    Should i still do math if i am not the next Euler?

    The only person that can truly judge your commitment to science is you, instead of comparisons, tell us what are working on right now? is there a subject that truly captures your attention and passion to the extent of selfless dedication? perhaps it is your soul which needs guidance, good luck :)

    What Are the Key Properties of Non-Linear Water Waves?

    I think I wasn't explicit enough, but now I've succesfully solved my own troubles; I am treating this as an Inverse Scattering Transform on a non linear homogenous partial diff. with respect to frequency

    What Are the Key Properties of Non-Linear Water Waves?

    Cheers I am currently studying non-linearity properties of hydrodynamic waves from a purely mathematical stance. At the moment, I am concerned with radiation, modulational instability described by korteweg-De Vries equation (fifth order) and Spatial Instabilities and chaos in a high order...

    My Journey: A 25 Y/O Physics and Math Student to Computer Engineer

    Thanks so much, I am currently visiting my parents. And have felt a bit nostalgic, I read over my teacher reviews and got depresssed (my senior year was the worst), I have no idea how I got an IB Diploma. I was a terrible student. One of my professors (Chemistry PhD from Cambridge) said: 'it is...

    Best way to study physics on my own?

    My advice is to live a little during the summer you only get to live once.

    Verifying Lie Bracket for Vector Fields on U

    What I am trying to do is prove mathematically the existence of vector fields on open subsets of \textbf{R}^{n}. Assuming the tangent space and vector fields lie on differentiable manifold M. Identifying these vector fields would allow me to start defining the tangent vectors on the manifold...

    Verifying Lie Bracket for Vector Fields on U

    I have another question though: How can I verify the lie bracket of two vector fields on a manifold using the method you transcribed?

    How Does Quantum Mechanics Connect with Consciousness?

    check out David Bohm's recorded conversations (I forget the name) w/ Jiddu Krishnamurti. Then read up David Bohm's 'On Dialogue' and my favorite, 'On Creativity'. Have fun! :)

    My Journey: A 25 Y/O Physics and Math Student to Computer Engineer

    hi all, A little bit about myself: I am a sophomore at a small private university. I am about to finish my last quarter. My major is Physics and Mathematics. I plan on moving back home: Florida, to pursue a Computer Engineering degree. I am 25 years old. I graduated from a good High...

    Proving Lines Contain Exactly n Points in an Affine Plane of Order n

    Hi, I will try to help you out :) Lets consider an n-dimensional Euclidean space E_{n} and by means of abstraction we develop the algebra of general affine tensors. An orthonormal system e_{j} in E_{n} consists of n mutually orthogonal unit vectors. Any orthonormal system...

    Verifying Lie Bracket for Vector Fields on U

    oh, thank you, I believe I got incredibly confused by trying to relate the 0-forms to any p-form. e.g: let's say i have a linear map D: \Lambda^{p}U \rightarrow \Lambda^{p+d}U if I were to take a graded derivation of \Lambda\U of degree d \in Z if it satisfies, D(\varphi \wedge \Psi ) = (...

    Verifying Lie Bracket for Vector Fields on U

    If we have vect (u) which denotes an infinite-dimensional vector space of all vector fields on u. As infinitesimal elements of the continuous group of Diff(u) they form a Lie Algebra. We then can define the bracket of two vector fields in v and w. If in coordinates: v = \sum_{i}V i...
