And then some asshole goes “ΔxΔp ≥ ħ/2” and you’re like “fuck this shit”
and someoney says btw time is relative
Somewhat related:
Time: 2 weeks, take home
Questions: 1, multiple parts.
Open textbook, internet, collaboration with classmates, anything really.
Good luck
Finally, I’m almost done!
Part 17 is as much work as part 1-16
Fuuuuu
The worst is when one of the two questions is an open problem.
You can rather give 5 years for the last one…
That’s just a PhD
That means try with energy conservation, and if that fails you’ve got a lagrangian to try least action.
Its funny bc physics gets so much worse than that
I remember taking the upper level thermo courses for my undergraduate. Through the semester, they introduced a handful of equations for specific scenarios. Then the final was like 4 questions in 3 hours and with the equation for Gibbs Free Energy.
Needless to say, not my best grade
We have a shared experience, I do history now
Which equation hurt you? Schrodinger’s?
Electrodynamix gonna hurt me in few days
Lowkey, just differential equations made me want to kms. Shrodingers equation was bad but not so difficult as to be singularly memorable. My memory of my physics courses are a void and I switched my major.
I think it was the second semester of quantum mechanics when we got to perturbation theory that I really became afraid.
I never even made it to perturbation theory but hearing about it from other physics major was part of the reason I switched to history lol
Ah, DEs.
What’s so hard though, they are just linear algebra on function spaceJest aside, yeah mathematical device for physics could easily become quite hard and unwieldy.
just linear algebra on function space
I should strangle you lmao.
Honestly the math just took my passion out of physics. I love how physics explains the world and I love how strange everything is. I love learning about physics but doing it… I used to think I was good at math lol

Isaac Asimov joke.
Back in the day, the astronomy professor goes to the college dean to ask for money for a new observatory.
The Dean blows up at him!
"You science people are always asking for money! Chemistry wants gold! Physics wants a dyanmo! Why can’t you be like the math department? All they ever want is paper, pencils and erasers!
“And the philosophy department is even better. They don’t need erasers!”
when the prof doesn’t allow a formula sheet on the exam and it’s worth 50% of your final grade
We never had formula sheets lol
What is the sum of newtons second law
Sum of forces, fundamental problem-solving tool.
I don’t work in mathematics but my work strays into another STEM field, but every now and then I watch this short clip of Sir Andrew Wiles and think “fuck me, maybe it is achievable”.
Absolute legend, that man.
Makes me think maybe I shouldn’t have chosen math, I am not even 1% as smart as Andrew Wiles
Thank you. I finally have something to show other so they can understand what I feel when I say “Math and I…have an abusive relationship.”
