learning Definition and 27 Threads

Hey all. I've always loved physics....but never took the subject in high school or even college. Now that my 2 teenage daughters are taking it in HS, it's time for me to learn a bit more. I'm here to learn, help my kids, and entertain the rest of you with my ignorance :)

Am still a student. 🙂

Hello, This month, I've solved around 700 problems in trigonometry. And, I probably went over 200 problems again to internalize a few concepts, but I still have that feeling that I'm missing something. Last week, I was practicing math in cafeteria (early in the morning) and my math professor...

Hi, just found this on google so signed up. Never too late to learn and with so many things going on around me I would like nothing more than to get to bottom of things and learn how things work, and how science impacts on us. Put off by science at school but now I find it totally fascinating...

Thanks for the add. Look forward to learning from you all.

I have had a life long interest and fascination with physics and love to learn more about the different aspects of it. This forum is greatly appreciated for the wealth of knowledge and experience that is freely shared amongst the members. I apologize in advance for my child like wonder and...

I am not a student, nor my everyday work is related to physics in any way. Basically I am an enthusiast on physics, and I have question whose answers I like to find.

I like learning. Electrical engineer background. Now lets try Chemistry.

Hello, I am currently learning Python as a basis for further studies in programming. The course that I took at college was quite basic, teaching us the basic concepts required for programming, and some web oriented concepts like data scraping, APIs, automated tasks using bots. As I delved...

More research is confirming that taking handwritten notes improves learning. The discussion of this research appeared in https://www.newsweek.com/neuroscientists-reveal-trick-help-study-1863968.

Hi all, I'm a theoretical physicist (by training) who now works on machine learning projects (mostly) but also app and 3D development. I go back to physics whenever I have the chance!

I recently found this on facebook. It makes sense to me and addresses some common complaints on what one might study:

hello! I'm currently in an Intro to physics class, and I'm not the most physically inclined. I look forward to learning from you all!

Hello - I am here to learn!

I'm here to learn and have fun.

Hello everyone, my name is Jordan, I'm french Canadian, 29 y/o eager to learn more about science. Not for academic purposes (as of yet), but trying to feed my hunger for learning !

Like the title says, simply looking for a good guide to learning Mathematica? Ideally, a website or other free resource, as with Christmas coming up and being a father, money is extremely tight.

Hi. My story is weird and I need help. Brief backstory: I'm 21 and my brain is completely empty. As a kid, I didn't realize how interesting it was to do science and learn about anything, so I was weird. I'm the same way now. I can talk and talk endlessly about some unusual and difficult topic...

So excited to learn more about physics and to further my understanding! :partytime: This seems like a nice little corner of the internet. :]

Always looking for answers. Wanting to help my students discover the curiosity about the world. Would love to enable a desire for understanding all around us.

Hi, im in my third year in physics, and ive been wanting to look for a research field in which i can begin learning about it, such as high energy, or statistical physics, and maybe present my bachelor tesis in any of these fields, but i dont know how to approach these subjects or where to begin...

I remember there was a method of learning/teaching mathematics where all they do in class is to force students to prove the theorems themselves. What was this method again? It was named after someone.... @fresh_42 ?

Hi. Looking for general advice on self studying math, physics, programming etc. What happens often with me is either I go too fast and encounter for which my basics aren't clear enough and going back and forth between chapters/modules boggs me down. So, I erase my overall progress and just...

My understanding of certain topics in physics has been flawed so now trying to learn it all over again. The internet is a fantastic place to relearn misunderstood concepts.

Hi PF! I am a new member and looking forward to learning new things here. Thanks!

I did not want to bump max in biology, so I stuck this here. So, my dilemma. I have a short time to learn 14 tracks, specifically for an Ozzy/Dio Sabbath tribute on drums. It is not that I have never played these live or never played them at all, my problem is I do not know the tracks! So...

Greetings, I am here to "brush up" on my general physics knowledge and more as a life long learner. My background is in biochemistry, but I believe in being well rounded as a scientist, a student and a educator.
