An average of 18 attacks on Jews in Europe since September 11

It was an odd school.

FYI: it was sort of a grab-bag of more advanced topics after diffeq's (screws contained some PDE stuff). As I recall it included PDE's, bessel functions, little bit of matrices, some other junk. Don't really remember it all. The book was huge but we didn't do most of it. Engine Math name comes becuase it is (mostly) engineers who have to take it.

That has been made clear on the first page, Eli.

Read the thread. it's average of 18 per day. I make it 19 for today if you don't shut up

[KrazyHorse]

Increasing or decreasing? What's the standard error on that measurement? Is error Gaussian or not?

[Ramo]

alg. 1, anal.1 (hah. anal 101). Then it was alg.2 (linear alg. for non-dummies), complex anal., anal. 2, then PDEs, alg.3, anal.3, Diff. Geo, then alg. 4, Geo/Top1&2.

What's with all of those algebra courses?

We only have one (if you exclude linear algebra courses). Is that the norm or is UT screwed up that way?

kitty, I don't think the Bessel functions are in the Hydrogen atom solution. I do remember the psherical harmonics which had Legendre polynomials in them

But he has a point, and didn't you just come back from Mingapulco?

This is just not funny anymore. Stefu used this joke for at least a couple dozen times.

[Ecthy]

really?

well, Stefu's middle name contains the word 'anus', so I'm not going to get involved

I didn't get my degree from UT. Got it from McGill.

Joint Honours BSc in Math&Phys

I know that UAlberta curriculum for their math/phys students is similar in number of alg. courses. McGill's math/physics program is supposedly very well recognized (at least according to McGill teachers). It's definitely very tough on the math side of things. They cut out a few physics courses to make room for all that (no electronics, drop thesis requirement, drop one lab course).

Algebra's where it's at, man...

I think you're right. I do recall pulling out a Bessel function in Quantum II, though. I wish I could remember what for...

[TCO]

That's a serious math load, kitty horse. Do physicists here take all that stuff? The boat school ones stopped at Engine Math.

[KrazyHorse]

No. Like I said, very heavy on the math side. The job of that program is to churn out theoreticians and mathematical physicists. Made my life easier in physics classes, though. Had better grasp of underlying structure. (All the mathematics used in physics is variations on just a few central themes)

[TCO]

What do you use all those extra math courses for?

Like I understand how vector calc (really just stuff from 3rd semester) goes into E/M. And how Quantum uses spherical harmonics (but we learned them in the QC course, not in math). And how ballistics uses derivatives.

What are the major areas where you apply complex analysis and algebra?

And what is algebra? Is that group theory? I do agree that group theory has some nice applications in spectroscpy and crystallography.
