In summary, a student is struggling with understanding tensors and differential spaces while studying quantum mechanics. They are looking for resources on basic Minkowski space and are directed to several websites including a list of online mathematics resources and a comprehensive treatment of Minkowski space.

Hello all. I've been studying QM for some time, and it's going well but it is lacking mostly because I'm having a very difficult time grasping the finer points of tensors and differential spaces. Let me start with this - could someone please kind of give me, or direct me toward, a tour of basic Minkowski space? I would be greatly appreciative.

well here are all the websites i use for tensor calculus, etc.:

[PLAIN]http://people.hofstra.edu/faculty/Stefan_Waner/diff_geom/tc.html[/PLAIN]

those two are pretty good and fairly rigorous. If you go to:

You will find many links to online mathematics resources. Look under geometry for differential geometry, there is some good stuff there, and under mathematical physics as well.

For the best treatment of MInkowski space that i have found online yet go to:

Related to Request for help and/or comments

1. How do I request help or comments on my scientific research?

To request help or comments on your scientific research, you can reach out to colleagues, mentors, or experts in your field. You can also post your request on online forums or social media platforms specifically for scientists.

2. When is the appropriate time to ask for help or comments on my research?

The appropriate time to ask for help or comments on your research is when you have a clear understanding of your research question, have conducted a thorough literature review, and have some preliminary data or results. This will allow others to provide more specific and valuable feedback.

3. How can I ensure that I receive constructive feedback on my research?

To ensure you receive constructive feedback on your research, be specific about what you are seeking help or comments on. Clearly state your research question, methodology, and any specific areas you would like feedback on. Also, be open to criticism and use it as an opportunity to improve your research.

4. Is it appropriate to ask for help or comments from someone outside of my field of study?

It is not uncommon to seek help or comments from someone outside of your field of study, as they can provide a fresh perspective and offer insights that someone within your field may not have. However, it is important to consider the expertise and relevance of the person you are seeking help from.

5. How should I respond to feedback and comments on my research?

When receiving feedback and comments on your research, it is important to remain open-minded and consider the suggestions provided. Thank the person for their feedback and take the time to carefully evaluate and incorporate it into your research if appropriate. If you have any questions or concerns about the feedback, it is also appropriate to follow up with the person and have a discussion about it.
