One has nothing to do with each other and I don't know a single mathematician who is good at physics. Few physicists really care about the rigor of mathematics, either.
im not sure where you are from, but in the netherlands it is possible to follow a double bachelors program in pure math and theoretical physics, as well as a 3 year double masters in pure math and theoretical physics.
If you are absolutely perfectly logical in your math, you will naturally arrive at physics. "The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it?"
Maths is raw logic. Physics is abstraction but down to earth concrete theorization of the real world. Uncovering the underlying meaning of reality. One layer of abstraction above the real world but also grounded in it.
Could a single geometrical process square ψ², t², e², c², v² forming our mathematics? We need to go back to r² and the three dimensional physics of the Inverse Square Law. Even back to the spherical 4πr² geometry of Huygens’ Principle of 1670. The Universe could be based on simple geometry that forms the potential for evermore complexity. Forming not just physical complexity, but also the potential for evermore-abstract mathematics.
I don't like someone telling me I have to be one thing or another, when I love both things. Math is the language of science so to be a physicist you have to also be a mathematician to some degree. That's why I don't take IQ tests because I don't think it's psychologically healthy to believe there are limits on your intelligence. Given the fact that our minds accept information faster when we are really young than they ever will later in life, some kids will be farther ahead than other kids. But those kids who aren't ahead of the curve should be told they have the capacity to do something great in science and math if they so choose to.
There isn't "math". There are maths. Much like there isn't just "physics". There are physics. Each of those things are their own universe, while there are overlaps not everything about one correlates, or is useful, to the other. A lack of focus will just make you below mediocre at both.
@@Phymacss no, sorry I think you need to major. But that's fine as there's plenty of math in a physics major plus you can take extra math courses on the side. In your theoretical physics PHD and masters, you will be exposed to even more math together with physics
ye but only if u good at mathematics at the first place, if u bad a maths the best you can be at physics is like a 2/10. mathematical physics for the win!!!!! ;ppp
@@nguyenkhoinguyen983 In my experience with physics, you’ll only _need_ to go as far as basic differential geometry/functional analysis, maybe some abstract algebra, all without any sort of proof or rigor.
What does he mean by "compass integration"? Or did he mean "complex integration"? And if it's about planes, maybe this "compass integration" is what we call "contour integration". Can someone enlighten me here?
He meant complex integration; you can tell by the context of the complex variables course title and from the fact that singularities play an important role in complex planes.
He clearly respected his Indian colleague. If his colleague had been from New York and he imitated his accent? I see racism were it's intended. In society now we would not accept uni students speaking like this.
@@sdlillystone respect isn’t binary it’s more nuanced; he might have respected his intelligence but not have respected him as a fellow man based on his country of origin
