Lowkey, just differential equations made me want to kms. Shrodingers equation was bad but not so difficult as to be singularly memorable. My memory of my physics courses are a void and I switched my major.

Difeq is a horrible pain in the ass until it clicks and becomes easier than that stupid non vector geometric integration. Is it really too much to ask to be allowed to stick to matrices and vectors‽

I'm just grateful I had stats 2 instead of calc 3

I think it was the second semester of quantum mechanics when we got to perturbation theory that I really became afraid.

I never even made it to perturbation theory but hearing about it from other physics major was part of the reason I switched to history lol

Ah, DEs. ~~What's so hard though, they are just linear algebra on function space~~

Jest aside, yeah mathematical device for physics could easily become quite hard and unwieldy.

I should strangle you lmao.

Honestly the math just took my passion out of physics. I love how physics explains the world and I love how strange everything is. I love learning about physics but doing it... I used to think I was good at math lol
