    Struggling in Mathematical Physics: Should I Quit? Advice and Insights

    I hear ya... Having done three years of physics/math myself, there are times when I share your thoughts exactly. Yes, physics is hard. The course load is heavy, and there are days (most) when I can't keep up with the prof and scribble notes blindly, hoping to make some sense of them later. At...

    Would a digital multimeter contain an A/D system?

    In the lab for my physics course we're using a Vernier "A/D system" to collect/transmit data from the experiment sensor to the computer for analysis. It's my first time using one, and we weren't told anything about it. In this sense does A/D mean "analog to digital" converter? Would a digital...

    Does the Correspondence Principle Confirm Equal Probability in Quantum Systems?

    Homework Statement For a particle in a one-dimensional box of length a, I am attempting to find the probability that the particle will be located between 0 and a/4, in the limit of large quantum numbers. Homework Equations The Correspondence Principle states that quantum mechanical systems may...
