Hi - I was wondering what the most valuable graduate courses would be for an undergraduate to take. I am interested in condensed matter and high energy both theory; I still haven't decided which I like more. I've taken everything in the standard ugrad coursework (from em to stat mech to...

Question: What's next for me? What should I learn next in physics and math? (I want a career in theoretical physics - phd route). I've learned: Physics: Newtonian Mech w/ calc, Griffith's Intro to Electrodynamics, Goldstein's classical mechanics, griffith's intro to quantum mechanics...

Sorry I probably should have clarified. I took AP Physics C: Mechanics last year and am taking AP Physics C: E/M on Monday. In order to do this I have had to teach myself several topics from AP Calc BC. (I got a 5 on mechanics - let's hope that I can pull off a 5 for E/M) Still thank you for...

Thank you for your response! :). The reason why I ranked Latin first is I am short 1 year for foreign language for my college apps. I think, after looking at various posts about MIT/Caltech/etc., that 2 years of Latin would suffice for college admission into more Math/Science focused schools...

I have two main questions: 1. What's next? I have taken several physics courses(covered both mechanics, E/M, wave motion, fluid dynamics, and special relativity) in my high school career. I want to know what i can learn next? (preferably not quantum) The reason I ask is because I love...
