My Interest in Physics and Mathematics

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on an individual's desire to deepen their understanding of physics and mathematics after completing graduate studies in computer science. They seek guidance on how to proceed with their interests in these subjects. Participants suggest that if the individual is in college, they should refer to their institution's course catalog for relevant classes, such as calculus, differential equations, and introductory physics. The conversation emphasizes the importance of structured learning through formal education while also acknowledging the possibility of self-study if the individual is not currently enrolled in college. The need for clarity on their educational status is highlighted to provide tailored advice.

Hi Folks
May be a'm buggingu ppl with these time taking questions .. But i am not in state to go ahead with my interests


I am interested in understanding different aspects of physics and mathematics related to same .

Can anyone of u guide me as where to start ?. This is the biggest quesion in front of me . :smile:

I wud like to develop sound knowledge in Maths + Physics .

Looking eagerly for ur help.

Thanks in advance

Are you in school? Will you be going to school, or do you plan to learn on your own?
 
:confused:


well, assuming you are in college or are going to be entering college, a safe bet would be taking the calculus/diff eq sequence and the introductory physics sequence, and also the modern physics course (if available).


and...of course, if you REALLY like that stuff, you can major in physics...
 
I need to answer following questions for you .
1: I completed my graduate studies as computer science student . I have learned physics or maths as one required subject .

But my interest in these two subjects has increased a lot . So i need guidance as how to proceed . May be this is very basic at this point of time . Still i have to go wuth my interest in understanding Maths and Physics.

Man these info would be more clearer .
Eagery waiting for ur reply.

Assuming that you are attending college, that information is readily available in your institutions calendar. Consult that first as it will give you a greater insight on what to take than what you are suggested to take on PF. However, I am surprised you were not required to take any math courses as a computer science major.

If you are not attending college, then specify if your self-learning.

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...
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...
