Hey everybody. I'm a long-time lurker who needs some help. I've just recently decided to become a physics major, and now I have a feeling that my math background is inadequate. I want to get some sort of math degree and take courses that would be useful for physics, but I don't have a lot of...

I would like to invite people who want to study Bohm's theory in this thread. The aim is to *study* the theory, because people who (think they) are confortable with quantum theory (such as me) sometimes don't know much about Bohm's formulation of it (such as me!). As there are some proponents...

Hi all, my first post here. I am majoring in pure math, but have to take a course this semester called "intro to applied math". A sample of the homework is http://www4.ncsu.edu/eos/users/w/white/www/white/ma325/HThw2.pdf. I stared at this for two hours and had no clue how to find the...
