Schools How should i prepare for studying Engineering in University

AI Thread Summary
To prepare for the first semester in Mechatronics engineering, focus on reinforcing your knowledge in physics and calculus. Utilize online resources like Khan Academy and MIT's open courseware for self-study. It's advisable to check your university's course offerings to align your preparation with specific subjects such as calculus, linear algebra, mechanics, and electricity/magnetism. While purchasing textbooks can be beneficial, consider that you may need to buy different editions once classes begin, so prioritize online materials for initial study.

I'll have to start the 1st semester at the university in 2 months in Mechatronics engineering.
I used to study physics and calculus before in high school so I have some knowledge about their foundation but not really good at it yet. I wonder that in the last two months, how should i prepare for he class, what should I concentrate about physics, calculus(i mean study by myself).
And if you guys know some of the textbook that is good for self-study then please
tell me.

Thank you,sir !

Try to find out the courses you're going to be taking on your university's website. You can self-study on the internet (Khan Academy on youtube). You can always buy some textbooks early, but I wouldn't considering you might need to re-buy very similar ones when you start school. You're probably going to be taking calculus, linear algebra, mechanics, electricity/magnetism...All of which can be found in the open course-ware from MIT on youtube.
 
TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation. This article's date received is 2022-11-15...
