I am learning that now! It's rather interesting! What about Real Analysis, Complex Analysis, Abstract Algebra, Lie Theory, Differential Geometry, Calculus of Variations,etc?

Awesome, I have got those down. Say I want to go into HEP/CondensedMatter/Astro/Nuclear (all theory)?

Hello everyone, How much math should I know like the back of my hand before I go to grad school, so that I am not barred from a field because I don't know enough math. I am not sure what field of physics I want to go into. I will probably be in theory though. (I am doing research in theory...

Hello everyone, How far can the book take me before I have to read another book on the subject? Thanks :)

Hi everyone, What chapters in Shankar do I HAVE to read before I can understand Scattering Theory?

Sadly that integral is undoable. I may have forgot to mention the function I am trying to transform is spherically symmetric. If that helps.

Hi everyone! How do I transform Momentum to Position in spherical coordinates?Thinker301

If I read and work through Rudin's PMA or Real Mathematical Analysis by Pugh, what in Spivak's Calculus am I missing? I have learned Calc 1-3 satisfactorily. Thanks!

Hmm, so I already know SV Calculus except I am a weak on my integration techniques, and from the test, my intuition isn't too bad. I guess I will just start with Kleppner. Should I learn some MV first and brush up on my integration techniques. If I should, where would be the quickest place to...

Thank you all! I do have some knowledge, but it's mostly from Youtube videos and such. What do you think of "Six Ideas That Shaped Physics" goal? http://www.physics.pomona.edu/sixideas/sipref.html Also if I do take a different intro book, should I go back to Kleppner or just move on?

Hey everybody! I was wondering if it's reasonable to use Kleppner as my first time learning physics? (Self-Study) Also what are all your opinions of Feynman's Lectures of Physics (with the problem book) as an intro, if Kleppner is over the top? Thank you! With my heart on my sleeve, The Thinker

So Kleppner and Morin are meant for the same audience?

I have choice between using Kleppner then doing Morin right after or using some quick intro to mechanics then Morin, what do you guys think? Thank you for your input :) With my heart on my sleeve, The Thinker

Hmm I see your point. Of course I could work on trying create "exotic matter". Do you think as the idea becomes more plausible, more organizations would fund it?

I have read up on Alcubierre Drive before. (why I made this post) I didn't read the Wiki until now though. Interesting stuff. Thanks for showing it to me! :)
