comment Pure mathematical exposition vs A “for physicists” approach: Which is better?
I personally think it could be the topic of a very productive discussion.

comment Advice on classes: Theoretical Mechanics vs E&M II
I certainly want to be learning QFT during my senior year. So do you think it's absolutely essential that I have stat mech before doing so or is it also doable concurrently?

comment Advice on classes: Theoretical Mechanics vs E&M II
Yes, for the first choice I'm mostly sure that I'll be doing mechanics. For the second one, I'm still thinking. I was considering math methods because I've taken or know the material to most of the applied math classes that the math department has to offer (calculus, ODEs, PDEs, complex variables etc) and still feel that there's a great deal to learn. You're correct in that grad-level algebra along with Grad Mechanics and Grad Quantum might be too much to handle so Stat Mech may be a good choice.

Yes I got exactly this. Thank you too.

comment Lagrangian of two particles connected with a spring, free to rotate
Thanks. I was learning Hamiltonian Mechanics (I'm asked to find Hamilton's equations after this part) a few months after I took my classical mechanics class which covered lagrangians but not hamiltonians. So I forgot the standard coordinates that are used in a two-body problem. Thanks.
