    Studying How hard is undergrad physics with no physics background?

    Thank you.Do you think that whilst doing the course, I could go to sites like Khan Academy and others to help me grasp what I’m learning?

    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...

    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...

    Self-Teaching Math-When to move onto another subject?

    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...

    Self-Teaching Math-When to move onto another subject?

    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...

    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...

    I'd like to completely teach myself Physics -- Am I Nuts?

    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...

    I'd like to completely teach myself Physics -- Am I Nuts?

    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...

    I'd like to completely teach myself Physics -- Am I Nuts?

    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...
