I think most students develop their mathematical background up to classical tensors before digging into the physics of general relativity.
I think this approach is good, but once this "Introduction to General Relativity" is finished, then the student should refine his mathematical background...
As the title suggests this thread is intended as a summary of differentiation, it is by no means an attempt at an exhaustive discussion of the topic. A detailed knowledge of limits is not required but is useful, it is assumed that the reader has some knowledge of limits and how to implement...
I urgently need some information like introduction and theory on electropolishing for my project. I have tried searching through the internet but to no avail. Does anyone by chance have some useful links that might aid me? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Hello.
Currently, I'm a Sophomore in High School, and I'm about to finish Chemistry 1 Honors Research, and I'm going to start Biology 2 AP in the fall.
In Chemistry, there were a few introductions to physics, mainly thermodynamics, nuclear physics, and quantum physics, with their ties to...
An Introduction to pH and Buffer Solutions Calculations [work in progress]
This is a work in progress
1. pH and Strong Acids
pH is defined as the negative logarithm of the hydrogen ion concentration in a solution; pH = - log10[H+(aq)]. (From this point forward 'log' will represent log to the...
Does anyone know how many chapters Courant & John's "Introduction to Calculus and Analysis, Volume II" has? Because I've found a 4 chapter reprint, and was wondering if I should get it.
I'm searching for some online text concerning an introduction and somewhat more advanced topics in ring theory.
ps:if you come across on notes for Model theory it would be great too,thx.

Hi! My name is Annie and I am a freshman at UW-Whitewater. I am currently in the introduction to astronomy class. In high school, I took physics and loved it. I even got the 2nd highest grade in the class! This is even more telling when you know that it was a predominantly senior class and...
I have a homework question asking to construct an orthonormal system from the three functions: 1, x, 3x^2 - 1, I know we can approach it using linear algebra method, but as this is a calculus course, I don't think that's what my prof wants us to use. Can anyone guide me through this? Thanks a bunch!
So, where do I begin?
I have a current interests in going into Algebraic Topology and I am currently learning about Point-Set Topology and Abstract Algebra, which are pre-requisites to Algebraic Topology.
After talking to a professor, he recommended learning some Differential Geometry, but...
Hi string group,
I'm a new member. In a few months I'll have completed my final exams
and can finally start to write my diploma thesis (german diploma) in
theoretical physics and mathematics.

basic knowledge from a...
I'm going to study genetics in college next year, and I was hoping I could get a head start.
I have looked at many books such as the Cartoon Guide to Genetics, Schaum's Outline Of Genetics, Genetics for Dummies, etc. But I was afriad of some of these books being either too advanced or too...
Hello I am looking for a good book that will give me an introduction to chemistry. I work in the optical field (glasses, contacts etc.) and work with plastic monomers and polymers and would like to know a little more about them and why the react to certain conditions the way that they do. Any...
Hey there fellas, I just joined this board yesterday. I'm a "Vet" over at Bodybuilding.com, so I'm aware of how boards work, just so you understand I'm not just joining the site and making a new thread.

Hey guys,
I haven't taken thermodynamics yet, I have only taken it in general chemistry, which amounts to pretty much nothing. But I've heard from many friends that Fluid mechanics is a very tough course, so I am trying to teach it to myself before I have to take it next year. I've only...

Alright, I did the whole Hello World! thing, but I got stuck on one part.
I downloaded the Sun.Java thing, but now when I go into the command prompt and to try and compile it... the computer does not recognize the "javac" command.
What's going on? Is there another program?
Hi everyone,
I am going to take a digital electronics course next sesmester. But, I know nothing about Digital Electronics. What books do you recommand for introduction to Digital Electronics? And, any website for this course? Thanks.
Just started studying course of ESC-101 Introduction to ELectronics...but did not do well in first mid semester...any suggestions on how to improve in Electronics

Dear friends,
I'm a 2nd year physics student and I've taken a subject called "Introduction to the structure of matter". It's a short of introduction to quantum mechanics(blackbody radiation, Schrödinger's equation, statistical mechanics etc,)
I would like to ask you what textbook you...
Hi,
Anyone out there have Lawden's book, "An Introduction to Tensor Calculus, Relativity and Cosmology"? Expression 39.13 (on p 109) and the sentence that precedes it have me stumped. My understanding of what he's saying is that a symmetric quadratic form can always be diagonalized so that...
Hi all,
I wanted to study Lie groups and their connections with differential geometry. But i don't want to get involved with lots of 'deep physics'.
I am familiar with a little bit of group theory.
can somebody suggest the right introductory material like tutorial papers or books for such a...
Greetings--I have a few questions from An Introduction to Quantum Field Theory by Peskin and Schroeder.
Note: I'm not sure how to construct the contraction symbol using \LaTeX, so instead I will use the following cumbersome convention: \overbrace{\psi(x)\overline{\psi(y)}}=S_F(x-y), they...
I really don't want to define a homomorphism like
psi(p(x))=p(x-1+I
I'm looking for another way to solve that next question:
Show that Q[x]/(x-1) is isomorphic to Q[x]/(x-2).
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Hello there!
In my last Electromagnetism lecture, the teacher explained that Newton's 3rd law doesn't work when we "sit" on a charged particle and move at the same velocity while another particle is moving at another v velocitiy perpendicular to ours.
How ist it that Newton doesn't work...
