    Programs Math courses for a Physics major (that aren't required)

    Thanks, I am going to look at the syllabi. Assuming that I can handle the extra work to understand real analysis and then next year topology, will the extra work be worth it? I am primarily interested in these courses for their own sake but it seems like it will be fairly difficult and for that...

    Programs Math courses for a Physics major (that aren't required)

    Thanks for the replies. I forgot to mention that there's a required statistics/thermodynamics course which I'm taking. I'm kind of leaning towards the complex variables because of the deeper understanding. I know that partial DEs are very useful but my differentials course covered some already...

    Programs Math courses for a Physics major (that aren't required)

    I'm going into my third year in Physics in fall and I have some room on schedule and would like to take some math courses beyond the requirements at my uni since I enjoy math and want to have a head start in graduate school. My school only required calculus (up to multivariable calc.)...

    I question the double-slit experiment:

    You're confused about Black body radiation and quantum excitation Quantum excitation is something that happens when a photon interacts with an electron of a FREE atom. Electrons act very differently when they're in some sort of rigid structure like a pure metal or (even worse) something more...

    I know, I failed, but here's a dinosaur. With a hat.

    I've given joke answers to questions I don't know since grade 9 (now second year undergrad). None of them are particularly funny. I have a standard formula, if it's a word problem I write something about aliens or worldwide conspiracies, and if it's calculation I (boringly) make up some laws or...
