SUMMARY

A first-year graduate student in a physics Ph.D. program is seeking study partners for courses including Theoretical Mechanics and Theoretical Physics. The student expresses difficulty in finding a study group due to perceived cliquishness among peers and has explored various online study-buddy matching sites without success. Future courses include Quantum I and E/M I, with research interests leaning towards astrophysics and cosmology. The student is open to collaborating with both undergraduate and graduate students in similar fields.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Theoretical Mechanics and Classical Mechanics
  • Familiarity with Theoretical Physics and Mathematical Methods
  • Basic knowledge of Quantum Mechanics and Electromagnetism
  • Experience with online study-buddy platforms
NEXT STEPS
  • Research effective online study-buddy platforms for physics students
  • Explore collaborative study techniques for graduate-level physics
  • Investigate resources for Quantum Mechanics and Electromagnetism
  • Connect with online communities focused on astrophysics and cosmology
USEFUL FOR

Graduate students in physics, undergraduate students seeking study partners, and anyone interested in collaborative learning in theoretical physics and astrophysics.

I am a first-year graduate student in a physics Ph.D. program. I am hoping to find someone or a group I can study and solve problems with, online or in-person. I tend to procrastinate or get distracted on my own, so I was hoping to find a group to join or create. My fellow grad students seem way too cliquey and I'd rather look elsewhere. I have looked through some of the many online "study-buddy" matching sites with no luck. I don't mind buddying up with physics undergraduates/ grads etc. as long as our the fields of interest are reasonably similar.
My Courses this semester are: Theoretical Mechanics (Essentially Classical Mechanics) and Theoretical Physics (Essentially Math Methods)
Next Semester: Quantum I and E/M I
My Research Interests are not definite yet but I am leaning towards astrophysics/Cosmology

What are your fields of interest?
 
And which courses are you taking this year?
