In summary, Adeel Hussain is asking for help with transitioning into a physics stream, but he needs someone who is comfortable with math to help him. He suggests hiring someone with a PHD in applied math, or finding an online tutor. He also suggests sitting for the BC Calc test and the AP Physics/Chem tests.

well I am 15 currently at high school i want to get help with my physics i want to learn calculus. My high school won't let me do physics but i LOVE it i hate the fact that because i messed up in my year 9 exams i can't do physics , i find it really sad.

So if you Physicist could help me i would be really greatful.

Is there no way to transition into a physics stream through hard work?

Calculus and physics, sure. I might be able to help you out if we could get on IM somehow.

Free of charge, since I'm still a student. I'm interested in becoming a math/physics teacher in the future, so I could use the practice; and I have plenty of free time an energy.

Send me a PM here on the forum if you're interested (perhaps with your
IM info, if you have any).

Go to craigslist and look for science tutors (college level with MSs or PHDs in your area).
They generally charge you $15/hour for say someone with a PH.D in applied math.

These guys are desperate for work right now (and in the future) and should be pretty easy to find for slave prices. Hire them to teach you twice a week... and force you to complete college level curriculum every semester.
Cheapest, best and easiest way to learn these kinds of things at your age
(talking at most $600-1000/semester doing this)
After that just sit for everything from the BC Calc test to the highest AP Physics/Chem tests and go into your nearest state school placing out of all of the first year crap (English would be nice too... since that test is sooo easy)

What math are you in? Before you get to Calculus, you have to make sure that you have Alg 2, Trig, and Precal under your belt. How comfortable are you with your math?
 

FAQ: HELP im 15 and want to learn Physics

What is the best way to start learning physics at 15 years old?

The best way to start learning physics at 15 years old is to have a strong foundation in mathematics, particularly algebra and geometry. It is also helpful to have a basic understanding of scientific concepts, such as forces, energy, and motion.

Is it too late to start learning physics at 15?

No, it is never too late to start learning physics. While some students may have started learning physics at a younger age, it is still possible to achieve a good understanding of the subject at 15 years old. As long as you are willing to put in the effort and have a passion for the subject, you can succeed in learning physics.

What are some good resources for learning physics at 15?

There are many resources available for learning physics at 15, including textbooks, online courses, and educational videos. Your school or local library may also have resources that you can use. Additionally, there are many physics forums and communities where you can ask questions and get help from others who are also learning physics.

How can I make learning physics at 15 more interesting?

One way to make learning physics more interesting is to try to apply the concepts you learn to real-life situations. You can also conduct experiments or simulations to better understand the concepts. Another idea is to find a study partner or join a study group to make learning more engaging and interactive.

What are some potential career paths with a background in physics at 15?

A background in physics can lead to various career paths, including engineering, research, teaching, and even entrepreneurship. With a strong understanding of physics, you can pursue a career in any field that involves problem-solving, critical thinking, and analytical skills.
