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?
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.Math is the language of physics. All good physicists are excellent mathematicians.
If you have some experience with this, then you should be fine for physics. The only upper division math I've ever used in my graduate physics classes is complex analysis, and even then it was only twice. If you know linear algebra, diff eq, and vector calculus, that's pretty much all you need. Any math you need for specialized topics, you'll probably learn on the fly.Eh? I hope not.

Not compared to what my math major friends are doing.
I like to use the following example to explain the difference between a math and physics majors knowledge of math:Eh? I hope not. I haven't done any real upper-division math.
