    Programs Is it possible to take grad math courses in a PhD physics program?

    Program? I am an Australian student, may think about studying in America (saw video of Andrew Dottson mentioning it), in the future. Is it possible to take grad maths courses, e.g. algebraic topology/geometry, complex analysis, representation-theory/lie-groups, PDEs, Measure Theory, Functional...

    Can I become a theoretical physicist?

    I guess so and cheers for your response. So is it then viable for me to say that I'm a 'physicist' (stemming from a postgrad in mathematical physics)? Does particle physics have a lot of integral calculus? because I like integrals.

    Can I become a theoretical physicist?

    With an undergrad degree in Applied Mathematics and Meteorology (school has no quantum field theory; didn't to study it and its extensive lab classes). And then do a masters degree in Mathematical Physic afterwards do a PhD in Mathematical Physics? Will I then be a theoretical physicist or a...

    Who is Your Favorite Physicist and Why? A Discussion on Scientific Role Models

    Richard Feynman for his path integral formulation. Also Maxwell for his amazing equations. I do have a fetish for integrals (which most people studying mathematics at uni would consider it cute whereareas their doing abstract algebra and heavy proof work). I like proof work as well. Still going...

    Math, Physics, and Engineering: Bridging the Gap

    Even-though mathematicians regard themselves at the pinnacle or the http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=2330021&p=-1&# of all sciences they too are interested in partaking research areas in physics, e.g. topological quantum field theory, lie groups in quantum systems, ..., etc...

    Programs Indecisive with a dual major Science and Engineering

    Thanks dude. What do you think would complement well with EE? Theoretical Physics or Applied Mathematics?

    Programs Indecisive with a dual major Science and Engineering

    I live in Australia. I'm a science student wanting to transfer into a double degree program. Some science and engineering units cross-over.

    Programs Indecisive with a dual major Science and Engineering

    Hey guys, Science I want to major in either applied mathematics or theoretical physics. I know it sounds cute to most real mathematicians but I love solving integrals (serious) and even in my free time I print out sheets at home and do numerous of weird integral calculus problems. However, I...

    So do you think using modern physics creates new areas in mathematics?

    My bad I didn't worded it to properly just got to excited. I think calculus was invented by Isaac Newton to find out the gravity problem and he had the physical application in mind but the mathematics behind it was missing. I think it had been mentioned that physics and maths were once born...

    So do you think using modern physics creates new areas in mathematics?

    Hello people, I just joined the physics forum and it's great to see that they're other physics enthusiasts on the internet! The reason why modern physics is appreciable for me is that it creates new areas in mathematics like this for example brought up from Michio Kaku... "String theory...
