Greetings all! I'm Ross Erickson, 57, living in Las Vegas. I'm utterly fascinated with physics/cosmology, but am also utterly NOT scientifically educated. I am a layman who passionately wants to understand, in layman's terms, the physical universe, the laws that govern it, and how we as...

Hi All. My interests in physics are to do with light (born of microscope use, born of bryology, born of dog walking). Seems like I've stumbled across quite a little hotbed of expertise here: happy new year to you all!

Hello everyone, I'm currently an undergraduate who is majoring in math and minoring in physics. Since it's the start of the new year, I thought that joining a community, such as this, would be both helpful and fun. As I said, I'm primarily a math major, but physics has really grown on me lately...

Hi i am trying to understand Borh's scattering but i need article that will teach me step by step. Do you know any?

I'm interested in this subject. This is a graduate text and I believe the prereqs are mostly a math degree, which I somewhat have(B.S in Applied Math from a few years back). The thing is, I forgot details about things. For example, I know how to do an epsilon delta proof and can read one when...

Hello All, Just wanted to introduce myself. I'm new to the forums. I look forward to future discussions and hope I can tribute as well as learn in these discussions. Thanks to all who participate.

I am currently an undergraduate students at university and i am keen on learning some mathematics that is not taught in school and i have chosen number theory as my main topic . Recently I have picked number theory by Hardy but I found it is quite hard to understand sometimes as I have quite a...

Which book among Bernard Schutz , Stephani and d'Inverno is the best for an introductory level approach to GR ? I have read some tensor analysis from d'Inverno and have not found its treatment rigorous enough .

My names tim, and I am a first year physics student but I've had a love for the natural sciences since I was little. I am 21 years old, and some of my favorite things to do are reading and playing drums. Music has always been a close second to science for me. I hope to get to know some cool...

Hello everybody. First of all I want to make clear that this is not for me. I'll try to describe the kind of thing I want and the background that can be assumed. I am look for introductory physics and chemistry books. The background in physics and chemistry is zero. So the person this is for...

Hello, people of whichever gender identity you like! Skipping the easily veered verbose verbiage V verbalized in V for Vendetta in lieu of a common introduction, I prefer go by the initial V. The NV are also intials, but not my first or middle names. I'm a 19 year old male from the Midsouthern...

Greetings, my name is Jamie. I'm a web developer in Maryland, working for a community college. I've been interested in science my entire life, and love learning new things. I graduated HS in 1995, and have managed to forget just about everything I learned about math, so it unfortunately limits...

I'm an high school student who loves his life and this amazing world.

Hello. In my university the course of the Field theory was based on Landau's book, which of course, is a quiet rough book to introduce a subject with - so all I was left with was superficial knowledge of the branch. I would like to read another book (introductory level is preferred) about the...

Hello all. I am self teaching physics, and after completing Classical Mechanics (Special Relativity included), Classical EM and an introductory course to QM, I would like to take a very introductory look to General Relativity. With this purpose in mind, I have chosen 2 books, and I would like...
