AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on selecting the right discipline for postgraduate studies that bridge mathematics and physics. The individual seeks a mathematical field that can accurately describe the relationship between mathematical theories and physical reality, citing the Rayleigh–Jeans law as an example of a mathematical concept that failed when applied to nature. Participants suggest exploring areas such as mathematical physics or theoretical physics, recommending that the individual research universities offering programs in these fields to find suitable options. The emphasis is on finding a discipline that can effectively distinguish between mathematical correctness and physical applicability.

Hi professionals , kindly I just want someone help me to choice the right Discipline for my post graduate study , I want to study in a mathematical field that enable me to describe the relations between the mathematics and physics . or in other words , the relations between mathematics and the existence .

any help will be appreciated .

Just for illustration , as you know that ( Rayleigh–Jeans law ) was seems mathematically correct , but when scientists applied that law in the nature it was incorrect !

so , what's the kind of math that enable us to distinguish between what's correct in mathematics and what's correct in the nature ?
 
Sounds like mathematical physics or theoretical physics...see what universities that might interest you offer in those areas.
 

Thread 'Should I pursue a masters degree after 4.5 years working in IT?'

I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...

Thread 'Should I submit 860 PGRE?'

Hi everyone! I'm a senior majoring in physics, math, and music, and I'm currently in the process applying for theoretical and computational biophysics (primarily thru physics departments) Ph.D. programs. I have a 4.0 from a basically unknown school in the American South, two REUs (T50 and T25) in computational biophysics and two semesters of research in optics (one purely experimental, one comp/exp) at my home institution (since there aren't any biophysics profs at my school), but no...
