Hey guys, I'm a junior electrical engineering major. I took vector calculus last year, and I don't remember too much. Next semester I am taking Electromagnetics, so I want to brush up on my line and surface integrals and all that stuff. Do you guys have any advice where I could go to reteach myself some of that? Websites, specific books, study aids, anything. I probably won't buy a textbook, but I would consider buying a study guide. Thanks a lot!

Well wouldn't the best source of info to relearn from be your old notes themselves?
 

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...
