What Are You Studying This Spring?

[franznietzsche]

Special Relativity
Thermal Physics
Modern Physics II
Experimental Physics
Electrical Measurements Lab

I like this quarter, its fun.

There is no mention of whether or not I enjoy boring and slow.

I guess you must have misread my post. I said, IF you enjoy boring and slow then you will enjoy history. I never said you enjoy boring or slow.

I'm taking Advanced Lab II, Electrodynamics, Atomic Physics, Special Relativity, Senior Seminar II, and I'm studying quantum relativity under Dr. Finkelstein and working with Dr. Sheldon Jeter in the Mechanical Engineering department here at GT.

Applications of QM

What an oxymoron.

What an oxymoron.

So how exactly are you posting that?

Some of my classes start today. It's 5:57 AM and I've been awake for three hours... that's overexcitement for you! Anyway, my schedule is still up for grabs - some courses don't even have set meeting times yet. Today I'm going to

Partial differential equations ('PDE's)

which is the one thing I'm reasonably certain about (other than Russian language).

I'm sorry but I don't follow.

By the way, that statement I made a few posts back is just a sardonic comment on how I feel quantum mechanics is taught. Especially when I had it, they shoved a lot of theory down our throat with little (if any) applications.

The first few months of taking it, I viewed it as a mathematical theory and I failed to see how the physics connected to it on a deeper level...only after I stepped back and reflected on it, did I start to develop an appreciation for it.
