| - | ====== The Traditional Roadmap====== | + | ====== Traditional Roadmap====== |
| + | |||
| + | Most universities follow the traditional roadmap, which follows the historical "order" of the theories. | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Theoretical Physics ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | <diagram> | ||
| + | | Classical Mechanics|~@2| kinematics, forces, circular motion, energy, momentum, rotations, harmonic motion, Newton's laws, Lagrangian Mechanics, Hamiltonian Mechanics, phase space, configuration space | | ||
| + | | |!@4| | | | | | | ||
| + | | Electrodynamics |~@2 | Coulomb's Law, electric circuits, Maxwell's equations | | ||
| + | | |! |!@4 | | ||
| + | | |!| Special Relativity | ~@2 | Minkowski space, time dilation, proper time, Lorentz group, Poincare group, inertial frames of reference| | ||
| + | | |!@4| | | | | | | ||
| + | | Quantum Mechanics|~@2 | double slit experiment, Schrödinger's equations, canonical commutation relations, particle in a box, perturbation theory, Heisenberg picture, tunneling | | ||
| + | | |!@4| | | | | | | ||
| + | | Quantum Field Theory|~@2 | Klein-Gordan equation, Dirac equation, second quantization, scattering theory, path integral formalism | | ||
| + | | |!@4| | | | | | | ||

| + | </diagram> | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Mathematics ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | There are several math topics that are usually learned parallel to the theories: | ||
| + | |||
| + | <diagram> | ||
| + | | Classical Mechanics|~@8| trigonometric functions, differential calculus, integral calculus, differential equations, variational calculus, Legendre transforms| | ||
| + | | |!@4| | | | | | | ||
| + | | Electrodynamics |~@8 | vector calculus, complex numbers, systems of linear equations, linear algebra, Fourier transforms | | ||
| + | | |! |!@4 | | ||

| + | | Quantum Mechanics|~@8 | Hilbert spaces, special functions | | ||
| + | | |!@4| | | | | | | ||
| + | | Quantum Field Theory|~@8 | Taylor approximations, distributions, Greens functions | | ||
| + | | |!@4| | | | | | | ||
| + | | General Relativity|~@8 |differential geometry| | ||
| + | </diagram> | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Experimental Physics ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | In addition, there are other topics that are often covered in "experimental physics" courses: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Optics | ||
| + | * Waves | ||
| + | * Nuclear Physics | ||
