AI Thread Summary
Passing calculus 1 and physics 1 with scores just below one standard deviation for electronic engineering indicates a solid foundation, but it is crucial to remain vigilant. The consensus is that the difficulty of courses will increase, and complacency can lead to challenges in understanding more advanced concepts. Maintaining a strong work ethic and continuous study habits is essential to succeed in math, physics, and engineering disciplines.

I've passed calculus 1 and physics 1 scoring little less than 1 stdev for electronic engineering. Is this enough for me to relax I'll do well on the course or things will get harder?

I'd say things will definitely get harder.

Giving into the temptation to relax when it comes to math, physics, and engineering will bite you very quickly down the line.
 

Thread 'Where did all the “fundamentals-deepening” master’s programs go?'

I’ve been looking through the curricula of several European theoretical/mathematical physics MSc programs (ETH, Oxford, Cambridge, LMU, ENS Paris, etc), and I’m struck by how little emphasis they place on advanced fundamental courses. Nearly everything seems to be research-adjacent: string theory, quantum field theory, quantum optics, cosmology, soft matter physics, black hole radiation, etc. What I don’t see are the kinds of “second-pass fundamentals” I was hoping for, things like...

Thread 'Applied Math PhD candidate but I hate group theory'

TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
