AI Thread Summary
For mastering high school math and physics, comprehensive understanding is essential, especially for SAT and subject tests preparation. Recommended physics texts include Serway, Young and Freedman, Giancoli, and Halliday and Resnick, which provide a solid foundation. For math, it's important to seek out resources that cover all aspects, including calculus, and offer numerous practice exercises to enhance problem-solving skills. Review books are helpful for test-specific strategies but may not provide the depth needed for a full understanding of the subjects. Focusing on foundational texts and practice materials will aid in achieving a clearer grasp of high school math and physics concepts.

Suggest learning matierial please!

Hi everyone. I am preparing for SAT, MATH2, Physics subject tests on my own. I have got barron's preporation guides that i like and i could probably use them if i knew all the fundamentals of math and physics. Since i am not a Us citizen i have no idea what curriculum u guys follow. Can you suggest what books or coursebooks (name, author etc) you are using in high school? i do know a descent amount of math and physics but do not get a clear picture sometimes so if you could help me please do so))

Honestly the review books teach right to the test and should give you an idea of what to study. Serway, Young and Freedman, Giancoli, and Halliday and Resnick are oft-recommended "survey" texts for physics.
 


Yeah i know that. The problem is these prep books allow you to learn to apply your math/physics knowledge to a specific test (SAT). I don't have any problems preparing for the test, my problem is that i do not have full understanding of the subject. I need material that would cover all aspects of high school math(with calculus), physics and a duzzen of excersises to practice my problem solving techniques.
Thanks for advise fss! what about math?
 

Thread 'Non-orthogonal bases'

Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...

Thread 'What Exactly is Dirac’s Delta Function? - Insight'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
