I have a question : I start my masters this year and need to invest in a computer. Can I get a windows machine and use WSL and docker (efficiently) rather than getting a mac? Or is mac the way to go?
Some people have really strong opinions about this topic. :p I don't think running windows should pose a problem. I have done it myself for a while. If you do run into an arrogant TA or an ignorant professor saying "Running C++ with Armadillo on windows is _impossible_" then they are lying. That illustrates an important point, though; computer scientists and computationally oriented natural scientists usually prefer a UNIX/linux-like system. This means it can be difficult to get help or support. Which in turn can be a good thing (in the long term)! Learning is best when you figure stuff out on your own. OK rant over.
Hello I know its not related to the video, but everyone I asked hasnt responded to me. I'm studying to be approved in the Computational Physics Bachelor course here in Brazil(USP) and I wish to know if, with this degree, I'm able to be a Theoretical Physicist or I can only do this with a Bachelor Degree in Physics. Thanks in advance.
Hi, Raphael. I don't know the exact curriculum of your comp. physics degree and I am therefore unable to answer your question. You should hear with someone at your university if the degree qualifies for entry into the appropriate masters/phd programme. In general terms - there is not a distinct difference, imho, between a "computational physicist" and a "theoretical physicist". That said, make sure you have the necessary courses to advance ;) Good luck with you studies!
Been waiting for this video!! Thank you so much for posting it it means a lot to me
Wanna see my brownian motions?
Thanks for this great video
Will you be willing to share the code of your lil simulations ? It would help us to learn alot I think
Thanks for sharing this knowledge.
My pleasure ;)
loved it!

@@GregWintherArtist Thanks a lot m8!
Good and detailed video.
Thank you!
great video!
Yo Greg i have a Univeristy project, Im relating quantum mehanics to predicting the stock market, would you be interested 🤣??
Cool! Please tell me more about it :)

Oh! You have the Black Scholes model behind you.
Remember me when you become famous
bro made 69 vids and then stopped 💀. Dude come back!
But at what cost?
69 th video Nice
great video!
Thanks!
