computerages Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 hi every1~! I am a junior at high school, and I was thinking about doing intel project in physics over the summer. But I am not sure what should be the thesis of my project. I want my project to be completely theoretical; I may however use some experimental data to support my thesis. One reason for that I don't have any fancy machines to carry out the experiments by myself. So, do you guys have any idea as what I should look into? What should be the topic of my thesis? And idea/advice would be appreciated. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecoli Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 Most high schools kids I know don't have the math skills to do any theorhetical work, especially not by themselves. As I tell everyone on this site who is looking for an Intel project... FIND A MENTOR!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
computerages Posted June 24, 2006 Author Share Posted June 24, 2006 I contacted a few people over at NYU. Most of them did not reply, and one who did said the work he does is not handleable by a high school student. So, I don't think I could find a mentor who really can help me as my recent tries were unsuccessful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajb Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 I don't think you will be able to do any original work. Do you know about differential equations and how to solve them numerically? If so, a nice project could be to solve the time-independant Schrodinger equation for some well-known potentials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
