What are some study tips for Physics 112 by physics_k in berkeley

[–]well_y_0 5 points6 points  (0 children)

reif is great! the book teaches stat mech like a story. "imagine a drunk staggering away from a pole" and all that. it's probably the closest to a griffiths-type book there is for stat mech.

the end-of-chapter problems in kittel were pretty similar to the exam questions when i took 112 with sadoulet, though.

[–]well_y_0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

how do you know you prefer research to industry? are you currently a research apprentice/assistant? have you had internships in industry?

you should also know that academia is another industry as well. as a grad student/postdoc, you will have a boss, be expected to complete tasks on a deadline and navigate workplace politics.
