Material science is awesome. Why isn't there more solids

chemistry is biology tier buddy

so fucking boring

You happen to be in gradschool?

we covered this in freshman year in mechanical engineering.

mat sci and solid mechanics is the least math intensive part of physics.
I've wondered why it's not covered in high school instead of the "algebra-based physics"

the basic derivations for stress or deflection need some calculus. continuum mechanics and constitutive relationships need tensors and PDEs. as far as i know, they don't teach most of that in high school, except calculus

Same. Its very conceptual

I work in a materials research department at a car company. Literally everyone is a physics phd/chemE phd
Apparently Matsci is a bit of a meme
