Step 1: identify major fields in Physics
- Electromagnetism
- relativity
- astrophysics
- quantum mechanics
- classical mechanics
- thermodynamics
Step 2: identify top derivations associated with each area
- Electromagnetism: Maxwell's equations
- Relativity: Lorentz (time dilation, length contraction)
- astrophysics:
- Quantum mechanics: Schrodinger, Uncertainty
- Classical mechanics: F=ma, conservation of energy and momentum
- thermodynamics: entropy
Step 3:
There are expressions, domains, and notations that need to be included to demonstrate the comprehensive nature of the project and the capability of the framework.
Expressions | Domains | Notation |
---|---|---|
Schrodinger's equation | Quantum | Dirac/bra-ket |
Maxwell's equations | Electromagnetics | differentiation, vectors |
contravariant/covariant | Electrodynamics | Einstein notation |
Navier Stokes | Fluid Mechanics | differentiation, vectors |
mass-energy relation | ||
Special Relativity | ||
Thermodynamics | ||
Uncertainty relation | Quantum Mechanics | |
energy conservation | classical mechanics | |
string theory | ||
wave equation | ||
statistical mechanics | ||
aerodynamics | ||
simple harmonic oscillator |
Other comprehensive lists of "things to know" in Physics
The Physics Derivation Graph has a few pertinent scales:
- topics within physics, ie thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, classical mechanics
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_physics#Branches_of_physics
- https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/High_school_physics
- major (often named) expressions within a domain, ie "E=mc^2", Schrodinger's equation, Maxwell's equations
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics_equations
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Equations_of_physics
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_equations
- https://www.mcat-prep.com/mcat-physics-equations-sheet/
- https://physics.info/equations/
- derivations linking the major expressions
- Derivation of Electromagnetic Waves from Maxwell’s Equations
- Deriving time dependent Schrödinger equation from Wave-Mechanics
- abstract syntax trees of an expression
In this post, I'll focus on finding examples of derivations linking the major expressions
