That book seems to be very useful, thanks :D . Do you think that taking notes from the teacher's speech is the unique way to develop that skill? The examples you've given doesn't match with hearing someone and writting down what he says. I think that taking notes in laboratory or documenting my...

That's the question. When I ask that I'm talking about science books, most importantly, Mathematics and Physics. My aim is to avoid taking notes, I think it would be a waste of time if there are summarized books out there. For example, there could be summarized books written for refreshing...

For the fist year I used 'Sears & Zemansky's University Physics': https://www.amazon.com/dp/032173338X/?tag=pfamazon01-20 In my opinion, it is really a good book though it is very long. I learned a lot with it, and the mathematics that uses are quite basic. But Feynman's book seems to be more...

Many students read less books because of the notes they take, in favor of not having a real deep understanding of the material.

Sorry, I've used the words 'tutor' and 'lecturer' as if both were the same thing. With 'tutor' I meant to say 'lecturer'. You're right, it's not everything on it, though almost. What differences would you point out between video lectures and presential lectures? The main point is that the...

You can always seek on the internet and consult several books about the same topic to solve doubts. And with forums like this one, it's possible to be supported directly by people. Not going to classes not excludes the possibility to contact the course's tutor to ask for help with doubts. What...

Which one do you think that is more efficient? I think that lecturers, from the fact of being humans, commit more mistakes than books when they give information because they can forget to transmit important details. Books are written carefully in order to be easy to understand, what's said was...

Hi everyone, I'm Wazkey, an undergraduate student of second grade of Physics from Spain. I'm very interested in understanding nature from Physics and the art of building stuff for making our lives easier (engineering), and as I love programming I thought that Physics would let me become an...
