Hi all,
I've just registered here and am hoping some of you can help me out a bit. I am thinking of going back to school (OU) to gain either a degree in mathematics or physics. This is simply out of interest and not out of a desire to pursue a career in either of these fields. I already hold an MSc in Psychology and a BSc Psychology / Linguistics. My understanding of maths and physics is, as you might infer, quite limited.
What I'm looking for are essential places to start - books, sites etc. Real 101 stuff. I simply want to better understand the world I live in so I think that learning one or both of the above topics is a prerequisite to expanding my knowledge. I know that I could "just google it" but I'd appreciate the input of a learned community rather than just clicking on the first things out of a search engine.
I'd be very grateful if anyone could point my nose in a useful direction. Thanks!
(Damn, I just noticed I posted this in Skepticism and Debunking instead of the General Discussion forum. Apologies, and if the Mods could move it..?)
