Hi, not sure if this is the correct section. Apologies in advance.
I completed an MS in mathematics, but I am not planning to go onto PhD studies in math.
During undergrad, I attempted to complete a double major in Physics/Math. Was about 3 to 4 classes short (Astronomy , Stat-Mech, and other class(s)), but took the overall core courses (upper div Mechanics, 2 upper EM, 1 Quantum, Thermal, SR)
Anyhow, I plan to self study previous physics to get back in form while I work (found employment). I’m giving myself two to three years for this. From here, either complete a bridge program or a go for 2nd MS in Physics , then apply for a PhD programs in Physics. I am considering theoretical physics.
Now, to the question:
I recall reading a thread here regarding math topics one should take for physics, if there was enough time. The spirit was along the lines
X math topic helps to understand y physics topic. I used the search feature, but cannot locate such a thread.
