An American Physics Student in England. Thoughts on Race in the UK. Totally random bits before I go. Here are a few totally random snippits that I had hoped to incorporate in some posts. Enjoy! Anybody who has not already done so should play with arXiv Structure. It’s not perfect, but it does a very good job of creating a ‘web’ of interconnections between papers. It’s a great tool for skimming the literature for a given topic and finding review articles.”. Making fun of the 1960s New Math. The Marshall S...

An American Physics Student in England. Newer posts ». Here’s another post that I wished I could flesh out more had time permitted. A few subtler points of LaTeX etiquette…. Quotation marks: use ` and “ instead of ‘ and ” for opening quotations, or else your quotes will look silly. Bras and kets: use langle, rangle instead of less-than, greater-than. It’s a pain to read a calculation when the equal signs don’t line up. Advanced. If you want to be. Filed under: Just for Fun. This is an old post that I nev...

Arrival in Cambridge | An American Physics Student in England
https://fliptomato.wordpress.com/2008/09/13/arrival-in-cambridge
An American Physics Student in England. Totally random bits before I go. Brief thoughts on blogging. This unfinished draft has been sitting in my blog directory for almost two years now. I think I’ll just leave it as-is and share it as a memory of my first week in the UK. I have similar scraps of paper recounting thoughts while I was on the plane to London, on the train from Cambridge/to Durham, and on the plane home. To set the stage:. It is raining in London. It’s raining in London. The Art of Equations.

Collider Physics for Theory Students | An American Physics Student in England
https://fliptomato.wordpress.com/2008/09/13/collider-physics-for-theory-students
An American Physics Student in England. Brief thoughts on blogging. Collider Physics for Theory Students. This is another post on my “farewell tour” (which will last until I can properly say farewell). I thought it was important to write one more literature guide since my QFT. Guides seemed reasonably popular. As a side project, I’ve started typing up a set of collider-physics-for-theorists notes for the local hep-ph group. Along the way, I’ve found a few nice sets of references that I th...This has been...

An American Physics Student in England. Damaged Book Sale at the CUP Bookstore. And all this time I was taking physics classes! From Griffiths to Peskin: a lit review for beginners. Aka “How to get started learning QFT as an undergraduate.”. Slight updates (added more details) to a few of the reviews, and an added caveat. An inspired student with adequate background should be able to take quantum mechanics in his/her second or third year and then progress directly to a ‘real’ QFT course with ...Instead, ...
