Feynman said that his students struggled with a reverse problem: how to know that "harnew", an important part in QM equations that the lecturer talks about, actually stands for hν.
- 12thhandyman 2y agoAlways thought it was kind of cool how Feynman writes about, when learning calculus and maths as a younger student, would create and use his own symbols for things and how it worked well for him. But kind of realized if he was going to enter the scientific community would need to conform to the standardized notation/symbols for equations etc.
