Thanks for your response. My current degree centres around theoretical and computational physics, so my physics and maths skills are already quite high. I have done plenty of work with ODEs, separable solutions of PDEs (through quantum mechanics) and computational estimates with PDEs, so I will...

Hi. I'm heading to the University of Hong Kong this year to complete my bachelor of science in physics. I should be finishing next semester but the scholarship allows me to spend a year studying in Hong Kong. Hence I have more electives to choose. I'm interested in doing a Masters degree in...

Hi, The centrifugal force is a fictitious force used in non-inertial reference frames. In general, it is given by $$ F_{\text{centrifugal}} = m\textbf{w} \times (\textbf{w}\times\textbf{r}). $$ Here, ## \textbf{w} ## is the angular velocity of the rotating reference frame and ## \textbf{r} ##...
