I am here with 4 textbooks and 10+ browser tabs open in front of me, trying to come up with a way to explain the Poincarรฉ-Cartan integral invariant to (Physics) students in a way that actually makes sense.
So far I am failing.

The postbac I am mentoring has thus far applied to a 18 PhD programs (a reasonable precaution right now), 13 of which have fees for a total cost of $1,001 (AVG = 77ยฑ20, max=105, min=30).
