AI Thread Summary
After completing calculus, linear algebra, and differential equations, students interested in majoring in math and chemistry/physics should consider taking courses in ordinary and partial differential equations, applied mathematics, and complex variables. Additionally, studying algebra, particularly group theory, can be beneficial for chemistry. The difficulty of these courses can vary, but they are generally considered challenging. It's essential to align course selections with future academic goals in math and science. Engaging with these advanced topics will provide a solid foundation for college studies.

ok...

so since i have very little knowledge outside of what I've learned in school i must ask...

what happens after i take these math courses? what's the "next step"

ok, so 'im about to be a senior in high school... I'm just finishing up calc 3 right now, and during the first semester of high school I'm taking linear algebra + diff eq's


so what comes after that? what classes are after that that i need to take?

i wannah major in math and chemistry/physics in college... so what math courses would best fit me?

and of course... how "easy" or "hard" are the classes?

please help... thanks ahead of time

i would say stick with ordinary & partial differential equations and applied math like modelling. i think now is the time for complex variables also. if you're going to do chem it wouldn't hurt to do some algebra, particularily group theory.
 

Thread 'Non-orthogonal bases'

Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...

Thread 'What Exactly is Dirac’s Delta Function? - Insight'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
