While systems in quantum mechanics are typically reserved for modelling sub-atomic systems, they can be rearranged or redefined to solve for more macroscopic systems that would typically be reserved for kinematic calculations. One in particular is Schrodinger’s equation, which is primarily in order to “collapse” a wave function, in order to calculate the energy within a quantum system. When the wave function itself is expanded into abstract terms, we can see that it is nothing more than the frequency and oscillation of event. As such, we can feasibly apply large scale systems to the equation in order to calculate super accurate results for otherwise basic system calculations.
Matt, I am very excited to hear your talk! I have only taken introductory physics, so I am interested to learn more about another intersection of physics and math.
I am very interested in hearing about your talk. I took college physics in high school but this does not sound like anything I learned about in physics. I know math and physics are related but I’m interested to see how specifically.
This talk sounds very interesting! I like that you have chosen to include an application in physics, as I find it very interesting to see how mathematical equations are extended to other fields. An equation to collapse a wave seems like it would be both fascinating to learn about and useful to apply in scientific study.
The only thing about Schrodinger I’ve heard about was his cat. I’m looking forward to hearing about how one of his equations relates to mathematics.
You seem very interested in this topic and I am excited to see your perspective on it! It will be interesting to see how equations typically reserved for subatomic systems can be altered to apply to kinematics.
Matt your teaser was very interesting. I have only a brief knowledge of physics so I am very much looking forward to your talk. Physics is incredibly complex and so I am also looking forward to at least understanding something in physics!
Matt your talk sounds very interesting. I have never taken physics so this is a new thing for me to learn! I cant wait to attend your talk and gain a better understanding of the complexity of Schrodinger’s equation!
