Classical Classical mechanics Mechanics Study

AI Thread Summary

To excel in calculus-based physics, particularly classical mechanics, a proactive study approach is essential. Preparing by taking notes on the chapter before lectures helps reinforce understanding. Following up with problem-solving, including both numerical and conceptual questions, is crucial for mastering the material. Consistency and diligence in this study method are key to achieving high test scores. Staying committed to this plan is likely to yield positive results in comprehension and performance.

I am taking calculus based physics I (classical mechanics) in a few days. I'm shooting for 100s on my tests so I need to be diligent.

What is the best way to study classical mechanics?

What I plan to do is take notes on the chapter before lecture, and after I will do all the problems (not forgetting conceptual..).

Thoughts?

Your plan should do the job. Stick with it.

Thread 'Self Learning Math/Physics'

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...

Thread 'Which branch of engineering is more physics heavy?'

I will be entering engineering but i want to do graduate studies in physics after it so im searching for the branch with most physics so it would be abit easier of a transition. Im trying to decide between nuclear engineering or electronics and engineering
