To be honest, this year I have enjoyed my maths courses even more than my physics courses (but the actual concepts in physics fascinate me more). I'm not particularly interested in computer science, but I think it would be enormously useful to me regardless. Maths, however, is the opposite: I am...

Thank you for the response, Arsenic&Lace. May I ask if you completed a degree with mathematics and did a CS program after or if you are switching your undergrad to CS? I've thought about it a bit and since I took CS, did reasonably well but hated it (though I have learned some CS by myself...

Well that's depressing. Not even anything in finance? Thanks for the response.

Hello Physics Forums. So I haven't been on here for a very long time, so hello again. I am currently a first year at a university in Canada and am to declare my specialization in the coming months. I came into university expecting I'd want to do a degree in physics and astronomy, but over the...

Hey, samnorris. Thanks for the reply. Sorry, it looks like I missed out an important part to the point that I might have seemed pretentious. My school switched from AP to IB the year I entered grade 11, and not only was I sceptical of the new system, but from what I read (and this I maintain)...

Hello, forum. So, I'm going to be starting my first year at the University of British Columbia next year and, although I might be seriously ahead of myself, I am very much stressing over what degree and courses I am going to be taking for the next four years. Being at the education level at...

So, I managed to reap two calculus textbooks (Stewart) off my older brother which he doesn't need any more (it was last year's), as well as purchasing Six Easy Pieces (already almost half-way done), which I figure I'd read as a novel to keep me inspired while studying calculus. I assume this is...

I would like to make it clear that I wish to study actual physics, not just dabble in conceptual physics (i.e. no math, just concepts), but actually solve problems and increase my general knowledge in that field. I understand that I'll need to learn more complex mathematics and find a textbook...

I should clarify that I don't have any book by or even about Feynman (that I know of, at least). I just heard it was an excellent starting point. I suppose the sites I found that information on meant that more so for university students dabbling in physics. What are some better starting points...

Hello, every one. I'm more of a lurker than a poster here on these forums, but I have my moments. Here's one. :3 Basically, all I search for is physics books not necessarily targeted at high school students, but shouldn't be overly complicated for one to understand: more specifically, for me...

Hello! Firstly, I'd like to say this is my first post, as I could not find a "new members" sub forum or anything of the sort. I'm a high school student (technically junior, but one year off) with a keen interest in the sciences, particularly in the fields of cosmology, particle physics, and...
