By no means!.. Python 2 is the most common version for all uses from commercial software to scientific purposes and Python 3 is a future version and no one knows when it will be widely used, and most professional Python programmers use Python 2 these days. In addition, More versions of Python...

The problem of being late to get BS faces many people for many different reasons. So I think that one solution to this is to be there institutions that offer a comprehensive exam on the field of study and then give a BS degree in that field to those that pass that exam.

Why would you recommend it??

Although this is the most common textbook used in Algorithms course, but it's big problem is the use of pseudo code instead of a common mature language such as Java. The use of pseudo code is useful when there is no common language (like in 1980s) and thus making the book intended to broad...

The best book on C++ ever written!

This kind of books is time wasting more than helpful!

Thank you very much guys, your replies were so helpful and I see that (according to your advice) one should read a general intro textbook :approve:. Is Tipler's good and I should continue reading it or there are better texts? What is the best and most concise (concise but covers all the intro...

I took a look at their websites JUST TO KNOW THE COURSES THEY TEACH NOT TO ENROLL :cry: !

LOL! That's right.. I said that just to tell the readers of my question that I'm really interested in physics and I want to learn it seriously.. and certainly not aiming to be really professional just by reading in spare time! I'm sorry for using the word "professional", it was misleading.

I know that the topics that are covered in the introductory text such as Tipler's are more advanced than algebra based HS course, so, I certainly find it boring and unfamiliar. But I thought that the topics that covered in a general introductory text are again covered in more advanced...

Thanks a lot.. Your answers are very helpful ^_^.. My HS course was algebra-based :(. So according to your advice I have to go through an introductory physics calc-based text.

So do you mean that a person who has taken high school physics can go through CM text safely without reading a a general introductory text?

What college?! I'm self-learner, I've said above: I'm learning physics in my spare time.

Most classical mechanics texts (such as Taylor's or Kleppner's) don't require knowledge of physics that's further than high school physics before reading it.

Is an introductory physics course necessary?? I'm learning physics in my spare time, however, I hope to be professional in physics, so I took a look at many universities physics curricula and found that students must take an introductory general physics course at some universities, and at other...
