maybe some advanced physics past the GIRs as well - especially computational physics |
Sadly, there's not too much here in terms of computational physics. That being said, there is an absolutely amazing class put together by the man who came up with Scheme. "6.946: Computational Approach to Classical Mechanics" which has to be the most highly-thought-of class I've heard of since I got here. Sussman's in charge (the guy who wrote the 6.001 book "Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs."). The book, if you want to look into it, is "Structure and Interpretation of Classical Mechanics."
The same fellow is putting together a new book, keeping with the theme, "Structure and Interpretation of General Relativity." I can't wait.
