[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To add: a lot of physics research is either theoretical, which requires an extremely advanced mathematical and physics background (i.e. lots of grad courses in undergrad) or experimental, requiring some extremely expensive equipment that only a large university's department can afford. It's hard to build the requisite background for either as a LAC student. Also, even Williams' tutorials are on predefined undergrad topics, rather than being up to the student and professor like an independent study, so it still has the same ceiling issue.[/quote] Nope. You can do advanced research in math and even physics without equipment beyond the budget of an LAC, the best of which have similar endowments per student as the best universities, except it is all directed towards students undergrads at the LACs.
