Ah, sorry I misread that post.
It does sound like that is the kind of degree you want to do and it certainly will give you a wide range of knowledge in engineering which could only give you more options in the future.
If that's the kind of work you want to do (and want to be a professor) then that degree sounds like a good fit. I would still talk to some professors at the school though even if it has to be through email. Most departments have an undergraduate officer so that would be a good place to start.
Yeah that looks like its covers a wide range of engineering applications of a bunch of areas of physics.
If I were you I would talk to some of the professors in the engineering department. They would be able to give you a much better explanation of everything. It does look like a degree geared...
The impression I get from a quick look around is engineering physics is an engineering degree with an extra focus in more advanced physics and mathematics that one would not normally see in an ordinary engineering degree.
Based on that I get a feeling its more geared towards people who want...
Get Boas for now. Arfken is more of a reference book for physicists.
If you're really serious about learning more mathematics then the best book I've seen that teaches advanced mathematics to physicists is Baez's "Gauge Fields, Knots, and Gravity". Its an advanced book and you could at least be...
Hello everyone!
I'm looking for an advanced quantum mechanics textbook. I've taken several undergrad quantum courses, but since starting my masters and taking grad courses in noncommutative geometry, functional analysis, and gauge theory to name a few I feel unsatisfied with the level of...
Thanks for the reply!
I was looking at getting Pathria.
Shroeder is the required text for the Thermodynamics course required at MUN which was a pain because I really hated how little discussion or derivation was actually in each chapter. I mean, less than 100 pages for an entire section on...
Okay it looks like I'm going to go with:
Introduction to Geometry, Coxeter
Introductory Functional Analysis, Kreyszig
Topology, Munkrees
Abstract Algebra, Dummit and Foote
Anyone know any good Stat Mech texts or Quantum Mechanics/Quantum Field Theory? I've been told Ryder is a good QFT...
Thanks for the recommendations so far. I recognize most of those books from what other people have mentioned/what is used in the undergrad courses at MUN. I was also thinking about Functional Analysis and Exterior Calculus if anyone can think of a good text for these subjects.
Hello everyone!
I am currently finishing up my Applied Math/Physics Joint Honors degree and I'm moving on to a M.Sc. in mathematics focusing in relativity (University of New Brunswick does relativity research through the mathematics department).
I am looking to focus as a mathematical...
