AI Thread Summary
Training for the International Physics Olympiad (IPhO) presents challenges, particularly in balancing school studies with the extensive IPhO curriculum. A participant is focusing on optics and waves, specifically topics like dispersion and interference, but is seeking additional study materials and brief lectures to aid their preparation. The discussion includes links to past problems and resources that may assist in studying for the competition. Participants express excitement about the event and share their backgrounds, with some mentioning their intent to attend and meet notable figures in physics.

I am training for IPHO, but it is difficult for me, to study for school and also for the large ipho curriculum. I could work it out until now, that I am studying optics and waves (dispersion, interferences), because now i don't have much material to study from. Can someone help me, give some brief lectures? Thanks in advance.

Thread 'Self Learning Math/Physics'

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
