Hi, I would like to know if anyone has good ideas for problems involving calculus of variations, other than the classic textbook questions (brachistochrone, Fermat, catenary, etc..) that I could create as a classical mechanics class project? Thank you

Of course not, I just wanted to let you know that if you really wanted you could access that field even if it is not included directly in the program. It is perfect for any field of physics, of course more on the applied side, from quantum optics to nuclear engineering. You'll see it when you'll...

Go in Engineering Science, and take Engineering Physics I really believe it is the best choice. I am a first year Engineering Physics Student at École Polytechnique in Montreal. Historically, half of the students in E.Phys go to graduate school while the other half become engineers. First...

Thank you micromass it seems to be exactly what I'm looking for!

Hello everyone. I am looking for a technical book covering the great breakthroughs of mathematics that would also be a good introduction to a variety of fields. The perfect book seems to be 'God Created the Integers: The Mathematical Breakthroughs That Changed History' by Stephen Hawking, but...
