how easy does it become to learn general relativity after a good course in continuum mechanics?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
It's significantly easier. At least, since that's the order I learned the topics, I think it was fairly straightforward to learn the basics of GR after taking a good continuum mechanics class.
 

Thread 'Self Learning Math/Physics'

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) .

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. This article's date received is 2022-11-15...
