Is This Study Plan Sufficient for Basic Maths and Physics Foundations?

  • Thread starter solitaire
  • Start date
In summary, the individual is looking for help with starting their serious study of maths and physics. They plan to start from the basics, including topics such as sets, real numbers, algebraic expressions, and matrices in maths, and scalars, vectors, kinematics, and forces in physics. The individual is wondering if this is enough to cover the fundamentals and if they should also focus on developing their math skills. It is suggested that they brush up on their basic math skills and take courses in algebra, trigonometry, and pre-calculus before tackling calculus and introductory physics. They are also encouraged to read Feynman's Lectures to keep their love for physics alive.

alright guys this is my first post here.hope you might help .im going to start serious study of maths and physics.i know very little about both subject so without directly jumping to advance maths and physics i want to start from basic.this is how i'll go:-

maths

Sets
system of real numbers,exponents and radicals
algedric expression
factorization GCD,LCM
algebric sentences
matrices
quadratic equation
logarithm
fundamental of geometry,theorems
circle
trigonometry

and physics

scalars and vectors
kinematics
forces and motion
statics(equilibrium,torque etc)
circular motion and gravitation
work,energy and power
heat
waves and sound
light(propagation,reflection and refraction)
electricity
electromagnatisn

if i learn this topic is it enough as far as basic and fundamental goes? i never took both of these subject serious(now I am regreting for that) that's why I am pretty weak.after I am done with these basic stuff i'll start college.

Depends what you want to learn it for... there's a whole lot of maths and physics out there.

Ok. I am assuming you want to learn the math/physics in order to go into a math/physics/engineering field.

The fundamentals of all of the stuff you have listed under physics is usually covered in an introductory course in university. If you are interested, by all means start studying it, but I think at this point, putting more time into developing your math skills would be more beneficial, considering you will do all that physics once you get to university. Brush up on your basic math skills, and then, if possible, take a couple math courses in Algebra/Trigonometry, and Pre-calculus. Once your through those, you will be prepared for a calculus course. At this point, you should be ready for Calculus and Intro Physics courses. Don't worry about taking Calculus at the same time as a Calc-based physics course either. Most intro courses only use a little calculus for derivations, not much else.

You could study maths intensively and read Feynman's Lectures at the same time. FL doesn't use a lot of maths. I mean, the formulas are there but the emphasis is more on theory and teh physical principles. Just to keep your love for physics alive.
