hello guys, I am wondering whether there's any book on classical mechanics on the level of Goldstein but using differential geometry language, no need for introducing to the differential geometry subject but mostly on how to analyse mechanics using it, tks

Hi,there, I'm a college student of physics from China, and I've taken most undergrad physics course. when I tried to study some graduate-level books and some journal papers, I got a problem in math . In graduate level books (say, Jackson's for example), There are pages of math tricks I...

Hello I have been thinking about an idea for quite a while. It uses piezoelectric materials to enhance the motions of a human wearer. If someone were to move their leg up, the piezoelectric material will convex and produce a voltage this voltage would be used to trigger a semiconductor that...

What is mean by advanced materials science and engineering

Hey, I'm 15 and am currently in year 10 and undertaking AQA GCSE Maths, Further Maths and Physics (As well as the others, but these aren't related to my question).

Hello everybody. For the past couple of months I've been trying to study abstract algebra by myself. I got some solid books and tried following some online courses. As I was studying things like groups, rings, and fields, I found studying those topics much tougher than studying Calculus 1, 2...

My current level of understanding of error/data analysis and statistics is based on the material I covered from Bevington and Taylor's introductory texts. I need something that covers the subject in greater depth now. My motivation comes from my job which is to come up with a better way of...

Hi guys,do you have any suggested book on Laboratory physics? I mean something beyond simple freshman experiments such as verify Newton's second law, but still keep general viewpoints, and focus on important experiments in modern physics,for example the S-G experiment of spin magnetic moment...

Hi I signed up for an online introductory university calculus course and I think it is too advanced for me. I just started the introduction chapter and am having trouble with the algebra, trig review. Do you think I should drop the course? And if so, should I take the prerequisite course...

Really need help with these two questions. I have been working on them for some time and just can't seem to make any significant progress 1) X is a continuous random variable with density function f(x) = (θ + 1)x^θ , 0 < x < 1 and 0 elsewhere Derive both the method of moments...

I want to start learning more advanced physics, help? Basically I am a fifth year in Scotland (16 years old) and I am away to sit my higher exams which will decide whether I can get into uni to study physics or not. The problem is physics in school isn't moving at a fast enough pace for me...

I do not know what I want to do. It may be neuroscience, it may be philosophy, it may be physics. I want to have an eclectic college experience, and study a little bit of everything. However I'm worried that all of the HYP, MIT, and CalTech kids will be miles ahead of me in grad school if I...

I'm finishing my undergrad work in Physics and was just curious if there were sources to take 'advanced' math classes besides enrolling in a grad program. If for instance I wanted to take a Group Theory course for my own entertainment or whatever. I'm looking for something legitimate e.g. not a...

Homework Statement I cannot find other sources to help me with this problem set, I have A B and C vectors defined by: A (2,1,1) B(1,-1,0), C(-1,1,-1) From these I have a list of questions and some I am stuck on are:each of these are vectors with an arrow above it 1. |A| + |B| this I did...

Some year ago, in an Italian mathematical community, the following definite integral has been proposed... $\displaystyle I= \int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{1 - \cos x}{x^{2}}\ e^{-x}\ dx$ (1) I don't mask the fact that I like to follow 'unconventional' ways and in that situation I was perfecly...

Greetings. I have been reading the textbook recommendations and they help me greatly already, but I need to ask for little guidance. My question is this: If you were to replace the introductory physics book ("Fundamentals of Physics", "University Physics", "Physics for Scientists and...
