Theoretical Physics Group
The group studies various topics in theoretical physics such as classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, relativity, statistical mechanics and non-
linear dynamics.
We typically choose a topic where there is a university undergraduate course of lectures or equivalent available on YouTube. We watch one or two of the lectures over a couple of weeks in our own time and tackle a few related problems. We then meet, usually fortnightly on a Thursday morning, to review and discuss. In the group we have the expert support of Alan McKane, a professor of Mathematical Physics at the University of Manchester, who helps guide us through the material and the problems.
To enjoy the courses you will need a certain amount of mathematics, say to A-level standard, but if you are a bit rusty that’s okay.
If interested please contact Peter via the pigeon.
The members of this group, besides myself are:
Mark Gill
Steven jones
Martyn Mann
Alan McKane
We meet every other week on Thursday mornings at my house
