/sci/ - Science & Math

Sure am glad I didn't take chemistry or physics past grade 12

Double majoring in Computer Science and Mathematics at University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign.

Feels good, man.

Besides Calculus, Differential Equations, and Statistics, what other math classes do Physics majors usually need to take?

I see 2 prevalent themes running through this topic, both are presented by people who go to shit-places that don't teach real math. I'll respond to both of these themes.

1. >Linear Algebra, Calculus, etc.. Were easy classes. Everything was simple and a piece of cake.
Everything at your school is easy. You want to learn Calculus? Open Apostol's textbook. Linear Algebra? Open Friedberg's. See what real math looks like, see the theorems, see the proofs. Try to read and understand everything that says there. Open exercises, do them all. You won't get past the first chapter. You will fail miserably.

2. >Linear Algebra just shows you how to do stuff, it doesn't explain how everything actually works. More Advanced math actually gives the explanations.
Take Linear Algebra at a non-shit-place. Everything will be explained, everything will be proved. In fact, you will be asked to prove most of the stuff.
