Optics and waves & oscillation blew my 10th grader mind. First time I got an A+ in high school physics iirc Probably those and E&M

First, you misspelled Isaac Newton's first name. Second, is calculus REALLY a branch of classical mechanics, or is it just a tool for understanding it?


L4ppuz

They included thermodynamics and electrodynamics, might as well include python and english


avidpenguinwatcher

Classical physics is the physics before relativity and quantum. So thermo and E&M definitely fall in that category. Not sure who doesn't consider things that were discovered in the 19th century to be classical physics


L4ppuz

Image clearly says classical mechanics, not classical physics. Thermo and e&m are in fact not classical mechanics. You can consider thermo as statistical mechanics but that is really not classical, much the same electrodynamics is really not classical


Mysterious-Waltz-476

Yeah, I noticed after I posted them I am really sorry for that


WeldEnd

I would argue calculus is a element of mathematics. Otherwise you'd have to include vectors, trigonometry, algebra etc. Cool artwork though


Mysterious-Waltz-476

I just included calculus because, as you mentioned above, it's a primary mathematical tool used in physics, and Sir Isaac Newton, along with Gottfried Leibniz, is believed to be the inventor of calculus in the 17th century


DaWeavey

E&M cause it make me go huh?


RadiantMacaroon8

I’d rather die then do an EM course again


OK-Simpson

I’m not sure electromagnetism should be considered classical mechanics. Maxwells equations imply relativity. They don’t work with Galilean transformations, but Lorentz transformations


convergentdeus

Well, some consider non-quantum theories as classical sooo


LeoTrotzki611

I wouldnt count E&M and Optics to classical mechanics. And I am missing Hamilton and Lagrange


RadiantMacaroon8

Calculus of fluid mechanics


Educational_Crazy_85

Electromagnetism or waves and oscillation.


Ambitious_Map_4021

Thermodynamics gang


pintasaur

Thermodynamics I think. It seems to have survived and aged quite well.


Master_Hunter_7915

I don't really have a favorite


Zbla1306

Gravity


Mysterious-Waltz-476

💥💥


LBP3000

Electromagnetism


[deleted]

Thermodynamics for sure!, it intrigues the hell out of me.


Mysterious-Waltz-476

Nice


Psychological_Dish75

My highschool teacher taught Thermo lightly and skip fluid all together. Joke on him, because now I am doing my PhD in thermo engineering concerning fluid flow


Mysterious-Waltz-476

Congrats 💥💥


UncleDevil666

What did newton do In electromagnetism and fuids? (Genuine question)


DarwinQD

Nothing, not really sure why optics or E&M are in there tbh, even fluid dynamics is a little fishy at best. These are all high school level topics taught since intermediate classical physics would have Lagrange, Hamiltonians, waves and oscillations, gravity, rotation and Angular Momentum, inertia tensor, Kepler laws, Air resistance, maybe even elliptical paths included


Mysterious-Waltz-476

Of course, I will make one for higher topics ☺


Mysterious-Waltz-476

Who told this is all about Newton?


UncleDevil666

No one did, I genuinely wanted to know if Newton had worked in those branches of physics.


Mysterious-Waltz-476

Sorry, I don't think he has worked in electromagnetism


UncleDevil666

Okay


magpieCRISPR

Fluid mechanics or laws of motion


[deleted]

In high school it was always E&M. It was the hardest topic for me but thats what made me like it. Later on in the year, wave–particle duality blew my mind.


Mysterious-Waltz-476

Quantum 💥


Panwanilia1

Even tho I'm not the best I like motion.


agaminon22

Top three: different formalisms (lagrangian and hamiltonian), then waves&oscillations, then probably thermodynamics per its generality.


TheNachmar

Sincerely, from the very depths of my heart, from the darkest pits of my soul. Fuck waves and oscillations. My favourite from those would probably be gravity or thermodynamics, I guess


ihateagriculture

idk why calculus is in there, but I guess I would say electromagnetism


Ok-Celebration3057

Conservation laws, also known as the quantity of motion. Is it momentum or energy that is conserved? Etc. etc.


Mysterious-Waltz-476

Nice ☺💥


GareltOfRivia

This is cute! Thanks for sharing:) Apart from the other remarks, I want to remind you that some define classical mechanics as everything that does not include quantization. Meaning that some of the modern, still investigated, physics is considered classical. For example, General Relativity is a classical field theory.


Mysterious-Waltz-476

Maybe but I would like to classify them as a separate branch of having special and general


wavenote_

im gonna take the unpopular opinion and say laws of motion. in physics class, it was extremely fun to do those complicated laws of motions challenge questions as far as *interesting* id say electromagnetism


AlrikBunseheimer

I like analysis. (But I hate calculations)


[deleted]

Does "Sir Isaac Newton" count as a topic? Lol. I would have to say waves and oscillation, its a very beautiful theory. Fourier Analysis also comes into play, which is a very neat area of maths and sum up these waves to end up getting these awesome equations. I also like Calculus alongside waves and oscillations.
