How did you find PF?
A on-line search seeking the best physics discussion forum provided this source. Google produced Quorum. Which, in turn, yielded the Physics Forum.
This physics forum is sought as a source of review material and alternative perspectives. While, a thorough reread of an old O' Hanian, a Serway, and an edition of Menzel is being made. Physics was a intended undergraduate major. However, a freshman advisor stated that basically all of the meaningful work had been long since done. And, he recommended only learning the classics well. After which, he stated that pursuing a career as a traditional engineer would be wise, fruitful, and rewarding. He also mentioned that acquiring formal training in computing and traveling along that path might be promising. The latter was chosen. And, as that advisor shared, "Computing was a very fertile field, during those years. One which was ripe for the cultivation and germination of 'fresh ideas and visions'".

Having such resources are very vital for someone who teaches technically-oriented courses in science and engineering, on occasion.

Welcome to PF, Immer. :smile:
 
Hello everyone, I'm Cosmo. I'm an 18 years old student majoring in physics. I found this forum cause I was searching on Google if it's common for physics student to feel like they're in the wrong major in the first semester cause it feels like too much for me to learn the materials even the ones that are considered as "basic math" or "basic physics", I've initial fascination with the universe's mysteries and it disconnect with the reality of intense, foundational mathematics courses required...
