Hi all,
I am a Computer Science graduate [or will be in 2012] and am planning to do my post graduate studies in Computer Science itself, because programming has always been my passion. At the same time, I joined physics forums during my high school years where I participated in topics related mostly to my coursework. But of all the subjects in my coursework, physics has just sort of grabbed me and I have been avidly reading physx.org, numerous articles on wikipedia, sa, ns etc. to learn more about physics and the interest lives on, even after 4 years.
All my reading which I did online has not been very organised, so it is a big question as to how much I have really learnt. So, to keep the interest alive and to really learn something properly and also to place myself in a position where I could practically consider further studies in physics, I wish to dedicate one year actually 'studying' physics.
So, here is my question to all: Given my situation, what is the best advice you can give me? I am on a shoestring budget now itself, so buying a lot of textbooks or signing up for a lot of courses is going to be very difficult [read:not impossible, though]. What, in your opinion, would be the best use of 1 year I can make to educate myself in physics?
PS: I don't know if this forum was the right place to put it, so in case it is not, mods kindly move the post to where it belongs.
Regards,
rohan
