Hello again PF! I think I ask excessively often here so I tried my best to search in google. The result I got was this: http://superstringtheory.com/math/math1.html
Well, that appears as all the math there is (no offense to mathematicians)! Likely the field of super string theory is the most math-intensive, but I would like to know what math courses a phd student would take in various fields of physics (particularly particle/nuclear physics, but I would also like to know others' as well). Would they compare to the maths an undergraduate math major learns?
And few other questions regarding the same topic:
1.) Although likely an extreme example, the amount of math needed as a physicist stated in the aforementioned website was astonishing. Of what classes is a phd student's semester typically consisted of?
2.) If a student in his undergraduate years took/is educated in a math course one would take as a phd student, do you relearn it during your phd program?
Thank you in advance and happy Tuesday
