Switching to Theoretical Physics

It is indeed, we don't start the earlier physics lecture for another few weeks. If you like, I can give you notes of what we've done so far!
All the lecturers are lovely aswell so I'm sure they'd be happy to help if you have any questions. 0 -

That'd be brilliant if I could photocopy them actually! 0 -

No bother, gives me an excuse to write them a little more neatly as I'd planned, instead of procrastinating about it for longer. I can meet you before or after the class, or whenever suits!
Also, our first assignment is this in case you want to have a glance at it: http://www.maths.tcd.ie/~vdots/1111HW1.pdf0 -

Thanks so much, I appreciate it! But you don't have to write them out again just for me; I'll probably be able to decipher them :P
Yea that'd be good, where is the first lecture on?
Brilliant, I'll have a look at it there. Are the notes ye got during the week relating to that or are we to do that on prior knowledge from the leaving cert/whatever?0 -

Ah but I actually need to rewrite them so I can decipher them.. :P
The first lecture tomorrow is 1pm in the Maxwell theatre in the Hamilton. We also have a physics lecture immediately afterwards in the Schrodinger (Fitzgerald building) which is apparently an interesting one, so if you've nothing on you should come. Then at 5pm we have Linear Algebra, again in the Maxwell.
Erm, some of it is basically applying stuff that he covered to a problem, some of it you seem to only be able to go about in a very simple way! I'd wait 'til you get the notes etc as gamma23 suggested anyway.You can do it from the leaving probably but for the love of god please dont. The whole of Vlads course is done in a very particular way, and if you dont start to use it as soon as you can your doomed. (ok not trying to put you off here but it is probably the hardest course in 1st year)
Have a look at it maybe but dont bother answering it until you have seen the notes, if your struggling ask someone in a higher year for a bit of help, given your situation im sure they will if they have the time.
Btw did the helprooms start yet? Donal normally sends around an email...they would be really useful to you.
Ahh but some of it is stuff he hasn't covered, however usually it's something that you can only do in one way. The transformations etc are fairly handy. But for the questions where there's a few different ways to do it - do it the way you learn in class! Yeah, linear algebra is looking like it'll be the tough one - mechanics, adv. calculus and analysis all look very doable!
I don't think helprooms have started yet, we haven't had an email afaik!0 -

I completely forgot to arrange to meet you to get the notes toda :P I asked some of the girls but I think you'd already gone at that stage.
Any chance I could get them before/after our 10AM lecture tomorrow morning?0 -

I hadn't actually gone, I was somewhere behind you I'd say - I got the message but couldn't see you!
And you can of course - you're coming to mechanics so yeah? I can PM you my number or something like that if you want? 0 -

Sorry was at some sort of pizza meeting thing in Trinity Hall.
I just PM'ed you there!0
