I suggest you continue learning C++ for it is more performant than python. This is not important if time isn't a problem (typically it is!). There are various books on computational physics which you could look up.

In general physicists write shitty code and you'd stick out of the crowd if you know about various principles in software design, so looking into some blogs on "expressive code" could be a good idea.

If you don't know about datastructure I strongly suggest you take a course in it. Without knowledge of proper data structures your simulations won't terminate in your lifetime :)))

Thanks, mate. desu I'll probably stick to Python until I start getting into more difficult simulations. I really don't know anything about data desu. Do you have any recommendations for 3D visualization, plotting, graphing and stuff in Python?

>>9103029
I've used PyQtGraph for plotting simulations realtime. It got the job done. I haven't used other visualization libraries for python so unfortunately I can't compare it to other libraries. I know that matplotlib is popular too but I chose against it since other people said matplotlib wasn't really good for updating plots in realtime.

Python is a good choice too, it will serve you well. Many physicists use python, I'm sure you know this, so there is usually plenty of help to get if you need it :).

Datastructures speed up your computation by a lot if used properly. They are especially useful for simulations which takes place in [math] \mathbb{R}^n [/math], like a billiard simulation with 10k particles. I feel like I'm babbling so I'll just end it there.

(OP here) for example how exactly the mobius strip is a bundle?

If your fundamentals are solid (Calc 1,2,3 if you're American) + Linear algebra as you described, the only thing you should need is some sort of class that goes into proof writing (Discrete Math). Otherwise you really should be fine as long as you take it seriously and properly manage your time. Also study correctly and efficiently of course.

jokes on you, these guys will have to go out of business sooner or later. long term cryogenics is not sustainable with their business plan.

How confident are you in your math skills in general ? Math placements for incoming college freshman are a joke, and if you get placed in a lower level class your probably a brainlet.

Anyway most colleges will have practice tests available online or at the very least the list of topics that will be covered on the test.

pretty confident but also pretty rusty.
ive taken the practice test and i only got into the logarithmic functions.....

Pretty much guaranteed assuming humanity doesn't annihilate itself or make some sort of anti-robot movement within the next couple hundred years.

Nope.

How can the noodles be hot if our mouths arent real?

To actually answer your question, it's the salt in the water of cup-o-noodle that is hot.

>>9102495
>Is it the noodle itself hot or is it the water and oils surrounding it?
the noodle is mostly water itself you know that right

The water is better at heat transfer than the noodle or oil.

I'm looking more for CS/Engineering/Economic work, similar to the vein of http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/7835173/.

siegman's "lasers" textbook is an old but priceless reference for all things laser related

Also are you Kaleb?

Not even a little.

Hey op. , just graduated with a bs in physics and work in optics. Mainly lasers and microscopes

On the internet, I think.

alternitively there are websites for the big telescopes n you can download huge ass pictures off them. sometimes many tens of GB big. but im not gonna find those 4 uuu
