Hello everyone of PF. I am a 14 year old boy who just realized how fascinating and captivating physics, mathematics and science can be. I have decided, early as it may be, to study those 3 subjects and find a career involving them. I had been reserching for a website such as this one to help me with learning the basics of those subjects. When I found this forum, I was sure I had found what I was looking for. I would like to be taught the basics of physics, mathematics and science at this young age so that I may have more knowledge on the afformentioned subjects.

I hope you can help me. I'm sorry about the poorly constructed topic, but I am tired and it is time for me to go to bed. Thank you in advance.

Welcome to PF!

I hope you enjoy this forum, it can really help you in your studies.
 
First of all I want to say I admire your drive and determination. Take as many of the science courses that interest you at your high school as you can. Always try to make sure you do the best that you can in your school studies. Welcome to the physicsforums.

Hopefully some people here, more knowledgeable than me, could recommend to you some age-appropriate books to get you started.
 
Thank you lisab and 98whbf.

I'm sure this forum can help me in my studies and I certainly hope I can find those age appropriate books to get me started.: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...
