    Which Book is the Best for Learning Electromagnetism?

    Hi, I'm looking for the best book in which I can learn very well electromagnetism. I have good notions of all mathematics till differential equations. Furthermore I basically know analytical mechanics (I have studied on the Landau's Mechanics) and special theory of relativity. Thanks in...

    [Special relativity - Mathematical background] Tensor and pseudo-tensor

    Hi to all, Let A^{ik} be an antisymmetric tensor of rank 2; Why is A^{*ik}=1/2e ^{iklm}A_{lm} defined its dual? e^{iklm} is the completely antisymmetric unit tensor. Furthermore, e^{iklm} is a pseutotensor, what does it mean? Conversely, why the product e^{iklm} e_{prst} is a true tensor...

    Olympic Long Jumper's Takeoff Speed

    Let O(X,Y) be a frame of reference with origin in the jumper. The equations of velocity and space in function of time are: Velocity: v_x=v_o cos\theta and v_y=v_o sin\theta + g*t Space s_x=v_o cos\theta * t +s_{ox} and s_y=\frac{1}{2}g*t^2 + v_o * sin \theta + s_{oy} I...

    Indefinite integral of vector function

    \frac{d(\vec{V}\times \frac{d\vec{V}}{dt})}{dt} = \vec{V}\times \frac{d^2\vec{V}}{dt^2} + \frac{d\vec{V}}{dt} \times \frac{d\vec{V}}{dt} = \vec{V}\times \frac{d^2\vec{V}}{dt^2} so result of the integral is \vec{V}\times \frac{d\vec{V}}{dt}, is it exact? :)

    Indefinite integral of vector function

    Yeah, sorry. Really the integral was \int (\vec{V}\times \frac{d^2\vec{V}}{dt^2}) \,dt In fact it includes a vector as a result of the cross product whose components are function of t. Does anybody have any idea?

    Indefinite integral of vector function

    Homework Statement If {\vec{V}(t) is a vector function of t , find the indefinite integral: \int (\vec{V}\times \frac{d^2\vec{V}}{dt^2}) \,dt Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution I have solved it by decomposing and integrating each terms of vector \vec{V}\times \frac{d^2t}{dt^2}...

    Physics 20-1 Final Review: Projectiles

    You can use a frame of reference (X,Y) with origin (0,0) in the cliff and the point P(0,s_{oy}) is where the projectile will be thrown. Equation of motion respect to X and Y are: \begin{align*} s_x=v_ox*t + s_{ox}\\ s_y=\frac{1}{2} * g * t^2 + v_{oy}*t+s_{oy} \end{align*} but in according to my...

    What math background is needed for self-studying quantum mechanics?

    Hi folk, I have intention to study quantum mechanics as self-educated and so not as exam material. In order to do that, I wold know which are fundamental mathematics knowledge that one should need? I've a bachelor degree in computer science engineering and so I already have knowledge about...
