I am now at the stage where I am a full year (or more!) behind my peers in the department who did their undergraduate study only in maths. It's sad, but theres nothing that I can do about it not but try to work hard, read and study as much advanced maths as I can, and try to catch up! The point of this little rant, if you want to be a theorist, don't make the mistake that I made, and listen to the advice of Matt above! | |

To reiterate, it of course depends greatly on what kind of 'physics' (VERY broad term!) student you are. Your question simply asks '...a physics student...'. I absolutely regret so much every single physics lecture I ever sat in during my undergraduate time. When there is so so so SOO much Maths to learn, I feel that every single one of those hours was wasted. I got better understanding from the Maths-Physics courses that I took in the maths department... | |
