What's the best physics branch to start with

[Peter25samaha]

I want to study all physics branches but i want to start with a branch that could help me with all other branches and in the same time the easiest . These are the branches:
-optical physics
-electromagnetism
-condensed matter physics
-high energy physics
-nuclear physics
-thermodynamics
-Astrophysics
-Relativity
-Classical mechanics
-Partical Physics
-Quantum Mechanics
-Theorical Physics

Without question, Mechanics. I believe most intro physics first courses start in that area anyway (vectors, motion equations, statics, dynamics, energy and work concepts, etc. ). The other branches you mentioned are much more advanced.

Yeh i thinked luke that but which one do you mean classical mecanics ? Or quantum mechanics ?

 

[PhanthomJay]

Oh gosh classical mechanics! Quantum mechanics is extremely difficult. You'd be lost before finishing page 1.

I studied physics in french language but i want to get my degree in usa so i like to get grade 9-10-11-12 physics and math curriculum in usa . Any books that can i buy for each grade ?? Name of books please

 

[PhanthomJay]

For physics, I think Halliday and Resnick , "Fundamentals of Physics" is good, it covers many of the topics you listed including classical mechanics, electricity and magnetism, waves, optics, relativity. In US, high school Physics are often grade 11 and 12 courses.

This was incorrectly started in "Member introductions ONLY - NO QUESTIONS", so I have moved it.
