I hear yall... it is my job as a parent to encourage him. I understand he is at a popular science level. But it is this curiosity that fuels his desire to study math 2 hours after school and why he is already at algebra 2 in middle school. Passion is a powerful motivator.
I agree but he is going to chew on something finding what he wants to learn about... i am cruising thru the quantum forum section noting the video links in particular. I am betting this becomes a reverse engineering problem where he has to work backwards from what he wants to understand.
But...
Thanks again rocket -- Found Quantum Mechanics: The Theoretical Minimum (text link and video lessons) over on the physics forum under the quantum section...looks perfect. It might be too advanced but i refuse to tell him it is too hard. If he has questions, this forum seems to be a great place...
Thanks Rocket -- this is why I am on here... He wants to learn and I want to offer resources. Any suggestions?
If it matters as I do not know the difference, is says he is more interested quantum mechanics specifically. I believe the academic team coach will be tutoring him in general physics.
Physics is not my field -- A place to start is seeking an internship with a professor in your department; then use that reference for your resume for work placement as an intern in your senior year.
Ok -- My son is in Middle School (Math Level Algebra 2) and currently is on the math team with an aptitude for science and is interested in Quantum Theory. He just picked up a copy of Illustrated Brief History of time and the Universe in a Nut Shell -- As a parent I am a little lost and I am...
