Are Clebsch-Gordan coefficients, the Ising Model, and Debye theory on the exam?

Debye model -- yes, Clebsch-Gordan coefficients and Ising Model -- no.

Okay thanks! Will I have to remember how to do div/grad/curl in cylindrical/spherical coordinates?

Thanks again. How much should I know about the magnetic vector potential (A), lasers, optical interferometers, and crystal structure?

Also, what about fission/fusion reactions? Should I know about things like the CNO-cycle and the s-process/r-process of decay?

Maybe a little, maybe a little, maybe a little, none, I don't know.

No calculations on any of this, except maybe fission/fusion reactions.
