Have you tried it? You can set this up geometrically and then solve. What do you get stuck on? If you know any complex analysis there is even easier way.

That's not how it would work.

Self studying taylor does nothing for that. Phd applications are about one thing, your GPA, your undergraduate research, and your letters of rec. Self studying taylor checks zero of those boxes. You want to do it anyway? Knock yourself out. It's a very simple book.

I mean you still haven't been able to answer a simple question. Why? What part of self studying Taylor gets you any closer to your goals? I can let you know that it just doesn't.

It's the kind of question asking you why? I didn't ask you why there might be tons of reasons, I asked why you want to. Why Taylor? You're getting the wrong degree if you want an easy path to an applied physics phd program, especially one that's concerned with mechanics.

Why? You're trying to become an EE. Mechanics beyond what you'll study in engineering physics series is pointless to you. You're much much better off using whatever free time you'd be spending doing this and either doing one of your hobbies or looking for relevant internships or investing more...

You need to be specific on what kind of phase you're talking about. Like @PeterDonis said: A single pure state has no physical absolute phase, since a pure state is a ray in Hilbert space, ##|\gamma\rangle## and ##e^{i\theta}|\gamma\rangle## are the same physical state. A physically meaningful...

There are classical mechanical formalisms based on Hilbert spaces like this: Koopman–von Neumann classical mechanics.

It would all make more sense if whole milk was just called 3% milk or something.

Hardware recommendations are here: Hardware Recs. Basically any integrated graphics chip that supports WebGL 2.0 will work. You definitely don't need a dedicated graphics card like a RTX5050.

Grade inflation is a problem everywhere : https://www.gradeinflation.com/ Personally, I think it's detrimental for students sense of accomplishment and understanding of the material being taught, but as long as grad schools and medical schools use GPA as the primary filter there will be this...

Don't post any Zenodo links. If you get it published you can post and discuss.

Huh, this is just untrue. Works are published and peer reviewed to add to the body of human knowledge. Also, arxiv is a repository, not a publication.

That's not what the forum is for.

When you let AI write your question for you it just becomes muddy about what you're actually trying to ask or what you really understand.
