Hey folks, If someone wants to be a theoretical physicist is preferable to follow the mathematics department or the physics? i live in greece (just to know)
Kostas Tzim said:yeah generally speaking... thanks btw!
Kostas Tzim said:hello chris I am aiming for the electrical engineering department, (Metsovian) you know, it is considered to be one of the best departments, and then decide.i also like high energy theoretical physics like dimitris nanopoulos.
Theoretical physics is a branch of physics that uses mathematical models and theories to explain and predict the behavior of physical systems. Mathematics, on the other hand, is a field that deals with the study of numbers, quantity, and structure using logical reasoning and abstract concepts.
Yes, a strong foundation in both mathematics and physics is essential for theoretical physicists. They must be able to understand and apply complex mathematical concepts to physical theories and models.
Yes, theoretical physics is a popular and well-respected field in Greece. The country has a long history of producing influential theoretical physicists, such as Georgios Papanicolau, who made significant contributions to the field of general relativity.
Theoretical physicists in Greece have various job opportunities in academia, research institutes, and government agencies. They can also work in industries such as technology, engineering, and finance, where their skills in problem-solving and data analysis are highly valued.
In addition to a strong background in mathematics and physics, successful theoretical physicists in Greece possess critical thinking, problem-solving, and analytical skills. They also need to have a deep curiosity about the fundamental principles of the universe and a passion for learning and exploring new ideas.
