Thanks i'll check it out!

Hello, I'm studying for an admision exam and i found that De Lange-Pierrus "Solved Problems in Classical Mechanics" is really useful. Could you recommend books like that for electrodynamics and calculus (single and multivariable)? I already have an advanced level on physics and maths, i just...

No one? sorry for the self-bump

Hello everyone, I'm currently in the third year of my ME degree in Argentina. For the last 2 years I've had the intention of doing the last 2 years in the Balseiro Institute, the most prestigious institution in physics in Argentina. But, despite i really want it, I'm not 100% sure about it. I...

Oh i see, so, with the matrix i chose, T(v_1)=u_1+u_2, T(v_2)=u_3 and T(v_3)=u_4. Well that does make sense now. And since they will be clearly linearly independant, the proof that T is injective is rather obvious.

YEY, i feel relieved :) and what do you mean with "all you probably needed to do was say what T does to the basis vectors in β1"? is a=x, b=x, c=y, d=z \ \forall \ (x,y,z)∈V \ and \ (a,b,c,d)∈U wrong? as you can see, i have more problems finding out what i need to do, rather than doing it I...

Homework Statement Today in my final i was given this exercise: Given β_1=\{v_1,v_2,v_3\} and β_2=\{u_1,u_2,u_3,u_4\}, basis of the vector spaces V and U respectively. a) Find the linear transformation T:U\rightarrow V so that T(v_i)≠T(v_j) if i≠j, T(v_1)=u_1+u_2 and T is injective b) Find...

Thanks, i'll check it out now! I'm mainy looking for elastic bahaviour and some (just a little) thermodynamics, so Holzapfel's sounds good!

I was seaching mechanics of materials books, but i need them to be tensor based. Any sugestions?

Those are things i question myself. To be straight, I'm mainly interested in investigation. So in ME that would be design, for exapmple, vs. the whole spectra of possibilities that a physics major offer. And my goal is to achieve at least a masters (although a phD is what i want), being in...

Bieng honest, the main thing i was considering today is, what are the options of a ME with a physics degree? and a NE with a physics degree?

Southern american over here, so my march-july semester would be the equivalent i guess. So: Physics 4 (Optics and QM, pretty totally exited about this one) Thermodynamics(awesome subject, horrible proffesor) Applied Mechanics(just regular mechanics applied to machines) Computational Methods...

Thank both for the income. I'm guessing that Griffiths is the best choice now, although I'm still interested in Townsend or Sakurai. And i have to take a deeper look int Nouredine Zettili contents. Thanks!

Well, difficulty is not what I'm worried about, i always thinked that the point is giving the very best and not being afraid of challenges

Well, more than "if I'm qualified for a physics degree" is "doubting about it over engineering"
