Courses Studying a nuclear engineering topic without a teacher?

AI Thread Summary
Studying neutron diffusion and nuclear theory from "Introduction to Nuclear Engineering" by Lamarsh can be challenging without a teacher, especially for beginners. A foundational understanding of algebra is crucial; those who are new to the subject may find it difficult to grasp the concepts independently. The complexity of the material suggests that having guidance could significantly enhance comprehension and facilitate learning.

Thread 'Self Learning Math/Physics'

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
