AI Thread Summary
To efficiently stay updated on recent papers in physics, utilizing arXiv is common, but it can be time-consuming. A more streamlined approach includes subscribing to the Table of Contents (ToC) of relevant journals, which provides direct access to new publications. Google Scholar's "recommended articles" feature can also be beneficial, especially when following key authors. Engaging with colleagues by discussing recent papers can uncover valuable insights, and establishing a weekly journal club can foster collaborative learning. Additionally, subscribing to the arXiv mailing list allows users to receive daily emails with preprints in specific subfields, enhancing the ability to keep track of new research without extensive searching.

Hello! What is the best way to focus on the most relevant, recently published papers in your field (in my case physics). Usually I just go on arXiv (hopefully most of them will be there), choose my field of interest and start scrolling. But that takes a lot of time. Searching for key words helps but that way you risk missing good papers. Do people with more experience have any advice for better ways to keep up to date with the new papers coming every day? Thank you!

The "recommended articles" in Google Scholar can be a good place to start, especially once you are "following" enough relevant authors.
Subscribing the the ToC of some relevant journals can also be a good idea.
 
I use arXiv too (I bookmarked the atomic physics subsection so my daily arxiv check is over in less than a minute), but I hear about most of the cool papers from my coworkers. Try asking folks, "see any cool papers lately?" Its a bit random but it works! Getting your group to do a weekly journal club doesn't hurt either.
 
If you subscribe to the arXiv mailing list, you get an email with all of the preprints in a given subfield (for example physics, statistical mechanics) every night. Instructions are here https://arxiv.org/help/subscribe
 
TL;DR Summary: What topics to cover to safely say I know arithmetic ? I am learning arithmetic from Indian NCERT textbook. Currently I have finished addition ,substraction of 2 digit numbers and divisions, multiplication of 1 digit numbers. I am moving pretty slowly. Can someone tell me what topics to cover first to build a framework and then go on in detail. I want to learn fast. It has taken me a year now learning arithmetic. I want to speed up. Thanks for the help in advance. (I also...
guys i am currently studying in computer science engineering [1st yr]. i was intrested in physics when i was in high school. due to some circumstances i chose computer science engineering degree. so i want to incoporate computer science engineering with physics and i came across computational physics. i am intrested studying it but i dont know where to start. can you guys reccomend me some yt channels or some free courses or some other way to learn the computational physics.
I'm going to make this one quick since I have little time. Background: Throughout my life I have always done good in Math. I almost always received 90%+, and received easily upwards of 95% when I took normal-level HS Math courses. When I took Grade 9 "De-Streamed" Math (All students must take "De-Streamed" in Canada), I initially had 98% until I got very sick and my mark had dropped to 95%. The Physics teachers and Math teachers talked about me as if I were some sort of genius. Then, an...
