AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the enjoyment of mathematics, particularly in its application to classical physics and quantum mechanics, while expressing a dislike for certain calculations, specifically Doppler shifts. One participant mentions a current focus on blood flow measurement and simulation, indicating a desire to progress in this area despite needing to grasp some foundational concepts first. The conversation acknowledges that everyone has aspects of physics they find unappealing, suggesting that disliking certain mathematical applications is a common experience, especially for those still in university.

I love to do mathematics, but apply it to usually classical physics, and no doubt quantum mechanics (since it's mainly just maths), and most other things except some astronomy. I don't mind calculating the orbits and so on, but I don't like calculating doppler shifts and etc. Does anyone else hate this?

If it's the Doppler shift you don't like, then all I can say is that you have a lot more unlikable math(s) coming up in the near future (I'm assuming you're still in university?)
 
Everyone has something they don't like in physics, I wouldn't worry about it.
 
Just ONCE, I wanted to see a post titled Status Update that was not a blatant, annoying spam post by a new member. So here it is. Today was a good day here in Northern Wisconsin. Fall colors are here, no mosquitos, no deer flies, and mild temperature, so my morning run was unusually nice. Only two meetings today, and both went well. The deer that was road killed just down the road two weeks ago is now fully decomposed, so no more smell. Somebody has a spike buck skull for their...
