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...
Wow, atyy thank you!
Hooft's list seems to be exactly what I have been looking for!
Thank you all so much. I definitely have enough resources now to get serious.
Thank you thank you! :D
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...
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...
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?
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...
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...
