*ruins your gpa*

it might also have brought in some of the statistical mechanics as well

to derive strong and weak nuclear forces

or something

I just got a measly specialization degree though so I cant be sure

no sorry. all my notes and stuff are back at home...

and its been a long time since I graduated.

I never use any of that stuff any more either.

95% of my time is spent trying to tweak other people's code now.

what do you work/tweak code for now?

we had to do some basic coding for stat mech looking at ising models as the temperature went to 0

my intro to quantum course also started with wave packets and born's rule and all that jazz

I had a whole 2nd year computational physics course where we learned how program computers to iterate differential equations,

I had to learn on the job how to iterate partial differential equations.

I was a grad student working in fluid mechanics, now I run a science based consulting business.

>wave packets and born's rule
doesn't really sound familiar, but again its been a long time

my quantum course followed the first half of OPs book to the letter. It was brutal. Many people including Eng phys students flunked out of their programs thanks to that course.

sounds about right except the prof i took it with just scales it up. unsurprisingly one of the only dudes to get close above 90% in his courses is going to mit for grad school.

born's rule is just the formulation of probability based quantum mechanics and the wave packets are so quantum mechanics doesn't break special relativity. i assumed it was from the book but a foreign exchange student i talked to said he hadn't learned it but did learn everything else

actually my career choice kinda sucks because I was always weak when it came to coding/ computer science.

but that seems to be where the world is going so it is what it is I suppose

indeed even the math majors at my uni have to take comp sci classes.

most things are just too intensive or a lot easier to simulate nowadays but that's the way of science i suppose

Apathy of gen eds ruined my GPA
