What is the Best Way to Approach Physics Problems as a First-Year CS Major?

In summary, the best way for first-year CS majors to approach physics problems is to first understand the underlying principles and concepts, rather than focusing on memorizing equations and formulas. It is important to break down the problem into smaller, manageable parts and to use logic and problem-solving skills to find a solution. Practice and active engagement with the material is key, and seeking help from professors and peers can also be beneficial. Additionally, using coding skills to model and simulate physics problems can aid in understanding and solving them.

My name is William Kang, and I am a first-year CS major at the Georgia Institute of Technology.
I created this account to seek help on physics problems I may have trouble answering. I value learning the material over getting the answer.
