I just want to be able to read physics equations
This would be pretty cool! But I wonder if there would be some dead ends... for example set math. Can arrays replicate the behavior of sets in mathematical notation? What about irrational numbers? Divide by 0 (which almost universally causes a crash)? It's a good thought though i wonder...- bugmagnet

I just want to be able to read physics equations
Thank you guys for the responses, I really appreciate it. I have MIT near me, I have thought about maybe auditing classes there. But they also have opencourseware, which I will look into more seriously as per your suggestion. I will read it. Thank you for the recommendation! I have...- bugmagnet

I just want to be able to read physics equations
My goal is close to what PeroK suggested: I want to understand the problems at both a metaphorical level and mathematical level, to the point where it is at least possible for me to solve them. I am a game developer, so I have modeled force/mass/momentum physics (even though physics are...- bugmagnet

I just want to be able to read physics equations
Thanks for all the responses :) I understand it algebraically. But I don't know what it means in physics because I don't know what the variables represent. I presume I could gain insight if I knew. How/where could I look it up? Perhaps I am. Then where to begin?- bugmagnet

I just want to be able to read physics equations
I am a layman in physics. I am a programmer. I am not looking for a career in physics. But I do want to understand physics. I know it's not really possible if I can't read the math. I feel that if I could just read the equations, ie at least know what the symbols represent then I could begin...- bugmagnet

A physics layman, forever learning
Hi everyone ^_^ I am a professional... but in unrelated fields. I have always had an interest in physics, in particular theoretical physics and cosmology. I joined in the hopes that this is a place where I could ask questions, and ideally learn more about the details that are always missing...- bugmagnet
