Highschool graduate dealing with a triple integral?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the challenge of understanding gravitational field strength through triple integrals, particularly in the context of Irodov's problems. Participants note that triple integrals are likely to appear in freshman physics and engineering courses, emphasizing their relevance in various physics applications. Recommendations for practice include consulting mathematics and mathematical physics textbooks that cover double and triple integrals. Specifically, Spiegel's book on vector analysis is suggested as a valuable resource for mastering these concepts, as triple integrals frequently arise in vector calculus.

I recently came across a problem in Irodov which dealt with the gravitational field strength of a sphere. Took some time to get my head around it and figure how to frame a triple integral, but it felt good at the end. Am I going to start seeing triple integrals in the freshman year tho? If so what are some places to practice

Triple (and higher) integrals will appear quite often in physics in several context. So if you enroll in physics major or engineering you'll definitely encounter triple integrals. Any good book on mathematics and mathematical physics deals with double and triple integrals. Triple integrals arise in vector calculus as well with the integrand being a vector. For instance, you may look at Spiegel's book on vector analysis.

Thread 'Self Learning Math/Physics'

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...

Thread 'What should I do if I found a paper with same result as mine?'

Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation.
