Studying How hard is undergrad physics with no physics background?
Hello. I have spoken to an academic supervisor and let her know my situation. I told her I don’t have a strong background in either physics or math and she recommended the classes I am enrolled in now. So I guess I have a little faith in her input but also appreciate input here to because a...- myowncompany

Studying How hard is undergrad physics with no physics background?
Hello, I'll try and keep it short and sweet. I'm 21, female and left school at 17 due to depression caused by the death of a loved. I did not finish high school. I was bright in English and History related subjects and always excelled but didn't take notice of maths or science until recent...- myowncompany

I apologise for being completely impatient on this thread, I'm just eager for answers and have to remember that this forum isn't as active as other forums which means replies may take time. I appreciate all your replies. I forgot to mention that I'm not just using Khan Academy but a lot of...- myowncompany

When to move from one math topic to another while self-teaching?
I'm using Khan Academy to learn math then when I have a strong understanding, I want to learn Physics. I'm starting from as far as I can back (Pre-Algebra / I know lol) but I want to refresh my learning which means starting from scratch. This may sound like a stupid question but how should I...- myowncompany

How much could I teach (myself) in 1 year?
I'm going to skip to the chase and give you the basics of my situation. I'm very weak at physics as i didn't take any high school classes (wasn't interested at the time) and also didn't finish high school due to personal reasons. I'm fairly good at algebra, some calculus but could use a lot...- myowncompany

Can I self-study physics from scratch before entering university in 2017?
I appreciate your reply. First of all, I agree that the title is a bit misleading although I would like to self-teach myself as much Maths then physics possible. I agree that won't even be a fraction of what is taught formally. I don't sound like an "Overly Strong Candidate", that's a bit...- myowncompany

Can I self-study physics from scratch before entering university in 2017?
Thank you for your feed back. I would like to go back to NZ but it isn't suitable right now as my whole immediate family live here now. I know I'm old enough to live by myself but I'd like to be with family as a family member has Liver Cancer and we'd like to spend as much time as possible. I...- myowncompany

Well without citizenship I will have to be an unrealistic amount of money, which would be about 6x my life's savings right now. When I get citizenship I can apply for a student loan. What do you mean "How do you plan on showing your ability to major in physics"? In the Country I am in, you...- myowncompany
