9:56 Andrew did you change your wallpaper on your computer to the flat Earth society logo on purpose just to see if any of your viewers would notice when you panned your camera there for half a second? If so I got you
@thecommunistpotato it wasn't until recently that i was able to go, because of financial problems, but I was offered 80 percent of my tuition to be covered, so I applied.
Hey andrew, I love this weekly physics vlog. You are showing how physics phd students works abroad. In the Philippines we are different, we have to finish Masters first before going to PhD. I also dreamt to be a PhD student outside our country. Please continue this Gradschool Phlog. Goodluct to our grad school (Masters in my case) journey.
2 things: watching this i almost feel insanely motivated to go do my homework on the definitions of a limit. And since youre a TA, i can actually now imagine the daily lives of the TA’s here at my university. I also did the same type of lab experiment last semester. We collided pucks then we did momentum calculations with the video we took. So far studying physics has been quie awesome. This semester my prof is the particle physics head and also the HOD for physics, and he’s showed us things like how the particle accelerator works at tuks.
I'm not even majoring in physics( have to take 2 intro physics courses tho) and I have to say I really look forward to and enjoy watching your videos. Your passion for what you are studying just radiates through your videos. You're a true inspiration, man. Keep it up.
Late to this since I some how had a final due already. But I love this! This accurately depicts grad student life and I cannot wait to see more vlogs. Anyone considering grad school should definitely watch this and future ones to really get an idea of what grad life is like and how different it really can be from undergrad
Doing weekly vlogs is a GREAT idea!! Vlogs are enjoyable to watch hahahaha such as paige and Holly's vlogs. Keep it up! Can't wait to watch your vlogs too 😁
Thank you so much for this video! I am about to go to grad school in a very different program but just seeing what your schedule and workload is like is really helpful
Good luck ailey! If you have any questions about grad school, feel free to send them our way too. Our Oxford crew of physicists are now reaching out to help the youtube community. :)
The end of your video where you go into the dessert was completely unpexted. I thought the amount of work had gotten to you for a minute and you had just decided to depart from civilazion for a bit. It was such a weird rabbit hole train of thought. Love the video.
I know why you kept bringing up that you didn’t have homework. I do it all the time. It’s because deep down you truly couldn’t believe that you didn’t have anything.
Hey Andrew, Loved the vlog. Keep up the great work! I noticed that you got some new wipes, but just wanted to let you know about some other whiteboard markers that I've been using for a while now and like a lot better than the Expo ones. They are Pilot V-Board masters. I find that they erase much better and I rarely use spray to clean my board. They're also refillable which is a fantastic plus.
I really enjoyed this style and vlog type!! One suggestion I have tho is when you cut to a new day, put that it the transition. Another one, maybe a little trickier, is to have time stamps when you cut to different scenes so that we get a feel to how your day is progressing Otherwise, amazing job!!!
Love these vlog style videos. Think I found my new favorite Andrew Dotson style vids. I've really been thinking about making some sort of physics related channel myself. I love solving problems, and I've been thinking of maybe having some sort of problem solving channel. Such as working through the infamous Griffiths E&M problems or Quantum mechanics stuff and talking through step by step solutions to help out other students. While there are written solutions for many textbook problems online, Its always nice to have a voice behind that and explain the math in more detail.
Hey Andrew! You talked about good resources for Quantum Mechanics. Can you please list some. I am an undergraduate and Quantum Mechanics is round the corner.
@@imvk9696 Shankar! After that read Schiff. And after that read Sakurai. You should then be ready for QFT. Another great book is Messiah for historical and more classical info. Another superb elementary Intro to Quantum Mechanics is by Dicke and Wittke - out of print and very hard to find. Good luck and Best wishes!
I also am constantly swamped with stat mech homework. I vaguely relate to your struggle. Have you read Thermal Physics by Schroeder? It's at an undergrad level, but it's a good book on stat mech.
I am distinctly not a science person so getting a peek into this world is fascinating. Also finding the things that overlap between different majors and schools is really interesting as well, like the amount of second-guessing we do when we realize we don’t have actual homework for once. So from a theater major who has no idea what’s going on, this is awesome, and an insane amount of work, obviously. Keep on trucking, man 👍🏻👍🏻
With such a packed schedule, when do you get time to relax? And how do you spend that time? I wonder if you ever fall into those youtube blackholes and get stuck watching random stuff!? I'm very curious :\
Um, a little late here. I feel a part of Stat Mech is in sync with Monte Carlo methods. Alistair Sinclair's notes were quite helpful while studying Monte Carlo simulations.
Hey Andrew, I'm going to be starting my first year in grad school this September. I'm not currently in school so I have 6.5 months that I can use for preparation, and I'm sure I will be taking E&M, stat mech, and quantum. Any tips for how I can use my time wisely?

"I forgot how forgetful I am." -Andrew Dotson
For a minute I thought you were in India
😂😂immigrants
Me also
There does not exist any graduate physics program in the US which does not have international students from India and China.
Don't forget our dope ass gradstudents from nepal
Where all the italians and spaniards at
Literally half of our masters programmes are from southern europe
India + China make up 36% of the world's population
9:56 Andrew did you change your wallpaper on your computer to the flat Earth society logo on purpose just to see if any of your viewers would notice when you panned your camera there for half a second? If so I got you
Nirajan's hair is glorious.
I really like the editing style you decided on - it looks really great
Thanks a lot!
Im not even a physics major lol I just enjoy these vlog style videos. Keep it up!
That's some creepy ass username
bumperrrrr to bumperrrrr warantyyyy
Just applied to college. Chose physics as my major cus of you bro.
nice!

@@themultigamer5682 Hell yeah! Did you hear any news?
@@TechNewsAndReview101 yes I got in and they're paying 7000 for my major and grades.
The Multi Gamer How’s it going?
I was procrastinating all day but after watching you, you finally made me a productive boi
A student running away from Assignment..Are you a graduate student... really??
Yeah this has to be the first time anyone's ever done that ever
@EpicMathTime hahaha
I'm really enjoying the new 3 videos a week format! You seem to have the life of my dreams apparently. Keep up the good content!
Boltzman did more than bang his head against a wall for statistical mechanics, so I'd say you're doing alright!
ROASTED BOLTZMANN
Woah

Loved the video. Grad school looks both highly stressful but really enjoyable at the same time. I find it cool how you get your own office space😄
I'm so happy that you're doing vlogs! Glad you're finding a groove with this new schedule!

Although I do miss the daily uploads, this makes up for it. Keep it up Andrew!
I am from Dominican Republic, looking forward to start a Physics PhD next year, and definitely a new sub, I hope to see more of your content

So excited for this phlog! You’re one of my favorite youtubers. Keep up the good work bud
"No I just barely started, " -every physics major EVER
Super cool to see all the other TAs! I’m really enjoying this video format. Also, the research project seems like it should be cool.
Hmm I don't trust that Abishek guy. Looks like a real wildcard. A real loaded gun, that one.
That sounds like a norm joke lol
This was a great video!! Really fun to watch. Can’t wait to see what you come up with for future phlogs
OK GUYS. THIS. IS. EPIC. CAN WE HIT 9 MILLION LIKES
Outstanding video. Please keep them coming.

Dotson you made my sunday thank you, I wuv you!!!!!!!
12:13 a glimpse at the advanced maths that physicists have started using lately.. the fundamental theorem of engineering...

Already a fan of your weekly vlogs!
Really enjoyed this video. Something a bit refreshing
I know why you kept bringing up that you didn’t have homework. I do it all the time. It’s because deep down you truly couldn’t believe that you didn’t have anything.
We got our last exercises for two instead of one week. I had to ask at least 10 people, if we really have two weeks for that xD I couldn´t believe^^
I really like the weekly vlog format. Looking forward to more.
This is so awesome! I love the phlogs!

Good idea! Thanks!
I was thinking about doing this but for undergrad... I'll be starting in the fall semester.
edmund dont click on his profile
@@theonewind what
edmund u know exactly what i mean
I extra-recommend the Greiner Book! Its the best one for Stat Mech, i used it and it was the best book i've ever used
Everybody has bad hair days. Andrew has good hair days 😂
Awe thanks, I know
F. Mandl: Statistical Physics is very good book to start doing StatMech.

Cool video, as always!
Going to nmsu next school year. Really cool to see these vlogs
This is fantastic! I just subscribed.
I liked this new vlog style
9:56 Flat Earth Society? wtf?
Physics students these days 😲
I like this new upload “setup” a lot
I loved the video, and for some reason it was nice even though this is very similar to my own life haha
You inspire me, thank you!
The only thing I can say is... I loved this video
I love these type of vlog cheers
Love your videos!
Can't stop noticing that you are probably the only non indian in the room😂
Hey Andrew! You talked about good resources for Quantum Mechanics. Can you please list some. I am an undergraduate and Quantum Mechanics is round the corner.
You in one of your video said that you didn't like Griffith. So, Which book I should buy?

You legit make me continue with physics in grad school as well.
I went to grad school in physics at Washington State between 1990 and 1992, before you were born I would imagine. :)
I love this so much!
I love this! This was a great idea
Have you watched the Susskind stat mech lectures on yt?
ily Mr. Dotson
ily2
I also am constantly swamped with stat mech homework. I vaguely relate to your struggle. Have you read Thermal Physics by Schroeder? It's at an undergrad level, but it's a good book on stat mech.
Is Andrew wearing a utility kilt and a tribal double wolf shirt, all while sporting a pony tail of fiery red hair? Thats a roller coster of styles.
Loved it!
Your videos give me flashbacks.
This is great!
When you make the cuts, can you add the screen transition and sound from Super Mario World III? It'd make it easier to follow.
Sounds like some nice light reading.

lol he was definitely not packed, that's a light schedule and he isn't even doing research yet
Um, a little late here. I feel a part of Stat Mech is in sync with Monte Carlo methods. Alistair Sinclair's notes were quite helpful while studying Monte Carlo simulations.
It would be wonderful if you gradually start introducing your TA buddies to us in more detail.
Your office is nicer than mine.. all first year's are in the same room, about 20 people. Good and bad.
I'm here to rewatch my favorite anime
"I forgot how forgetful I am", if that ain't a mood lol
Great video! Waiting for more of such videos!
Can anyone please tell me what was the song that was being played in between?
It's kind of late, but you can try Huang's Stat Mech...
Yaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy I love these vids
Good stuff 👍
nice. inspiring.
They don't even give you a desktop to work with. O.O I can only work with screen of at least 27" in size.
This is fun!
Hey Andrew, I'm going to be starting my first year in grad school this September. I'm not currently in school so I have 6.5 months that I can use for preparation, and I'm sure I will be taking E&M, stat mech, and quantum. Any tips for how I can use my time wisely?
What kind of telescope was Kelly learning to use? I’m very curious.
I'm getting some casey neistat wibes over here
I am so happy!!!
Wow it was a good video.
Hey Andrew, what TeX editor do you use? I've been wanting to do the type-homework-up-in-LaTaX thing for a while now.
I use texstudio
@@AndrewDotsonvideos Thx!
This is so cool
So... Do you have homework due to this weekend ?
xD
My professor posted friday night lol
Can you show us the class when you have a lesson to attend???
now thats epic
