Thanks a lot.

No worries..I tried today and I couldn't find any forms to fill out even after I clicked "forms"..so you are not alone. However, please let us know if the link works again; I'll do the same.

I agree with moo. Also, the math background of a well-trained theoretical chemist is no worse than a physicist. You should have a lot of experiences with quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics, and thermodynamics, except that the problems that you dealt with were applied to chemical problems. Also, normal chemistry students don't have too much experience in the relativity theories and probably not as much experience in classical physics; these two are probably the main areas that you would like to strengthen. What area of physics are you interested in? have you thought about the chemical physics program in the US? It is quite common that a chemical physics PhD program is in the CHEMISTRY department, or sometimes, a joint program by both physics and chemisry departments.

For your second question, the tuition will depend on the no. of ciredits you wish to take in a quarter. You probably might have read this already, but according to page 8 of "A Guide for new Graduate Students", for 11-18 credits, the 9-month tuition for a graduate engineering student is $35184 and $46912 for 12 months.

Law students don't have the same schedule..I believe they pay by semesters, not quarters, and a semester is longer than a quarter.

Yes, I received the housing guide and the guide for new graduate students at the end of March. I did not have to print any required form. However, since it is kinda late already, I would go ahead and print the forms you need now.

I have sent mine in almost two weeks ago and still haven't got the ID. I wouldn't worry about it yet though.

This is indirect, but it works. You can check your SUID in the housing application site; you can see your SUID after you click "submit application".

Be very careful. It is illegal to get paid by students if you are holding a F-1 visa unless you have a work permit (OPT/CPT). You can, however, work on campus and be paid by your school.

Yes, I do and I have just finished the application online yesterday. I hope I won't have to share a bathroom with the whole floor...

Do you have a digital camera? What I did was I took a picture of me by myself, developed the picture and cut it into the right dimensions.

What's the math camp? Who can join?

I would at least send the student ID card form first as they want it ASAP. Also, don't forget the housing application if you are interested. It is coming up soon.

Why don't we start a new thread for the new Stanford students? This thread should talk about housing (application/asking for roommate(s)..etc), I-20 form if you are international, whether you have received the Student ID card...etc...or anything at Stanfy! Let me start first...I am going for the Chemistry PhD in the area of physical chemistry/chemical physics... I am sending the forms required for acceptance TODAY... I know the housing application doesn't start until 4/21.

Is it 18?

First of all, Comp, I will reply to your email soon, maybe tomorrow or Monday. For this question, you don't have to know what a and b are. The most important part is they are both integers. By the pythagorean theorem, a^2 + b^2 = c^2 Since, a and b are both integers, the sum of their squares, c^2, has to be also an integer. Now, let me reword the question a little bit: which of the following INTEGER CANNOT be represented as a sum of the squares of two integers? A) 37 = 6^2 + 1^2 B) 29 = 5^2 + 2^2 D) 20 = 4^2 + 2^2 E) 13 = 3^2 + 2^2 Only C is not possible to be expressed in terms of the sum of the squares of two integers. Therefore, C is the ans.

non-negative means >=0 (great than or EQUAL to 0) Sqrt(0) is well defined and equal to zero.

Correction: The bottom line is the square root of a non-negative number is always non-negative.

No, not at all. ETS catches things like that.

No, this is a very common misconception. People are often confused with these two cases: 1) if x^2=4, then x= +sqrt(4)=2 or -sqrt(4)=-2 2) Sqrt(4)= +2 always, never -2. The bottom line is the square root of a non-negative number is always positive.

The question is asking for how many x seconds in that country, the net increase of the total population is 1. We know the birth rate- A new person is born in 3 seconds We know the death rate - A person is dead in 10 seconds. Isn't the difference of the two rates tells us the population growth (expressed as persons/seconds). Then, all we have to do is to express the population growth in the form of 1 person / x seconds. This way, it tells us exactly "how many x seconds in that country, the net increase of the total population is 1". Solve for x.

Yes, it is the difference. Here is how I would attack the problem:

Rethink about this statement. Do you really add them to get the population growth? Also, for "3 + 10 = (1/x)", you have to worry about the units. Your left-hand side is seconds and your right-hand side is person/seconds. They cannot be equal.

yes x mod y means what the REMAINDER is when x is divided by y, where y is not equal to 0. Therefore, for example, 10^2 mod 11 = 100 mod 11 = 1, since 100=9*11 +1 (remainder is 1).

5n= the square of a number it is not difficult to see n=5. 75*n*p =75*5*p =3*5*5*5*p =3*p*5^3=the cube of a number. In order to get a cube, all the prime components (i.e. 3 and 5 here) have to be to the 3rd power. Therefore, the smallest number for p is 3^2 =9. Therefore, n+p= 5 +9 =14 (A).
