    Studying Share self-studying mathematics tips

    I would like to share an observation that works for both mathematics and theoretical physics. If you're going to be extremely good at some subject , Let's say Quantum field theory or algebraic topology , the only way is to work out everything independently on your own. You know some basic tools...

    What's the latest update on the possible discovery of dark matter?

    Well , they said that they have discovered positron excess which is most probably due to dark matter but the possibility that positron excess is due to pulsars has to be ruled out

    Mathematics Necessary for Physics Graduate Program

    Methods of solving Partial differential equations , linear algebra , contour integration and special functions are very important .Group theory is very important in particle physics too . All the math you would need is covered in the book " Mathematics of classical and quantum physics "

    Need to find an EM book between Griffiths and Jackson.

    You will be fine studying jackson at this level . Landau is very good and develop the whole electromagnetic theory from the principle of relativity and lagrangian formalism . I don't think that jackson is very difficult either. It's the problem set that are difficult not the explanations

    More advanced physics is just the same with more maths

    Yes,but more complicated math is essential to solve more complicated problems .

    Admissions Is Public College the Right Choice for Theoretical Physics Research?

    Hi guys , Is applying to a public college for an undergraduate physics program a good idea if I want to specialize in theoretical physics in the future and do research ? How much does it cost on average ? I don't have the money for other universities and I didn't graduate from a US high school...

    Medical How can we protect ourselves from the harmful effects of UV rays?

    Ultraviolet rays have suffiecient energy that they can damage the DNA of the skin cells causing various forms of cellular dysfunction .The most dreadful is skin carcinoma which occurs commonly in light skinned individuals , Burns also occur due to damage to the skin structures and subsequent...

    Lecture videos of Theoretical physics

    Hi guys , I found a lot of incredibly useful lecture videos provided by the international center for theoretical physics see http://www.ictp.tv/ However there is one problems . They use a technology called EyA to view the lectures.It creates high quality images of the black board every 6 seconds...
