    Mathematics & Ethics: Is Pursuing Beauty Useless?

    Despite the materialistic applications mathematical research is unique in its own way and as William Thruston quotes it is the quest for human understanding of mathematics rather than just looking after some limited applications.It also seems very likely that having understood much of the things...

    Graduate Is There a Logical Derivation for Einstein's Field Equations?

    well explained for that particular case@Altabeh But in search for a second order symmetric tensor for the RHS which should contain the material property can we precisely prove that there exists only one such tensor?? is my question too vague??

    sorry if i sound stupid...is noethers theorem essential to say that stress energy tensor is divergence free?? :-8

    Graduate Is There a Logical Derivation for Einstein's Field Equations?

    yes Ben,what u said is absolutely true,in my previous post i assumed equivalance principle and i was talking about the formal derivation through action principle.

    Graduate Is There a Logical Derivation for Einstein's Field Equations?

    there can be a derivation of EFE but makin it logically complete a good amount of paper work is needed...but is there any such attempt available??

    Graduate Characteristic or a finite field is a prime number?

    in dummit and foote's abstract algebra the proof is not very clear i guess. he did not define the binary operation between positive integers and members of the field F.A mapping should be defined to make it clear.Also (1+1+1...ntimes).(1+1+...mtimes) can be (1+1+...mn times) clearly due to...

    Admissions Applying to MIT: Tips, Strategies & Experiences

    does CGPA of bacheolers degree matters much for doing M.S/Ph.D in top universities .i am doing chem engg 1st yr in india.can i do M.S/Ph.D in physics! since i am seriously interested(but couldn't go to B.SC. because of my parents pressure to go to engg)

    Overcoming Struggles to Pursue a Love of Physics

    it's really good ,it's your natural interest from experience,i think your sort of mind(like mine) will enjoy theorotical physics much as it is a studyof most fundamentals of nature ....good luck and have a nice journey through reality

    How can physics majors help with problem solving in Physics 111?

    blindly apply laws in their mathematical form...i'm sure you willwin

    Other Should I Become a Mathematician?

    i want to become a good theorotical physicist how far pure maths is useful for that?
