Physics

Yesterday, I was cranking through an absolutely miserable integral to find an electric field, when I suddenly realized that I have spent the better part of the last year and a half of my physics education solely learning electricity and magnetism. I think that it's time to move on to a new topic. I'm getting really bored of integrating electric fields and Biot-Savart over and over and over again. Dan Szymkowiak and I were having a conversation about the difference between quantum mechanics and quantum field theory (of which I'm still not certain) at the tournament yesterday. While my mathematical skills are still too weak to approach quantum mechanics, I think learning it will be my next pet project. Meanwhile, I continue to plod through the tedium of the homework problems in Griffiths's "Introduction to Electrodynamics."
