Hi Folks
May be a'm buggingu ppl with these time taking questions .. But i am not in state to go ahead with my interests


I am interested in understanding different aspects of physics and mathematics related to same .

Can anyone of u guide me as where to start ?. This is the biggest quesion in front of me . :smile:

I wud like to develop sound knowledge in Maths + Physics .

Looking eagerly for ur help.

Thanks in advance

Are you in school? Will you be going to school, or do you plan to learn on your own?

:confused:


well, assuming you are in college or are going to be entering college, a safe bet would be taking the calculus/diff eq sequence and the introductory physics sequence, and also the modern physics course (if available).


and...of course, if you REALLY like that stuff, you can major in physics...

I need to answer following questions for you .
1: I completed my graduate studies as computer science student . I have learned physics or maths as one required subject .

But my interest in these two subjects has increased a lot . So i need guidance as how to proceed . May be this is very basic at this point of time . Still i have to go wuth my interest in understanding Maths and Physics.

Man these info would be more clearer .
Eagery waiting for ur reply.

Assuming that you are attending college, that information is readily available in your institutions calendar. Consult that first as it will give you a greater insight on what to take than what you are suggested to take on PF. However, I am surprised you were not required to take any math courses as a computer science major.

If you are not attending college, then specify if your self-learning.
