Up coming course offerings in relativity: Fall 2025 and Spring 2026: Relativity I and II respectively How to prepare to become a theoretical physicist at Troy University: Theoretical (as opposed to experimental) physics concerns itself with the mathematical and philosophical aspects of physics. Like anything else, theoretical physicists come in different varieties. For example, a theoretical physicist might study fundamental theory like quantum field theory or general relativity. On the other hand, a phenomenologist would apply a fundamental theory(/theories) to a particular physical problem (cosmology for example). Yet others search for analytic or numerical solutions to the relevant equations. Regardless of these finer details, as an undergraduate student at Troy University, a student interested in theoretical physics should take as many courses in physics and mathematics as possible. |
