Your best bet is probably to try to do well in community college, and then transfer to a 4-year school, and then do well there. I'm presuming if you get your grades up in community college, you should be able to transfer back to a 4-year school. However, it will take a lot of time and patience.
Out of curiosity, do you believe it is always better to learn math in a group, or do you think you can teach yourself the subject? I'm curious because I am currently attempting to teach myself algebra and trigonometry (and eventually calculus).
I'm already in a university, but I've primarily taken Gen-Ed courses. I agree that I should probably go to a community college, and then transfer, but I'm already here now. It's not that great of a school, but at least the tuition isn't ridiculous like it is in some colleges. It's really only...
Unfortunately, the position I'm at right now is where I'm pretty much on step 1 of step 1000 in terms of getting where I need to be to graduate. I've got both elementary and college algebra, trigonometry, pre-calculus, and calculus to learn/re-learn before I can even start taking your basic...
I appreciate the beauty of physics but I also understand that I need a lot more math before I can understand it conceptually. I obviously couldn't understand quantum mechanics with the level of math I'm at now. I can't even really understand classical mechanics besides at a very rudimentary...
I looked through the books by Simmons and solved some problems. I ordered some textbooks on Elementary and Intermediate Algebra, College Algebra, Trigonometry, and Physics and have been self-studying through the algebra textbooks. I answered almost all problems correctly and it seemed fairly...
Study math, study math, and then study some math some more, because I eventually want to study physics. Followed by briefly listening to music and/or messing around on the computer. I have an inordinate amount of free time due to dropping too many classes, and literally have no friends.
Hello everyone; hopefully the title was sufficiently descriptive. Essentially, I'm trying to learn physics. I've been looking through various college physics textbooks, and while some of the problems make sense to me, most of them don't, and I believe it is because I lack the foundation in the...
