I was originally a Physics major going to start my upper-divisions in the fall. However, a couple days ago I talked with a civil engineer and was genuinely interested. As of right now, I went and reviewed thoroughly much of my lower division physics and math courses courses (up to quantum...
Upon completion of Calculus III (multivariable), we go right into the course using the Mary Boas book "Mathematical Methods in the Physical Sciences." Having flipped through the book and comparing it to a Linear Algebra+Diff Eq text, it seems like many topics have been left out in the Boas book...
Thank you mateomy! One last question, how much did you have to remember from your original Greshman/Sophmore Physics courses or was it like relearning everything in a new way all over again?
Edit: I meant "first two year physics courses vs first two year math courses" in the title.
I know each school is different as far as how professors teach, but for those of you who are in your 3rd/4th year and beyond as a Physics major, how would you compare the material?
I'm not asking if...
Returning Physics Major (hopeful) needing a Calculus "checklist" for Upper Division.
Hello everyone, currently I've been out of school for roughly two years now. As the title suggest I'm a Physics major going into my first year of upper division. The first ourse is a "Intro to Math Methods in...
