In summary, self-study can greatly improve one's understanding of physics concepts. By actively engaging in independent learning and practice, individuals are able to develop a deeper understanding of the fundamental principles and theories of physics. Self-study allows for a more personalized and flexible approach to learning, catering to individual learning styles and pace. Additionally, self-study can enhance critical thinking skills and problem-solving abilities, which are crucial in the field of physics. However, it is important to note that self-study should be supplemented with guidance from a qualified instructor and practical application of concepts to fully grasp the complexities of physics.

New to the forum. Studied physics in undergrad before switching to a philosophy major. Realized I wasn't learning the math properly and it was too late to go back and redo it. Now I'm trying to make a better go of it on my own pace in my own time.

Thanks in advance!
