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?

Thread 'How do physicists practically switch fields to non-adjacent subfields?'

Hi all, Hope you are doing well. I'm a current grad student in applied geophysics and will finish my PhD in about 2 years (previously did a HBSc in Physics, did research in exp. quantum optics). I chose my current field because of its practicality and its clear connection to industry, not out of passion (a clear mistake). I notice that a lot of people (colleagues) switch to different subfields of physics once they graduate and enter post docs. But 95% of these cases fall into either of...
