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))
 
Mathematics news on Phys.org


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 '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...

Thread 'Fermat's Last Theorem'

Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...

Thread 'Useless continued fraction for 1'

I'm interested to know whether the equation $$1 = 2 - \frac{1}{2 - \frac{1}{2 - \cdots}}$$ is true or not. It can be shown easily that if the continued fraction converges, it cannot converge to anything else than 1. It seems that if the continued fraction converges, the convergence is very slow. The apparent slowness of the convergence makes it difficult to estimate the presence of true convergence numerically. At the moment I don't know whether this converges or not.
