    Math guidance for aspiring physicists/mathematicians

    Hi, I found this website particularly useful for enriching my sophomore physics coursework and looking up some topics that are beyond scope of undergrad physics core: http://www.staff.science.uu.nl/~Gadda001/goodtheorist/gr.html I wonder if there is anything like this for math? It's my second...

    Different forms of Schrodinger equation

    I got confused when in my book they went from one form of schrodinger equation to another. It doesn't make much sense to me algebraically, probably i have some lacks in complex numbers. Here are the equations: In the second one I think it's implied that above two equations give third and I...

    Background in waves required for quantum mechanics

    Atty, I have haha, I just wondered if there is any tool that stands out and is used by most mathematicians and physicists.

    Background in waves required for quantum mechanics

    Oh, one more question while I am at it, what tool would you guys recommend for integration? My calculator does not have CAS so I tried using MATLAB but I think there might be better programs, can you think of any?

    Background in waves required for quantum mechanics

    In case I want to get an early start on PDEs or look up references, would you recommend any easily accessible resource? Thanks.

    Background in waves required for quantum mechanics

    Thanks for the link. The complementary modern physics book I will use in my course suggests getting familiar with continuum mechanics before looking into Schrodinger equation and I have struggled to understand a bit the background on it provided there since the book is just an mathematical...

    Background in waves required for quantum mechanics

    I have done the elementary linear algebra, right now looking to learn some more about waves and oscillations.

    Background in waves required for quantum mechanics

    Hi, I would appreciate suggestion which chapters from French's "Waves and Vibrations" (https://www.amazon.com/dp/8123909144/?tag=pfamazon01-20) and Norton's "Optics" (https://www.amazon.com/dp/0805385665/?tag=pfamazon01-20) need to be done to understand introductory quantum mechanics...

    Getting ahead on material during sophomore year in physics

    Incorrect, I am not looking for attention, I just want to get a bit ahead because I like physics, not that bad to pay for a tutor. Also, I am taking the most advanced classes I can. Will appreciate more feedback.

    Getting ahead on material during sophomore year in physics

    I have reviewed the material covered during my sophomore year and although it does not seem like a joke freshman year was, it shouldn't be very challenging either, it includes introductions to modern physics and waves with 2 labs and mathematically linear algebra, diffyq and vector calc. If I...
