How Can a Math-Loving Physics Student Excel in Mathematical Physics?

[CrysPhys]

One day I guess I will see an example of where hard work fails to work...

And when you do, remember the figure skating motto: “We all fall. It’s how we get up that matters.”

For example I can’t solve Halliday’s mechanics problems

Can you share more details with us?

Do you not put in any time because you think the problems are boring ('who cares how high the cannon ball goes??')

Do you read the problem and just draw a blank ('I can't even think of where to start!')

Do you get lost in the algebra, geometry, trig?

Despite some of the posts above about 'talent,' nobody is born knowing how to do these problems. It takes experience (practice) to get good at them. Consider sharing one you 'can't solve' either here or in the homework help section. This forum is all about helping students get better at these kinds of problems.

Will do :)
