AI Thread Summary
Canadian physics standards differ from U.S. standards, which can impact the preparation for the electrician apprentice program that requires knowledge in physics and math. The discussion highlights the need for resources covering topics like wave motion, geometric optics, kinematics, dynamics, energy, special relativity, static and dynamic friction, pendulum calculations, and the physics of rolling objects. There is a search for engaging online resources, particularly live audio discussions that cater to beginners, as traditional text-based learning can be less engaging. Recommendations include exploring courses by Ramamurti Shankar for a more interactive learning experience.

Canadian physics standards may be different then that of US Standards.

I am middle aged but wanted to try for the electrician apprentice program offered by the local technical collages. In order to be a apprentice, 11th grade physics and 11th grade math are pre requirements and I will be tested on them in june.

I am trying to find a site online that discusses area of Wave Motion and Geometric Optics; Kinematics; Dynamics; Energy; Special Relativity; , static and dynamic friction, pendium calculation of time, calculating time for a rolling object to reach bottom of a ramp and so on.

Also, are there live online audio discussions that talk about physics from a beginner standpoint?
Text learning is kind of boring but live sessions would be so much more interactive.

Thanks

The book is fascinating. If your education includes a typical math degree curriculum, with Lebesgue integration, functional analysis, etc, it teaches QFT with only a passing acquaintance of ordinary QM you would get at HS. However, I would read Lenny Susskind's book on QM first. Purchased a copy straight away, but it will not arrive until the end of December; however, Scribd has a PDF I am now studying. The first part introduces distribution theory (and other related concepts), which...
