I'm mathematics student but ultimaly I'm very interested by physics specially Quantum Mechanics.
I should to admit that I don't know actually absuletly noting about physics , in mathematics I'm studying Real Analysis and Group Theory then I'm a rookie in mathematics.

What topics (of mathematics and physics) are necessary to star study of quantum mechanics?

(I'm sorry for my bad english)

no math topics are necessary, since quantum mechanics is inherently non-mathematical

Classical mechanics (Lagrangian and hamiltonian) and electromagnetism are the big physics prerequisites to start getting into QM

lmfao no they aren't , you can start QM without knowing any of these 2
all you really need is complex analysis (and not even that in most cases) and some real analysis (if you know what convergence is you can solve everything in QM)

LFMAO QM doesnt require any of this shit

>>10235001

this is correct, if you know eulers theorem/formula and know how to perform a fourier transformation you can easily ace your QM course

Give it a couple semesters. Actually, finish your bachelors.

What sort of meme QM course did you have?

>> No.10235191

the QM sequence at my school uses a lot of linear algebra.
