AI Thread Summary
A new member expressed a strong desire to learn physics, chemistry, and advanced mathematics, feeling that traditional school education isn't sufficient. They are currently studying electric fields and gas laws but seek more foundational knowledge. Suggestions for resources included "Physics for Scientists and Engineers" by Serway and Jewett, which covers a wide range of physics topics, and "Calculus" by Edwards and Penny for mathematics. Online resources were also recommended, such as HyperPhysics and Ben Crowell's free textbooks available at lightandmatter.com. The member raised concerns about accessing these books locally, indicating a preference for online availability. Additional resources were welcomed to aid in their learning journey.

hi i just registered.i would like to say that this seems to be a great forum.im seventeen and i live in greece.the truth is that i don't know many things about physics.but i want to learn chemistry,physics and advanced mathematics sooo much...i don't think that the school education will answer my questions.for example now we are learning about electric fields and gas laws.i want to learn more(although my friends mock me for that)but i don't know from where to start I've been searching the web for many things like general relativity to academic level chemistry but those things are way to complicated for me to understand.so i would like you to help me if possible.can you suggest me any good websites(for beginners like me) or some good ebooks because i don't know from where to start...
thank you very much,
jason

Physics news on Phys.org
What about buying a book on some of the subjects? For learning physics I would strongly recommend "Physics for Scientists and Engineers" by Serway and Jewett. This is a huge book that will get you started in many areas of physics including relativity, quantum mechanics, optics, electromagnetism etc. For the mathematics I would recommend "Calculus" by Edwards and Penny.

Both of these books should be on a level understandable to you.

An excellent choice.

For an online reference, I recommend: hyperphysics

Also, Ben Crowell has an excellent set of textbooks that he makes available online for free: http://www.lightandmatter.com/

Thread 'Should I pursue a masters degree after 4.5 years working in IT?'

I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...

Thread 'Hepth programs in Europe'

After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
