    Studying How to study for Electromagnetism or something else in high school level?

    Since you say you know calculus, and are in the us. Then cc in majority of states offer free classes, or close to nothing, for high school students. So you can technically enroll into physics courses and or join physics/engineering club.

    Classical Looking for a thermodynamics book that 'ties it all together'

    I think you would need to know at least calculus to get a decent grasp on thermodynamics. Ie., studying the thermodynamics portion of any introductory calculus based physics course. However, my training is in mathematics, and I was shy 4 physics courses for a double major in math/physics. I...

    PhD in theoretical physics and a PhD in Pure Maths at an old age

    No one cares! Before embarking on further education endeavors, you may want to learn a bit of humility. You have no proven track record, so stop with the false bravado...

    Schools Which University should I go to for my undergrad in physics?

    All are great choices. Stop overthinking. Pick the one with the hottest girls. Go with the one that offers the higher scholarship amount. This would reduce the hours needed to work, and thus, more time to study.

    Is this a good self-study program?

    Tenenbaum is cool. But a better alternative near the same price, is the ode book by Ross. I find it more readable and offers better explanations imo. There is the version tutled introduction to ordinary differential equations. The one titled ordinary differential equations contains the intro...

    I Wish to Give Away a Textbook Set on The Calculus

    I actually found Spivak the harder of the three to read. To me, Courant, Apostol, Spivak in terms of readability for me.

    I Practice With Proofs? (Algebra, Trig, and Calc)

    If you want to get good at proofs i recommend working through two books and possibly working through a third, to understand basic arguments of proofs. Edwin E. Moise/Downs: Geometry Pommersheim: A Lively Introduction To Theory Of Numbers. HAMMOK:Book of Proofs. Moise book is a rigorous intro...

    Calculus What Chapters in Thomas' Calculus Would Calc I be?

    Typically up to integration, but only the case for simple functions like polynomial functions and basic u-sub.

    Engineering Is it possible for me to go into Aerospace Engineering at 37?

    Have you tried expanding job search to the defense sector in more general roles? Ie., something not as niche as "space."

    Why are Physicists so informal with mathematics?

    I studied pure math at university BS, and in next semester will be my final semester in MS pure math program. Oh i was also 4 classes short from a physics BS while doing my undergrad. Did not take much applied math courses besides the required cal sequence, ode, and intro linear. Take physics...
