Suggestions to start studying Physics and Maths

Click For Summary
To begin studying physics and mathematics independently, foundational knowledge in mathematics is essential. Recommended topics include introductory algebra, trigonometry, college algebra, calculus (single and multi-variable), and an introduction to linear algebra and differential equations. For physics, starting with classical mechanics is advised, with textbooks like Resnick & Halliday and Kleppner & Kolenkow suggested for deeper understanding. Free online resources such as Khan Academy and MIT OpenCourseWare are valuable for self-study. Engaging with specific problems rather than broad topics can enhance understanding, and seeking help from online forums or study groups is encouraged. It's important to maintain a balanced approach to studying, taking breaks when needed to avoid burnout.
