First week of lectures

Think this is going quite well... I'm actually beginning to enjoy and look forward to lectures!

Did Sterling's formula today in lectures, gotta learn to derive that.

Have been crashing ther Physics lecture before my math lectures, it's very interesting!!! They're doing Lagrange Principle of Least Action now.

Learnt that it is simply a consequence of Newton's Second Law. Just that it's is replacing the Cartesian Coordinate system with any arbitary coordinate.

And things like Energy and Momentum are not real physical quantities at all. They only arise out of integrating F=ma wrt time and distance!
