Cheers from Canada! I am an undergraduate physics student hoping to graduate with a specialization in astronomy. I've been lurking here for a long time, and thought it was time for me to join in.

Dear Physics Forum advisers, Could you recommend me some brief, introductory books on the number theory I can read for few weeks before jumping into the analytic number theory? Big part of my near-future research project will involve a lot of the analytic number theory, so it is needed to read...

What exactly are the theoretical motivations for considering space and time as a four dimensional continuum? Is it a natural consequence of requiring that the speed of light is independent of the frame of reference that it is measured in, since this implies that time and time are not absolute...

Hi... my name is Unique. I study Bioengineering and Technology in University of Indonesia. I have assignment in Product Design, I hope I get many information in this forum. thank you^^

Hi people, name's Kano, and I will be burdening you all with questions from now on :)

So hi

Hello everyone at Physics Forums, My name is Andrew; I'm an undergraduate student currently pursuing my B.S. in mathematics. While pure mathematics is my main area of interest, I've gained an immense appreciation of physics as I've been self-educating myself with Feynman's lectures and a few...

Hello! I really like physics but I've been reading pop science books up until now. I feel like it's time for real math based physics. I'm a first year ME student so I have calculus and phys 1&2 covered. I was planning on reading Feynman's yet I've heard it might as well be supported by some...

Hi, I am Aakash for 3rd year ug from IIT Kanpur in department of Mechanical Engineering

Well, hello there! As soon as I had finished signing up, a message in my inbox showed up and encouraged me to introduce myself to the board. So, here I am! And, seeing as I'm a fan of backstories and origins, let's get on with it, shall we? I'm from Greece and I'm currently taking my final...

Hey, my name is Aditya and I am a sophomore in high school. I am currently enrolled in AP Physics and I really enjoy the class. In the future, I hope to pursue a career in research and space applications.

I started out as a physicist, but moved to mathematics when I first ran into quantum mechanics. I retired from the military after 20 years. Jobs there included launch officer, trajectory engineer (rocket science), nuclear weapons effects, nuclear war planning (both theory and analytics), then on...

i am preparing for masters in physics after completing an engineering degree in electrical engineering. Messed up my degree because after a year of entering it i realized physics was really my calling, but due to financial constraints i simply could not leave engineering and pursue physics in...

Hello, Per your guidance I'm running through the 2nd edition of an introduction to mechanics. I'm only in the 1st chapter and all the problems are conceptual with no sign of answers. Does anyone know where I can find a manual? Or maybe an alternate source of problems with answers?

Hello, fellow physics-lovers! The name's Brandon, 25 years old, and currently majoring in physics at the University of Oxford. My daily activities when not attending lectures, doing work, or studying include PC gaming, exercising, browsing the internet, and drinking water (I love water, if you...

A textbook or even better some openly available pdf would be preferred. I have no idea where to start a search and I normally prefer recommendations over just picking any book from some publisher. Thank you.

Hello I am Farhad! I am currently in gymnasium, I am not very bright with mathematics and I study Natural sciences :) Even though I am bad at mathematics, I still love it and my main focus is to work with Synthetic biology after I graduate and move along to university.

Greeting, Physics Forums. I've signed up as a new user in order to try and find some answers to solving some artificial simulation physics. I did catch that that content does not go in this thread or sub-forum and will shortly post my question in what I hope is the correct location.

Hello, all! My name is Marina and I currently live in Honolulu, HI. I'm an ocean engineering major, but my primary interests are in astronomy and astrophysics! I'm hoping to meet a lot of people here that can help me deepen my understanding of those subjects, and maybe even find some people...

Essentially I'm just a person who is interested in how the world works and how it can be used to benefit humanity. I'm presently a College freshman but I worked as a research assistant at my college. I'm sure who ever is reading this really cares but I'm shooting for a major in Electrical...

I have access to a copy of the first edition and would like to use this book to strengthen what I've learned in my first physics course in Engineering school. I know there is a second edition though, and I was wondering if the difference between the two is large enough to justify just buying...

I am Debbie from Philippines. After graduating I've been detached from the world of Physics (not totally though) and has been working. wanted to keep Physics side of me alive so I'm here to resurrect it.

In his book, Euler gives the definition of a variable to be : "A variable quantity is an indeterminate or universal quantity, which includes within itself all completely determined values." What does he mean exactly in the last part of the sentence?
