PPhDeezNutz reacted to PeterDonis's post in the thread I How do Tensors "work" in relation to linear algebraic objects? with
Like.
"Linear algebra" is not the same as "matrix algebra". Column vectors, row vectors, and matrices are just one possible representation of... -
PPhDeezNutz reacted to TensorCalculus's post in the thread Need a book on Modern Physics to supplement Griffiths QM with Like.
Definitely give Y&F a shot. I am a massive fan of that book: it basically taught me physics. No doubt that it is a really good textbook...

PPhDeezNutz reacted to wrobel's post in the thread I Adding total time derivative to Lagrangian/Canonical Transformations with Like.
Speaking formally, the theory of Lagrangian systems and the theory of Hamiltonian systems are independent. It is a bad idea to treat one...

PPhDeezNutz reacted to jtbell's post in the thread Why does physics keep a distance from philosophy? with Like.
We once had a philosophy forum which became overrun by "wild and woolly" ideas and discussions. One of the mentors, who had a lot of...
