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...

Thanks I completely forgot about it haha

I got confused when in my book they went from one form of Schrödinger 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...

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

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?

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

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

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

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...

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.

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...
