What part of live is for math or physics for sciensists? I think need work all day (10 hours or more) if you want to be a good sciencists of physics or math or good lecturer. Do I right?
Chronos said:Math is the language of physics. All good physicists are excellent mathematicians.
Poop-Loops said:Eh? I hope not. I haven't done any real upper-division math. Diff EQ's, Partial derivatives, vector calculus, linear algebra, some real and complex analysis in my math physics class. That's about it. I wouldn't consider that being an excellent mathematician.
Not compared to what my math major friends are doing.

The amount of time scientists spend on math in their research varies depending on their field of study and the specific project they are working on. Some scientists may spend a majority of their time on math, while others may only use it minimally. However, math is an essential tool in the scientific process and is often used for data analysis, modeling, and making predictions.
No, not all scientists need to be proficient in math. While math is important in many scientific fields, there are certain areas where it is not as crucial. For example, some social scientists may use basic math skills, such as statistics, but not require advanced mathematical knowledge. However, having a strong foundation in math can be beneficial for all scientists, as it allows for a better understanding of data and the ability to communicate findings effectively.
Yes, certain fields of science, such as physics, engineering, and computer science, require a strong understanding of math. These areas often deal with complex mathematical concepts and equations, and scientists in these fields may spend a significant amount of time on math in their research. However, even in other areas of science, such as biology and chemistry, math is still an important tool for analyzing and interpreting data.
Scientists use math in their experiments in various ways. It may be used to design experiments, collect and analyze data, and make predictions or conclusions based on the results. Math also helps scientists to create models and simulations to better understand complex systems and phenomena. In some cases, scientists may also use math to develop new theories and hypotheses.
Yes, scientists often use computer programs, such as statistical software or programming languages, to assist with math in their research. These tools can help with complex calculations and data analysis, saving scientists time and allowing for more accurate results. However, it is still important for scientists to have a basic understanding of math concepts and be able to interpret and verify the results produced by these programs.
