Thanks a lot lethe, that should give me a good start. As for math, you are correct, we topped out at basic diff eq., linear algebra. Most of the math I see used in the String/Quantum stuff literally looks like greek to me:smile: .
I have my bachelors in Mechanical Engineering from Cornell and have taken three semesters of Physics. I have a good knowledge up to the subject of basic quantum physics.
I am new to most all of the concepts in modern theoretical physics. What are the must read books to start off with to develop a basic understanding of the basic principles of modern theoretical physics.
This has to be false, use common sense. Our current generation, "The Hip Generation", won't talk like this idiot did. His post would be more, like fo shizzle, ya'll be some wacked fools to believe all dis hype, you know wat I'm sayin:). Note the shortening of words and the continuing trend...
