AI Thread Summary
Self-studying in math, physics, and chemistry can be effectively achieved through various methods. Video lectures and textbooks are essential resources; engaging with both allows for a comprehensive understanding of the subjects. Solving problems from textbooks reinforces learning. For additional resources, Khan Academy offers free online lessons across a range of topics, making it a valuable tool for students. Open Yale Courses also provides access to selected lectures from Yale professors, offering a different perspective on the material. These platforms are particularly beneficial for students looking to complete their studies independently before the school year resumes.

There are tons of ways of self studying on your own. Watch video lectures, or get your hands on some textbooks and read through it yourself. Solve the problems in the book, too. How old are you? What exactly do you like?

You could also try Open Yale Courses. They're pretty much just selected, free lectures from Yale profs available to anyone who has the desire to watch them. Khan is good, but OYC might allow you to watch something a bit different than Sal :smile:

Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...
After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
