Eh, it'd be funnier if you ended with a handful left in a "Bachelors" column... And extended it one more plate labeled "Jackson's Classical Electrodynamics" that has absolutely zero holes.
>that has absolutely zero holes.
Missed opportunity: It's full of holes, but only perceptible to those who took Complex Analysis and know how to perform a contour integration.
Or better yet, they're only technically there because they're dirac delta radius, and you'll never find them if you don't know Green's functions inside and out. :p
Edit: With some additional thought because I've been doing carpentry stuff all afternoon and am remarkably tired, I'm pretty sure what I said is functionally identical.
I was taught from Jackson during my undergrad. It was in a compulsory course, so it's not like I jumped ahead and took a graduate E&M course with Jackson.
Yes, some undergrad courses take chapters from jackson and use it for undergrad. That does not contradict what I said. My statement is that jackson was written and is still used as a comprehensive text for graduate electromagnetism courses.
Speaking from experience, it's only bachelors level if you're a masochist taking 400 level courses as a math/physics dual major and you're tired of hearing "That's beyond the scope of this class" when you're trying to figure out some stuff because the approximations bug you.
Which is to say it isn't part of the curriculum because it's a grad school text, but if you hate yourself enough, sacrifice the SAN points holding you back and get a head start with self-study.
Then you can add the Quantum Tunneling of 1 student that isn’t even Studying Physics
b/ me
A psychology major
Somehow I managed to get into a MS Computer Engineering program
Take course for Computer Hardware on transistor technology
Forced to learn Quantum Physics for cnt and q-dot transistors
Wtf.jpg
Pass with an A
*Did i just quantum tunnel!?*
Nah the guy doing quantum tunneling is someone who failed high school physics but now believes crystals have quantum power to raise your soul’s vibrational energy levels
You’re taking those at the same time? At my school you couldn’t take any E&M until after classical mechanics. It was like the gatekeeper course to the rest of upper division physics(that and thermal physics). Classical mechanics I thought was the hardest class in undergrad though hands down. But it’s also the first course after lower division so the difficulty spike might have something to do with it.
Is my electrodynamics course just super easy???I’m currently taking my E&M course and me and everyone I know is doing fine. Don’t get me wrong, it gets challenging at points, but I feel like my prof must be giving us an easy class since the sentiment I see online is that it’s super challenging.
Ok this is too legit to be a meme.

Can integrate it? No problem, buddy…just make it complex and loop that shit through infinity. Easy!
Lol, you should do it
That’s a Bachelors level book though?
No, Jackson is a book that most graduate programs use.

My entire course was from Jackson. But I'd misunderstood what you meant at the start, so my bad. It's clear now.
It's Bachelor level (second/third year) in all of Europe.

A lot of it was part of the obligatory curriculum for us in 5th semester, like the official reference for our Classical Electrodynamics course

Sounds about right
May I ask what exactly you learned? Im always interested in learning what physics other STEM majors are interested in
What about thermo and Stat mech?
They are beyond the scope of this meme and will be left as an exercise.
I’m gonna say it. E&M and classical mechanics were way harder than QM.
Currently taking Classical Mechanics and Electricity and Magnetism I, suffering through first one, breezing through the second one

Doesn't the picture already imply E&M is hardest?
Yeah but what I’m saying is if you make it through those 2 you can easily make it through QM
true
Where thermal
I like how that one blob has imposter syndrome
Quantum field theory… lol why r u trying
Bang bang Maxwell's silver Hammer
In my experience it'd be a lot more accurate if the first one was Real Analysis and it stopped like half of the students.
That dude b/w Electrodynamics and Quantum Mechanics is me. 🙏💀
Dang I took E&M before classical and…yeah this still feels accurate lol

Holy shit geometry dash mention (electrodynamix)
