Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around finding free resources for learning physics, particularly theoretical physics, in the Philippines. Participants share various suggestions for accessing educational materials, including online resources and alternative options for obtaining books.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • The original poster (OP) expresses concern about the high cost of physics books in the Philippines and seeks free learning resources online.
  • One participant suggests that used books can be found relatively cheaply on Amazon, but another counters that shipping charges may negate any savings.
  • Another participant proposes that the OP might benefit from local libraries, despite the limitation of not being able to write in the margins.
  • Several links to online lecture notes and resources are shared, including a suggestion to check MIT's OpenCourseWare.
  • A later reply recommends applying for scholarships to universities in Singapore as a potential avenue for further education.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants present multiple viewpoints on how to access educational resources, with no consensus on the best approach. Suggestions range from online resources to local libraries and scholarship opportunities, reflecting a variety of strategies without agreement on a single solution.

Contextual Notes

Some suggestions depend on the availability of local libraries or the feasibility of international shipping, which may vary by location. The effectiveness of online resources may also depend on internet access and personal learning preferences.

Who May Find This Useful

Students and individuals in the Philippines seeking affordable or free resources for learning physics, particularly those interested in theoretical physics.

I am a physics graduate student in the philippines... I work to support my studies. In our countrym resources such as good books are too expensive. Is there a way where I can learn physics for free? (such as free links in the net with a proper pedagogical flow) Specially in the field of theoretical physics. Thanks!
 
Physics news on Phys.org
you can find good books relativly cheap on amazon.com (used not new).
 
Any advantage to amazon.com might be wiped out by shipping charges.

Perhaps the OP lives near a decent library. You can't scribble notes in the margins of the books, but you can at least keep your own notes.

You should apply for scholarship to attend Singapore Universities which are a 1st world and among the best in the world. Since its nearby and the medium in Singapore is english yous hud try

check this out that's MIT's open courseware.
 
Thank You So Much Guys!
