I'm a senior physics student at UIC, and going to study condensed matter physics in graduate school.

I'm proficient at:

  • Classical mechanics (Newtonian mech., Lagrangian mech., Dynamical systems, Moment of inertia tensor, General Coordinates, etc.)
  • Quantum mechanics (1st Quantization, Solutions to Schrodinger Equation, Eigenstates of H.O., H-atom, Angular Momentum, Spin, Perturbation theory)
  • Electromagnetism (Most things Involving Maxwell Equations, Induction, Flux, Lorentz forces)
  • Special Relativity (Lorentz Transformations, Geometry of Minkowski Space, four-vectors)
  • Waves and Vibrations
  • Statics and Dynamics
  • Differential Equations (ODEs and some PDEs)
  • Linear Algebra
  • Some Group Theory
  • Some complex analysis
  • Some Differential Geometry

Things I'm not very proficient at, but in the process of "mastering":

  • Thermal and Statistical Mechanics
  • Optics
  • General Relativity
  • 2nd Quantization and QFT
