back to uni

tomorrow university begin again. Quantum physics and EM fields is the first 2 courses. Glad they dont begin with that linera algebra shit that I hate

Gonna be fun to do something meaningfull against and not just waste time with a crap job wiping old ****ers in the ass and changing dipers.

I didn't like linear algebra either.

Study hard bro!! No hard work goes unnoticed.

**MilitiaGuy** · 08-23-2005, 01:11 PM

I was a math , programming nerd in college during my computer sciences studies but now I am studying politics 1 month and my uni begin , I will take the" diplomacy & negociations" course this semester I hope its not cold like the courses in the previous semester.

**Kärnfysikern** · 08-23-2005, 01:14 PM

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!

**Unoid** · 08-23-2005, 06:33 PM

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.

**Liquidred** · 08-23-2005, 10:53 PM

i hate math...thats why im law student.....i just need to know who owes me money and who i owe and i can do that on a calculator

Quantum physics?! You must be very intelligent bro. What do you want in the future?

yeah Im the next einstein

In the future I want to get a phd in physics(not sure what field of it). I want to be involved in space flight. Theoretical propulsion development or something like that.

Wow! Now that would be intresting!

I take it you like abit of Star Trek then?

So was i....

Which was the best Star Trek film then in your opinion?

**Kärnfysikern** · 08-24-2005, 02:21 PM

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?

**armwrestler22** · 08-24-2005, 05:00 PM

damn trekies

**Keyser Sozey** · 08-24-2005, 05:37 PM

I like KAHN KHAN KHAN(echoe)
Anyway, I start up on Tuesday. Funny me being a religious studies grad student and being an agnostic <-----irony
Btw, johan, I got the name of that book for you in the thread you posted about your favorite new book.

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

lol why did you choose to study religion?

Il check that book out hopefully it can be found in sweden.

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

**Keyser Sozey** · 08-25-2005, 01:50 AM

I would describe myself as ecclectic.

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.

**Kärnfysikern** · 08-27-2005, 08:40 AM

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?
