AI Thread Summary
To pursue a passion for physics, including areas like quantum mechanics, electromagnetism, relativity, astrophysics, and cosmology, a solid educational foundation is essential. After completing 10+2, which in India signifies the end of secondary education with a focus on subjects like calculus and classical mechanics, the next step is to enroll in a bachelor's program. A Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) in Physics is recommended, as it provides a comprehensive understanding of various physics branches. It is not necessary to specialize in a specific area before starting the bachelor’s degree, allowing for exploration across different fields of physics during the course. This flexibility enables students to make informed decisions about their focus later in their academic journey.

I'm very passionate about physics and want to have knowledge in all branches of physics like quantum mechanics, electromagnetism, relativity, etc
i'm also interested in astrophysics and cosmology. So what type of education i must take to follow my passion, currently i have finished my 10+2 and preparing for bachelor's admission in mumbai. Thank you.

This article from ZapperZ should answer many questions (it is linked here, too). I don't know what 10+2 is, but you do not have to choose specific areas of physics before you plan to do your bachelor thesis.
 
In india, 10+2 is the end of school education where we finish learning basic calculus, classical mechanics , etc and then go for bachelor.
Which bachelor course will be benifical for me in future?
 

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.

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...
