How can I effectively relearn physics and math through self-study?

[QUOTE="snatchingthepi, post: 4948508, member: 533622"] I would encourage you to take the single-variable and multi-variable calculus sequence that MIT offers. The OpenCourseWare website has multiple offerings of these courses to follow. They come with problem sets, assignments, solutions, and even tell you what sections to read out of the book. The video lectures are also very good, and there exist multiple forums for people to discuss the course and get help with solutions to problems. [url]http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mathematics/[/url] The two courses described will definitely increase the rigour of your basic calculus knowledge and force you to learn those "tricks of the trade" when solving problems. Afterwards, going through the offered courses on linear algebra and differential equations would be a great bet. For science now, since your interest is mainly mathematical, I would encourage you to study some physics beyond the level of kinematics (which I'm assuming was an introductory course). One of the best ways to learn vector calculus is to study electromagnetic theory in detail. I would refer to other parts of this forum for an introductory text on electricity and magnetism, and then encourage you to take-up Griffiths' book on the subject (there exist others, but I like Griffith's). I hesitate to suggest further than this, as what I've described between the courses of calculus, the two on linear algebra and differential equations, an introductory EM course, and study of Griffiths' text easily represent a couple years of work if you want to go through it all carefully and studiously.
