    Bug Error: "Need Valid ID" - Get Help & Confirmation

    Yes Sir. https://www.physicsforums.com/index.php?threads/882589/ I also forgot to include that I am using the PF application on a Galaxy S4. I wonder if the app has something to do with the problem.

    Starting My Journey in Astrophysics: Advice for Catching Up on Mathematics

    I may be. Still new to posting in a forum. I've just tried responding in some threads of interest. My apologies for the sternness of my last post. Just a bit frustrating retyping messages multiple times.

    Studying Studying habits and sticking to them.

    Dishsoap, I'll be doing my AS at community college and looking to transfer. Gleem, such an obvious piece of advice but excellent it is. I just hope they don't see me as a waste of time.

    Studying Studying habits and sticking to them.

    I'm in community college, yes. Just finished algebra and starting precalc. I think what I mentioned to say is be am active part of the physics community. Our science community is probably about 5 strong at my college, none interested in physics, so I've got nobody to share thoughts with. I've...

    Studying Studying habits and sticking to them.

    It's official on my transcript but with no official knowledge from the classroom, I've nothing to contribute except outside experience. As for study habits, my motivation is severely lacking. My interest in physics is good, but outside of that, there's little support and many distractions and...

    Studying Studying habits and sticking to them.

    People with interest in higher education in my area is rare, let alone physics majors. Since I've never taken a physics class, all of my studying is out of class and on my own.

    Starting My Journey in Astrophysics: Advice for Catching Up on Mathematics

    Is there a way to get a valid forum id? I keep getting a message any time I try and access certain threads or post a comment and has posed a nuisance to say the least.

    Studying Studying habits and sticking to them.

    Hello all. Getting straight to the point, I am 23 and still a freshman in college due to military and other jobs. I have a passion for physics and have an easy time understanding concepts, as well as understanding math despite failing math many times growing up. One area I am lacking is...

    Studying Which area of physics should I study?

    I believe I'm partially in the same boat with you, Griffin. I got horrible grades in high school, no future plans other than going to the military. Now that is all said and done, my interest in physics is sparked, I'm stuck playing catch up, especially with math. It seems like you've got...

    Studying What's the best way to start learning physics?

    There's a lot of open course ware on the Internet where you can learn a vast amount of subjects. However, my limited experience has yielded very informative lectures/videos with a homework program on a website that doesn't work and stays broken for quite an extensive period of time. Very...

    Starting My Journey in Astrophysics: Advice for Catching Up on Mathematics

    Hello, PF, my name is Jacob. I posted once before but never really dove into the physics community as I wanted to. I've had a passion for astronomy since I was a young boy but recently found an interest in physics despite having a hard time with mathematics growing up. I joined the Marines after...

    Courses How do you become good at physics?

    Harder questions reward you with more knowledge in my opinion. Of course, steady progression is a good idea to develop a solid understanding. But I'm willing to bet you've got a much better understanding than I. I'm still trying to grasp pre-calculus at 23!
