SUMMARY

The discussion centers on strategies for first-year undergraduate students struggling with physics exercises, particularly in mechanics. A recommended resource is "Schaum's 3,000 Solved Problems in Physics" from the Schaum's Outline Series, which provides numerous solved problems to aid understanding. Participants emphasize the importance of building foundational skills in mechanics before progressing to other physics fields. The conversation highlights the need for accessible resources tailored to beginners in physics.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of high school-level mathematics
  • Familiarity with fundamental physics concepts
  • Ability to interpret and manipulate equations
  • Knowledge of mechanics principles
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore "Schaum's 3,000 Solved Problems in Physics" for practical problem-solving techniques
  • Research online platforms like Khan Academy for introductory physics courses
  • Investigate YouTube channels that focus on physics problem-solving
  • Practice with physics workbooks aimed at high school and early undergraduate levels
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for first-year undergraduate students, particularly those studying applied mathematics and physics, as well as anyone seeking to strengthen their problem-solving skills in mechanics.

Hello all.
I don't have much time.. I'm studying applied maths and I've got a mandatory course of physics. I find it the hardest of all courses. Despite the fact that physics exercises are based heavily on math, I hardly succeed in solving it.

What I seek to develop is, specifically, an ability to solve physics exercises, focused chiefly on equations, in the field of mechanics. After I build the skill in solving mechanics exercises, I'll probably be able to adapt to other fields. If you could recommend me any web-sites or books for a physics beginner, I'd appreciate it.

Well, I am a first year undergrad, but I don't possesses the required knowledge that one should. I thought maybe I should begin at late high school level, but I'm not sure. Just throw at me whatever you have.
