Study Resources for my Classical Fields Theory exam

AI Thread 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 '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. 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...

Thread 'Where did all the “fundamentals-deepening” master’s programs go?'

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...
