I am aware of that. The reason I brought up classes is because of your mention of classes being trivial and that being related to studying the books. P.S. I looked up those books and found nothing past high school level besides statistics and number theory. Are those competition prep books...

Well given that I scored a 98% in my last class without studying once while about 90% of students in it did not even pass, I guess I can say that classes are trivial for me. But I will have to purchase those books and see how that goes.

It would probably help if I told you my percentile for a standardized test my county requires 3 times each year. Last time I took it I scored in about the 98th-99th percentile. It might also help to say that I have helpful tools in my house that make it much easier. I have many whiteboards...

Hello I'm currently in high school but I am teaching myself ALOT of math and physics. I'm planning to go to Princeton, MIT, or Stanford. I am curious, since I will already know all of it, if I will be able to acquire a Bachelors degree in physics in one or two years by testing out. If I do...

Wow.

Okay, looks like I will be adding that book to my shelf then. Thank you.

Hello I have a question reguarding human calculation. I'm in high school and I have been called a "math whiz" when it comes to subjects like algebra or calculus. But my school has kids using calculators so much that I haven't been using my head much for calculations. Because of this, I feel...

Most likely cosmology

Hello I was looking for a volume set in intermediate/advanced math and I can't seem to find anything. I already have a book in calculus 2 but I'm looking to self study everything after that through advanced math. I want to be a theoretical physicist, but I'm open to learning interesting math...

I am currently in high school and have been driven to become a theoretical physicist in an unsure field for quite some time now. I have been unfairly placed in a very easy math class even though I already know it. I have been studying upon subjects such as algebra 2 and pre-cal and recently...

Okay, so my question here is, If I want a PhD. in a certain field of theoretical physics, which field would be more open to other fields. I was thinking something like mathematical physics, particle physics, or cosmology. Since there are other fields either based off of, or are closely...

Thank you. By the way, I got this list from what other people say, and what I know. Not from that irrational "horoscope" thing. I asked because I currently have no acquaintances or contacts that know what it takes to become a physicist. But once again, Thank you. I will use this information...

With these attributes, would I be likely to succeed as a theoretical physicist? Which ones should I work on to improve? -Superior Intelligence -Curious -Committed -ADHD (Diagnosed) -Show OCD-like signs -Creative -Shy (at times) -Like to read but tend to procrastinate with it at times -Observant...

Based on what I have learned, I know that a theoretical physicist has to work in a specific field. But can one work in two? For instance, a person who has a PhD in cosmology but is working on both cosmology and field theories (quantum, unified). Or maybe even the same person working at a...

I'm in high school, thinking about what I want to do in college. I am aiming to get some sort of PhD in Theoretical Physics. I would love to just get one in general theoretical physics, but I am unsure if that is offered. I know that I can go into specific areas such as particle or field...
