To what degree is PPPL associated with the university? I know it's nearby, but from what I've gathered, it's not part of the university. What type of programs are setup between PPPL and Princeton?
Hello!
I was wondering what are the main differences between math/physics programs at Princeton and Columbia and what might arguably be better for someone set on attending graduate school.
Anything will be appreciated :D
I am going into my junior year in university this fall. I am studying engineering physics and I have a particular interest in studying either nuclear engineering or plasma physics after graduating with my B.S. Our school requires me to take three classes out of these five options:
- Optics
- Quantum Mechanics
- Mechanics of Materials
- Mathematical Methods in Physics
- Special topics (most likely either Differential Equations 2 or General Relativity)
Which of these classes would you most recommend me to take? I will have to start taking these this spring, so I want to have this figured out by the start of this school year (since there are only two students in our physics program we have to let them know what classes we want to take ahead of time so they can arrange them to be offered). I would especially appreciate input from people who are currently taking or recently took these classes and those who have studied and work in nuclear engineering or plasma physics.
Thanks!
Hi all,
First post on this subreddit as a panicking AP student- I'm working through the third practice test in the Princeton AP Physics review and am stumped on this problem- unless I've been doing it wrong my entire course, the component of gravity parallel to the incline needs to be included when calculating acceleration, correct?
The answer key only includes the force of gravity on the hanging block and the force of friction: (3g - ΞΌcos(theta) ) / 4, and doesn't mention this component of gravity at all
Princeton has been great for review and the rest of their practice tests aren't too bad (if a little calculation-heavy) but it feels like it's full of errors and doesn't really work through its steps too well :(
To those who have this book. Is the FRQ missing for chapter 10 (Torque and Rotational Motion)? If you have it can you send it, thanks.
