Differential geometry + physics, departmental question

AI Thread Summary
Oxford University is highlighted as a strong choice for studying differential geometry in relation to physics, particularly due to the course taught by JJ. Binney, who provides accessible lecture notes online. The discussion emphasizes the quality of education available at Oxford for this specialized field, making it a notable institution for students interested in the intersection of geometry and physics.

JJ. Binney over at Oxford teaches a course on Geometry and Physics. I can't imagine that would be considered less than a "good" school to study. He has lecture notes for the course available online: http://www-thphys.physics.ox.ac.uk/users/JamesBinney/lectures.html
 

Thread 'Should I pursue a masters degree after 4.5 years working in IT?'

I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...

Thread 'Should I submit 860 PGRE?'

Hi everyone! I'm a senior majoring in physics, math, and music, and I'm currently in the process applying for theoretical and computational biophysics (primarily thru physics departments) Ph.D. programs. I have a 4.0 from a basically unknown school in the American South, two REUs (T50 and T25) in computational biophysics and two semesters of research in optics (one purely experimental, one comp/exp) at my home institution (since there aren't any biophysics profs at my school), but no...
