I suggest you suplement the feynman lectures, with something else. As entertaining as they are, they aren't a very suitable introduction to physics(buy them anyway though).
I'm just stressed that i haven't graduated from high school yet(15 years old). I've mastered the curriculum, yet no one bothers to give me the exaqms to get out. Anyway I'm highjacking this thread.
I also eat very little.
A child prodigy would do calc before he's eleven, quantum theory and general relativity when he's 13.
He is however, rather precocious. Maybe I have very high standards when it comes to mathematical prodigies. Alot of youngsters do calc and such when they're fifteen.
Again you probably...
:rolleyes: No it really isn't. I'm "precocious" but look at where I've ended up:cry: . Better to have a strong work ethic, combined with somewhat high intelligence. Also precocity is not necessarily synonymous with high intellect, just look at me!
Oh and you seem fairly precocious to me anyway!
Calculus is a lovely tool used to solve certain fundamental problems. The mian ones are the area beneath an arbitrary curve, and the other is the slope of a tangent line. Let me give you an idea as to how to do this. Say you're driving in your car and you want to know how fast you're going...
Why is that i always see and hear people complaining about textbooks? It is true that there are many bad textbooks but why do they buy them? Can't they read reviews or ask around like i do?
Also there are many good textbooks and as a self learner I think my opinion counts for something. A...
hi physics forum. As many of you know, I've been studying general relatvity(its going quite well), but I'd like to delve into real rigorous mathematics. so essentially I'm looking for introductiosn to various topics, especially topology abstract algebra and differential geometry. Could someone...
