Writings on research and researchers
"Physics is not a finished logical system. Rather, at any moment it spans a great confusion of ideas, some that survive like fold epics from the heroic periods of the past, and others that arise like utopian novels from our dim premonitions of a future grand synthesis." Steven Weinberg, Gravitation and Cosmology
About
This page is created by Yang Li to provide information on research on theoretical & computational physics for beginners. This page is still under construction. Stay tuned.Introduction to scientific research

For most practical purpose, publications will be the products of our work, though not the final ones. So, I outlined the process of a publication in the figure on the left.
Four stages of a research project
- Idea stage
- Analysis
- Computation
- Publication
- Further stages
