some advice to become a physicist
hey all
i am from england so some of the posts here don't really apply to me as things are quite a bit different over here in terms of education, i am currently at college which is equivalent to high school in america i believe. i plan on doing physics maths and chemistry. but in my own time i wish to learn most of these things as i am very interested in this field and so i can get top grades and get on the university course i want to, which is either high energy physics or quantum theory.
i would like to know where to start as my maths is currently at school level, i have ordered a calculus for dummies book but i feel this is not enough.
any information on theories and maths that would be useful to me would be a great help.
oh also i watched a program with brian cox last night and he said the exclusion principle applies to every electron not just to electrons in a single atom? meaning every electron in the universe has a different energy level, is this correct? as i was under the impression it was electrons in ONE atom had different energy levels
thanks
