    Studying How Can I Improve My Vector Calculus Skills for Classical Mechanics?

    Sorry, I made a mistake lol. We just call the entire first year sequence mechanics here. And I took one semester of Modern Physics which included Special Relativity and quantum mechanics. I have also taken a few labs.

    Studying How Can I Improve My Vector Calculus Skills for Classical Mechanics?

    I think a big problem I have is visualizing and identifying force fields and how they work ; especially in relation to setting up line integrals when given some vector field and parametrizing it to solve for work done. Thanks for asking these questions as well; you are assisting me in ways I...

    Studying How Can I Improve My Vector Calculus Skills for Classical Mechanics?

    Calculus 1-3 with Stewart's calculus, DiffEQ with Jiri Lebl's notes, and I took introductory mechanics using University Physics by Hugh D Young and Freedman.

    Studying How Can I Improve My Vector Calculus Skills for Classical Mechanics?

    Sorry, I didn't. I haven't had an upper division course in electricity and magnetism. And I mean, I think my calculus skills are just rusty in general. I am using Taylor's classical mechanics, which doesn't really do too much vector calculus except for the line integrals with calculating work...

    Studying How Can I Improve My Vector Calculus Skills for Classical Mechanics?

    Hello to all, I am looking for a little bit of advice/guidance here. I am a third year physics undergraduate. Just beginning to take classical mechanics, and I do feel a bit out of place in the class. I feel like my vector calculus skills are far too underdeveloped/rusty for the course I am...
