Jay-qu Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 As part of my science course I have the opportunity to take on a research project that will continue for the rest of the year. If I choose to do it, it must be maths based but can be in any main area or science. I am thinking of taking on an astrophysics topic, not sure on specifics yet. So if you had the opportunity to study and research something, what would it be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turtle Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 So if you had the opportunity to study and research something, what would it be?Definately something recommended by Uncle Al. :eek: :eek2: :hihi: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay-qu Posted May 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 guess I will see what he has to say then.. keeping in mind that it is a first year project Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 guess I will see what he has to say then.. keeping in mind that it is a first year project What math do you favor in relation to science? Calculus, statistics, sets, etc? If you choose a favorite math area, then you can look for something in astrophysics that uses that. Just brainstorming a little for you JQ.:eek2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay-qu Posted May 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 much appreciated :eek2: I can do pure maths if I want, but I would much rather applied. I dont mind differential maths Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigDog Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Look into Uncle Al's superconductor idea. http://hypography.com/forums/physics-mathematics/5948-room-temperature-superconductor.html http://hypography.com/forums/chemistry/6059-room-temp-supercon-more.html He has sent me some more information by PM as well. Give him shout if you are interested in this stuff. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay-qu Posted May 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 cool, file that in the maybe pile, bit worried about the lack of the maths side of it.. It is a maths subject (within the science faculty) and it happens to lend itself to astrophysics and the like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim_Lou Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 if you want some astrophysics problem... maybe the 3-body problem or relativistic 2-body problem? they are both famous unsolved problem.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 Perhaps a statistical review of NEOs (Near Earth Objects); it's quite the hot topic these days with plenty of unaswered questions.:dead: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay-qu Posted May 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 cool and cool :ebluehair I have plenty to think about now, thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
