What courses do I need to take for particle physics?

AI Thread Summary
To learn about particle physics, it's essential to identify the necessary prerequisites in both physics and mathematics. A common approach is to review college course catalogs, as they outline the progression of topics leading to advanced subjects like particle physics. For instance, if particle physics is listed as a 405-level course, students should complete all preceding courses. Stanford's course list is recommended as a resource for finding relevant physics courses and their prerequisites.

Hi all,

I want to learn about particle physics.
I want to know what courses and topics in physics (and Mathematics) generally do I need to learn?

Thanks

An easy way to find prerequisites is the look through college course lists. If particle physics is 405 then you can be sure you should take all the courses before that.

Try browsing through Stanford's course list.

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation.
