Study Resources for my Classical Fields Theory exam

Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around a student seeking resources for exam preparation in Classical Field Theory, covering topics like relativity, Poincaré and Lorentz groups, tensor algebra, and Lie algebras. They request practice questions and textbook recommendations. A participant suggests conducting a Google search for practice exams, which the student acknowledges but initially hadn't tried. After taking the exam, the student expresses curiosity about feedback, while another participant humorously responds with confusion. Overall, the thread highlights the importance of online resources for academic preparation in advanced physics topics.

Hi, I'm currently taking a class in Classical Field Theory. We've covered topics such as relativity, Poincaré and Lorentz groups, tensor algebra and calculus, as well as Lie algebras and groups.

I would like to review for my exam and was wondering if anyone has practice questions or past exams on these topics? Recommendations for textbooks or resources would also be really helpful!

Thanks !

Welcome to PF.

I did a Google search on Classical Field Theory practice exams and got lots of good hits. Have you tried looking through the results of that search?

No 😅, but I revised, thanks!
I did my exam today, what do you think?

Thread 'PSA -- Contact PI's before applying to graduate school in the US'

Given the current funding situation, you should contact potential departments or research groups before you apply and pay any application fees. Many programs are not taking new graduate students at all this cycle because of funding uncertainty, unless a specific advisor can show they already have money to support you for five years. This is what I’ve heard directly from 20–30 programs. Do not waste money applying blindly.
