AI Thread Summary
To purchase the correct textbook for Physics 2425 with "Coates," it's essential to identify the specific edition, as different editions may contain varying problems. Textbooks can be found online at retailers like Amazon year-round, so there's no need to wait until the semester starts. Clarifying the course name instead of just the number can also aid others in providing assistance, as course numbers differ across institutions.

Well, you should be able to find a textbook on Amazon or a similar website at any time of the year, not just when schools are in session. If you don't know the edition of the book, then you may want to try to find that out before you buy an edition since problems can be different in different editions.

Also, I don't know what you mean by "Coates," nor do I know what course 2425 corresponds to. Course numbers vary from institution to institution, and, while it may not help us find your correct edition, it is useful to use course names, instead of numbers here. It makes things much clearer for people who do not go to your school but want to try to help you out.

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...
