How to Become a Good Theoretical Physicist
- moistgorilla 14y agoThankyou for this. It's amazing how many free resources are out their for those that look hard enough. It's even better when someone takes their time to lay out a path for people to follow.

- gwillen 14y agoGerard 't Hooft, the author of this page, is surely one of the smartest people alive, with a Nobel Prize in physics. I'm excited to see that he's set forth a course of study; I only got to study a little bit of physics while getting my CS degree, and it's great to have guidance on how to pick up where I left off.
- da-bacon 14y agoA nice list. The only area I'd add is statistics. Eventually the theory's got to be tested, and understanding the methods experimentalists use is very useful in navigating that world.
