    Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and Physicists

    Although it's not my area of expertise I sometimes like to delve into a bit of Psychology. I came across the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator(mbti) a while ago and liked finding connections between it and other areas such as political affiliation. I was wondering if anyone here thought that there...

    What Physics Books and Career Paths Should a 15-Year-Old Explore?

    I'm pretty much in the same boat as you guys. I go to a small school as well, so there isn't really anyone else there interested in physics. A few other kids in my grade were thinking about starting a programing club, but after a few weeks of trying to get it set up they dropped the idea. I...

    Schools Preparing for college in high school.

    Thank you for all of the help so far. I really appreciate any advice. I actually have been in contact with a professor at a university. I go to a relatively small school that has a good gifted and talented program, so when I expressed an interest in working ahead in physics and possibly...

    Schools Preparing for college in high school.

    Currently I am a freshman in high school in the United States. I have been interested in physics for a while and have been studying on my own. Last summer I studied calculus using Calculus by James Stewart, which covered differentiation, integration, multivariable, and vector calculus. I have...

    What are some potential long-term physics projects for a high school student?

    After reading some of your other post I see that you are interested in some of the more difficult projects. When starting my search for a project I to was possessed to build a particle accelerator, similarly to you. This would be an extremely difficult project and I assume that you have...

    What are some potential long-term physics projects for a high school student?

    I have been facing a similar problem. I have found that the projects available to you are dependent on several things. One of the first things that you should think of is what are you particularly interested in. Are you interested in mechanics, EM, particle physics, or any of the other...

    Schools Can High School Students Study Complex Analysis Independently?

    Thanks for the advice. When I mentioned Complex Analysis I just meant to use it as an example of an advanced course. Much of the math section in The Road to Reality by Roger Penrose focusses on Complex Analysis. I found that the book left many gaps and over simplified many of the topics and...

    Schools Can High School Students Study Complex Analysis Independently?

    I am currently a freshman in high school in the United States. I am very interested in mathematical and theoretical physics. For about the past year or two I have been studying on my own. Over the last summer I spent most of July and August reading Calculus by James Stewart and feel that I...

    Schools Advice for courses for physics in high school.

    I am currently a freshman in high school and was looking for advice on which courses to take. Over the past summer I spent most of July and August reading Calculus by James Stewart. I have also been reading other books more specifically for physics such as An Introduction to Quantum Mechanics...
