Apr 12, 2014 at 13:14 comment added Flint72 (comment character limit is annoying!)... usually the year after doing a similar in physics, which became superfolus. 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!
Apr 12, 2014 at 13:13 comment added Flint72 Being a Theoretical Physics Grad student, I absolutely could not agree with the third paragraph more. 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...
