Simulated "astrophysics" equations Hi all, TL;DR - Please tell me what level of mathematics I require for the equations posted at the end I am a software developer that is eager to improve my knowledge of maths and physics, however the mathematics required for my BSc only went through algebra...

Hello, I studied algebra a few years ago and have unfortunately forgotten most of what I have learned. I am very interested in self-tutoring myself in physics, probably with a combination of online lectures and some textbooks I own. Do you recommend I re-learn all of algebra and trig...

Hello all, I am looking for a set of videos/youtube lectures which can take somebody from zero physics knowledge up to a decent standard. This is purely for personal reasons as I'm not taking exams and would just like to have a relatively good understanding of the universe (as we know it)...

Thank you Steve that is encouraging - whilst I say it is self taught what I mean is I have independent study. I have a tutor available but the "classes" are self taught - no lectures. I will definitely post things here when I get stuck though :)

When do you hit "the wall"? Hey all, I am currently in my first year of undergraduate degree on a software development BSc and am studying a quite introductory mathematics course which effectively only goes up to higher algebra and trig/geometry. Most of the course is self taught from...

Hello all, A brief history is that as a child (I'm only 26 now) I had performed poorly at Mathematics and it wrecked my confidence. I had no interest in long division, basic algebra etc and focused elsewhere because I never viewed it as a means to an end. Suffice to say I suffered a bit of Math...
