AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around pursuing a master's degree in mathematical physics after completing a bachelor's degree in physics. Key points include the importance of taking advanced mathematics and statistics courses, as well as specific subjects like topology, differential geometry, and quantum physics. While string theory is mentioned as a topic of interest, it is noted that it may be too advanced for a bachelor's level. Participants express curiosity about the curriculum for master's programs, particularly regarding the relevance and interest level of courses like string theory, advanced classical mechanics, and quantum field theory. There is a shared interest in connecting with others who are also planning to specialize in mathematical physics, seeking insights into the experience of such programs.

Hello! I am about to be ready with my bachelor degree in physics. I became lately interested in mathematical physics. I wonder which courses I should take (are most suitable and usefull) in order to continue with mathematical physics in the future?
Thanks

Hi,
Obviously you may need to take mathematics and statistics together with few other courses.
 
that I have already done. I was mostly interested in subjects like topology, differential geometry, string theory and other courses.
 
For a bachelors level it should be sufficient. What is the course curriculum for Bachelors in physics given in your university ?
But if you like those courses (string theory, which contains mostly of relativity and quantum physics) take them also. I would say that string theory is too much for a bachelors level. Anyway try learning quantum physics.
cheers
 
I have already done bachelor. I am going to do my master from next semester and then we have several courses to choose from like string theory, advanced classical mechanics, topology, differential geometry, quantum mechanics, quantum field theory.
We have already done introductory quantum physics as well.
I just wanted to know if there is anyone 'out there' who is planning to do masterprogram with specialisation mathematical physics.
Does anyone has experience of doing such program? Is it interesting?
