the first trek movies I saw

    The WORST one is when the travel back in time by going around the sun!!
    The first movie is a classic lol

    I kind of like the newest one aswell with the next generation crew. Was its name nemesis maby? The best tv series was the next generation.

    Have you seen the babylon 5 movies?

    I hate Search for Spock Too boring for me. That one your on about is the fourth one... I thought it was pretty good!
    Nemesis is one of my favourite, so is the 2nd one, The Wrath of Khan. I use to like The Next Generation, but watching it now, the special effects are so naff!

    I havent seen any Babylon 5 films. Are they any good?

    yeah ll of the b5 movies I have seen was very good. Especialy the one about the war betwen the humans and the....uhhhh.....**** what the hell was that race called. Those smart muther****ers, one of them marry sheridan in the later seasons!
    The star trek movie where the enterprise crew is suposed to look over a peace meating and someone sabotage it and blaim it on kirks hatred for the klingons.

    Damn star trek is just about the only real sci-fi there is almost all else is just sci-fantasy

    Well, I was raised in a strict Catholic upbringing and thought it would be interesting to study. I am far from any religion now. I'm more spiritual than religious.
    Anyway, the constant indoctrination of things like transsubstantiation and the trinity (to name a couple), did not go well when the "cloud" had been lifted. I gues I acquired logic along the way.
    Since I attend a public university, there is no specific religion. You can basically study about almost every religion, and topics related to it (Sex and religion; Death and Dying; Behind the Da Vinci Code, etc.)
    So, it is very interesting, b/c religion encompasses history, art, and murder/ death.

    I find religion so touchy, that I have yet to enter the P/R/W forum.

    Sorry for my rant, buddy

    What text are you using for QM? Griffiths' QM and CEM texts are both pretty well written, as is Jackson's CEM, though a tad more advanced.

    But how can you not like linear algebra, lol? Everything in this genre is based on it, as are DE's and tensor calculus. Then again, I abhored it when I first took it too, but I didn't know how deep the subject went or how it was connected to everything else.

    We are using Modern Physics 4th edition by P.A Tipler and R.A Llewellyn

    I guess I need to know exactly what I need the linear algebra for before I can put my mind into it fully. But I am starting to realise how important it is now when Im getting into the EM field and quantum physics courses.

    I havent gotten into tensor calculus yet and Im not sure what DE is btw?
