Right now I am a senior in high school and am planning on going into engineering once I graduate. I am halfway through grade 12 physics but it's very slow paced and everything we do is very easy. I have learned most of the basic knowledge (basic of the basic really), somewhat more than the...
If i find interest in it, would it make it easier to understand?
If so, what are some ways of forming interest?
I usually just study so as to pass a test.Which hasnt worked well for me. I just do enough to so that i can solve problems that will be similar to tests
Hello, I'm new on this forum and I recently started studying physics at the University of Leuven (in Belgium). What I first noticed is that my schedule is packed like crazy and it's the number of hours that bother me more then the difficulty of the stuff we need to learn. So my question is: does...
Homework Statement
Hi everyone,
I am taking 'Mechanics' ( Introductory level - Calculus based ) this summer. I already passed my Calculus I ( Differentiation ). The textbook we are using is " Physics for scientists and engineers" by Serway. I am facing some difficulties with learning. I...
I know a good number of people who seem to be able to self study physics material - aka read ahead for classes, read textbooks outside of classes, and I always find myself jealous. I'm usually able to learn pretty well on my own if I have a project, or if I'm trying to learn something really...
Hello, I'm a recent college graduate and I am applying to grad school. In order to be permanently accepted into grad school I must have a physics class with lab. While the school does offer a physics course with lab, the university is located an hour and fifteen from the grad school and I don't...
Hi, guys. I know that there was a person who asked the same question as me, but the content that I want to learn is in the realm of Astrophysics. I was wondering what would be the best way to start learning about this subject in terms of what texts to buy. I don't have much of a science...
Hello,
I'm in high school;last year.
And I'm wondering what is the best approach to learn physics from scratch, I've forgotten most of the ideas behind physics.
cheers
Hello,
I am currently a student in AP Physics. I enjoy the subject but I can not seem to grasp concepts and work on problems in a timely manner. When I work on homework, I can understand what I do some of the time, but when exam time comes, I tend to do poorly and I remember how to solve...
Hi, so I'm about to do my 3rd year in high school, and I've been trying to find a good book that could help me learn about physics, most book I found aren't helping since they only do the explanation part and no mathematics.
The only book I found that helped is a book that was writing in...
Sorry if this is in the wrong section.
Anyway I have one question given a student with a knowledge of the following subjects: Calculus, MultiVariable calculus, Real Analysis, Complex Analysis, Linear Algebra and abstract Algebra. How long in general would it take to learn a BSC degree level...
Hi, first of all not if this is right place to post a question like this, basically I do not know much about physis I am ok with maths and want to learn more about physics starting with the simple basics. I eventually would like to go onto to a degree in the U.K. as that is where I am based...
Hi, I just registered here, my reason for joining this post was to learn. I've had a flick through some of these posts and they are out of my league. In case you're wondering I studied science at school. I have been a bit lazy and didn't go to college or university, but keep my eye on what I...
Hi guys, I'm not to great at physics and all but I want to learn more. I hope you guys can help me in that aspect.First of all, how do neutron stars form? I was told their electrons shrink into their nucleuses and therefore the whole star shrinks, but what causes the atoms to behave like that?
I posted something like this in the Quantum Physics forums, i would also like a good book on relativity and such, but again if the math is past something like a high-school calculus course it may be a bit advanced. I would be interested in math books too, ones that helped teach some of the...
I've decided I definitely don't want to go back to school to learn physics, for various reasons (not the least of which I find it impossible to be guided by others). I'm wondering what affect my lack of formal education would have on my career prospects, as they relate to my knowledge of...
I have a job as a salesman in a store that gets maybe 5 customers a day if I'm lucky. No excessive chores (vacuum, clean bathrooms, takes maybe an hour all together), so I'm left with hours of time of not doing anything. So I figure (especially over the summer) that I might as well learn a...
hi everyone,
i just happened to see this site the other day, and it seems pretty cool... so i joined!
Umm, rite now I am a junior in high school. Stuck in the suburbs. Right now almost everyone at my school only cares about grades and doing the stuff they have to to have a good college...
