Help a High School Senior with Physics and Mathematics

AI Thread Summary
A high school senior seeks assistance in finding reading materials for Physics and Mathematics, expressing difficulty due to limited access to technology. Participants suggest narrowing down the topics and recommend Richard Feynman's "QED" as essential reading for those interested in advanced Physics. The senior is unsure about their specific interests in the subjects and is looking for mentorship. They inquire about affordable options for obtaining the recommended books, highlighting financial constraints. The discussion emphasizes the importance of accessible resources and guidance for students pursuing these fields.

I am new here. I was hoping to get someone to help me. I am a senior in High School. I am hoping to get into Physics and Mathematics. I hace tried to find some good reading material for these subjects. I haven't had much luck due to the fact that I am in the middle of a technology black hole. If there is anyone out there that can help me I would love it.

Well 'Physics and Mathematics' is rather a broad topic! Perhaps you could narrow it down a little?

In the meantime, ANYONE interested in higher level Physics should read Richard Feynman's QED. It is required reading for pretty much any higher Physics course. A truly great book.
 
I am reading feynmans lectures on physics. It was a 2 year class he taught at caltech. I was hoping to find someone who is extremely good in one of these areas that would kinda take me under there wing. Cause where I come physics is what makes the bullet hit the duck. "ANYONE interested in higher level Physics should read Richard Feynman's QED." what is that. I don't really know exactly what I want to get into cause I really don't know all to much about the subject.

Then read QED, if you are into Physics, it will really get you going and inspire you. If it leaves you cold, you are a mathematician

Where do I go to get something like that. Is it something that I can download. Cause I can't really afford to buy these books. If I do have to buy this book where would I be able to get it. Thank you for your help.

I think it's easist first to watch a short vidio clip I find these videos very relaxing to watch .. I got to thinking is this being done in the most efficient way? The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...
