| Jul 30, 2013 at 1:51 | comment | added | Michael | @JForster If you are interested in diving in a bit more the Nobel winner Gerard 't Hooft has a nice resource list. Also Susskind's theoretical minimum. A university library is also a very nice thing to have on hand. I'm largely self-taught and I can tell you it's not easy, but if you are passionate about a subject it gets to be rewarding (emotionally and intellectually if not fiscally). Best thing to do is follow your interests. | |

I have become acutely aware over the years since getting out of college how essential a grasp of the math is and there are aspects of it that I feel I understand in broad outline (group theory seems fundamentally not horribly intractable, although it also seems to get complicated pretty fast) but I feel immensely frustrated with the slow pace of acquisition of new knowledge. The CMS detector is wild, btw :) Large Hadron Collider is Large. | |
