Hey so I'm trying to self study for both AP Physics exams for May 2012, and I've been going through halliday & resnick 7th ed. as a text, however, I feel that this book isn't helping me so much for the mechanics side of things (as I haven't begun to study E&M stuff yet) for two reasons. First...

I'd like to first say that I'm not really sure which forum this is supposed to belong in. This one seems to fit best, but my question may be better in one of the math/physics forums... I'm planning on going through the resources Chris Hecker recommends in his article Physics References...

Hi, I am currently in high school (Year 9) in Australia. I would like to self study high school physics so I can prepare for my HSC earlier. I finished all the year 9 maths and I'm currently up to quadratic formula. I have yet to do curves and logarithms. Can you please recommend me any...

Hello, Next year will be my third year in college, and I was just wondering if taking Quantum Mechanics is REQUIRED to get into graduate school. The reason I'm asking is because QM 1 and 2 are only offered every other year and under my current situation I will be in undergraduate school for 5...

my question may be silly . I want to know why we study orcad or any other simuator software, i mean how powerful are these tools? I cannot build circuits for my hobby due to cost factor, so is it equivalent to do that on orcad?

I am a student @ UK COE in Lexington. My original plan was to complete my sophomore year @ UK and then transfer to UT Knoxville to do NucE. I live about 60 miles south of Lexington and have come to realize I cannot afford the gas in the fall to go to UK. I have been forced to register at a...

I'm heading back to school and I never finished the second semester of physics w/ calculus, which was a few years ago. Let's just say I'm taking a lighter course load to make sure I have time to study. Any suggested books with possible sample problems anyone can recommend? I've seen a lot of...

I'm working half time in a neurolab, the other in a physics lab. Meanwhile I have a thesis to work on, and two offers to participate in papers (psych and neuro). So I took my family out camping this weekend instead :)

I think I lack motivation. I go to a sort of "magnet high school where there are many geniuses and extremely hard working people. Compared to them, I constantly feel I am not working hard enough. I slack off, never study until day before exam and finish assignments late. I am probably the...

When did statistical studies become important for the study of physics? Could someone cite something for me to read which would put this question in a historical context? I’m doing research on Arpad Elo (1903-1992). He did a master’s degree in physics (I assume before 1926), and then...

So this fall is going to be my first full semester as an EE major. Here's my classes: Introduction to Circuits and Electronics This course introduces linear circuit analysis and design including extensive use of op amps. Presents DC networks, including node and mesh analysis with...

I am going to study physics in university. I am on a science course in a collage in europe. But I have always loved technology and machines and inventing. So are there any people that go study physics and than go into engineering after that? Or would it take too long. If I had to choose I would...

I am now back from the winter semester to my home and I like to spend the summer studying. Unfortunately I cannot focus because the environment is too difficult to. My apartment is extremely crammed and small. In addition I live with two other people (my mother and brother) and they are...

Homework Statement Why are magnetic forces not always conservative? I came across this question and to my knowledge they are always conservative...can anyone explain why they wouldn't be?

I'm an engineer student, and I think I need a refresher on everything from algebra to calculus. Would definitely appreciate it if some of you can provide recommendations for some math self study software.

I have the choice of taking, next spring, a course on linear algebra (theoretical, covers linear operator theory) or a course on applied math (covers asymptotic analysis and pdes). I cannot take both because i would be taking too many classes at once, and the classes i am already planning on...

Hi all , I'm now 20 Years old in 4 th year medical school and medical education is free of charge in my country. I applied for a medical school not becoz I love it and want to be a doctor but Becoz when I was a high school students my parents told me its the only way to get employed and earn...

Hello, I'm studying Physics at the university, and I realized that the 1st semester of the 2nd year is the last semester that has a mathematics discipline (it's differential and integral calculus III). I had linear algebra & analytic geometry and differential and integral calculus I on the 1st...

Can I study astrophysics if I have only studied Physics not Biology or Chemistry in my O levels? If yes then what job opportunities are there for it? And what other major can I do with it?

Do you have any stories of people successfully self-studying a relatively advanced subjected in which they've had absolutely no coursework? Personally, I've taken some honors level courses in high school and then done some extra studying to get on a good enough level to take the AP test. I've...

I have a hard time with math and physics. Part of the problem is its hard for me to decipher equations and theorems with so many symbols. My best subject is English, reading and writing comes very naturally for me, but I also find it very boring and tedious. Do you guys have any suggestions on...

A ball of the pinball of mass 0.1kg assimilated to a point M is launched by a spring and move up without friction in a track straight 60m (the sprin is in the track) then move curvely to an arc of a half circle with radius 20m at the topof the track. The plan contain the track and the arc is...

Here are some: Skip class if the teacher is not very good at lecturing and stay at home using that time to teach yourself the lesson to understand the material, or come to class but do homework (for that class, or for other classes during the non effective lecture.) (But only do that if the...

(For engineering / math classes) at some of the 4 year colleges, (in California or anywhere really,) what is the semester usually like as far as review days before tests, study guides for exams and tests, and quizzes? Do the teachers provide any of the above? And also, do you usually have...

what are some methods used by talented students in technical courses that get good grades? I always hear its as simple as reading the textbook and then doing problems. However, i find if you don't understand the theory well enough practicing will be very difficult. Is there a way to study more...

While this is not technically an assignment for any particular class (that I'm aware of, at least), I think the nature of this problem makes it suitable for this forum. Please, inform me if I should direct my question elsewhere. Find x>3 such that ln(x)<x^0.1 (hint: The number is "huge")...

im a sophomore at a junior college, and my calculus III prof. keeps ranting and raving about how we need to have better study skills, since at a 4 yr. university, in upper division math, science, engineering courses they go at a faster pace and cover more difficult subject matter. unfortunately...

I'm sure there are many like myself who are self studiers: read the book, do the problems. Right now I'm working through Halliday, Resnick and Walker, Fundamentals of Physics, and doing all the odd problems because the answers are in the back of the book. I'm also watching the MIT OCW lectures...

Okay, so I have a fair amount of knowledge in mathematics, through calculus, and I want to study physics independently. I was told that I should start with classical mechanics. Is that right, and if so, where should I go from there. What are good books to learn from. I apologize if this is a...

Many colleges require that all students learn a foreign language, but I have no idea which one I would want to study. Right now I don't know which area of physics I want to go into, or where I want to live. I suppose that if I stay in the U.S. it doesn't really matter which foreign language I...

Hi, I new to the forum and I am trying to pass my next exam which is on these five topics Center of Mass ,Rotation and Moment of Inertia ,Torque Newton's Law and energy in angular form, Rolling and Angular Momentum. For Physics test I am only good at defining terms but when it comes doing the...
