So this is the required text next semester for my mechanics class. I've read some reviews that there are a lot of errors in the book. Any truth to this?
Congrats on the good grades.
From what I understand about transfer admissions along with good grades an important part of your application is your essay on why you want to transfer. Because admissions for transfer is so competitive this because very important.
So, your grades certainly...
So imagine you are staring at a two separate photons. Instantaneously, you jump into the frame of one of the photons. Would you then observe the other photon moving at c? They wouldn't appear at rest, right? Is there something fundamentally wrong with my set up that gets in the way of thinking...
I don't think you understood quite what I was getting at. Obviously there is a lot of overlap but in physics of the main subfields today plasma does not involve a lot of QM when compared to other fields that are almost exclusively QM. MHD is pretty much a classical model and it's working wel...
It's interesting you mention QM and Plasmas, mainly because they are about as far apart as two subfields of physics can be.
That said, the recommended books are good but may be a bit above your current level. Pick up a book on vector calculus (...
I find I'm pretty successful when I take the time to read the book the night before lecture and look over my notes afterwards. That keeps everything fresh in my mind.
A: What is the general form the wave function must have for this potential? What are the boundary conditions (i.e. what does psi look like at the edge of the potential)? Think about wavelength in relation to the length of the box. So now that you have psi go back to schroedingers time...
Shay: That 20/20 was on a totally unrelated topic. It was disucssing the policy at the University of Texas to grant students automatic admissions to their school if you 1) are a state resident and 2) are in the top 10%. They were filling most of the incoming class that way (controversially) so...
