So You Want To Be a Physics Major?

Ғылым және технология

I wanted to make a video showing what classes you must take in order to get a Bachelors Degree in Physics. I also give a brief description of those classes.

    remember one thing. math is used to supplement physics, not supplant it. no excuse is allowable for any teacher to throw a bunch of equations, formulas, proofs, etc., without a proper explanation of the underlying concepts that buttress the math. if you need to, meet with your classmates, and if they don't want to, then do it your self, understand fully well all physics concepts. and go no further in your study until you know what the term 'all physics happens at the margin' means. i had profs say this time and again without ever attempting to explain what that meant. it was only when i heard it for the 100th time that i stopped a class and said that it was time for them to either explain what it meant, or admit they didn't know what the hell they were talking about.....

When ever you have to find a physically acceptable solution you will often solve for the boundary conditions? My lecturers have never said anything like that but then again I do not live in an English speaking country

    I went into physics because I liked math and how it all fit together. Also out of curiosity about everyday silly little things, such as wondering at age 6 why my thumb and index finger appeared to merge together when I brought them close enough, in front of a bright background. I must have been a puzzle to my parents. I teach intro physics and I try to make it as easy as possible, not as hard as possible. And I think that reflects what most physics professors strive for. The reason intro physics is so hard for students is that there is indeed a lot of material, but mainly because it is often their first introduction to a whole new way of looking at the world. It's like learning a new language and also an entirely new culture. All in the span of 2 semesters. We make it as easy as possible, but the rest is in the end of the motivated student. It is normal to have to spend a lot of time practicing before it starts making sense. Once one gets over that hurdle, many of the classes that follow get easier, even though they cover more advanced material. But yes, we want our engineers to have a solid understanding of physics, because we don't want them to build bridges that crumble. And a solid of understanding of physics can only come with a lot of hard work.

    Econophysics dear, Econophysics. Look up that subject. Seeing the following equation helped me realize that Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation was truly universal as in it applies to studies not normally associated with Physics. This is a formula that I read in a graduate level Economics course book at 3AM in a dorm. It was introduced to me by a Economics Graduate Student .Knowing that I was studying Physics he asked me, 'Does this equation look familiar to you?" Fₘ = k(Wₚ - Wₒ)(MₒMₚ)/[(Sₚ - Sₒ)]² where Fₘ is the force of migration, k is an arbitrary constant, Wₒ is the prevailing wage in City Sₒ. Wₚ is the prevailing wage in City Sₚ, Mₒ is the population of City Sₒ, Mₚ is the population of City Sₚ, and. the quantity (Sₚ - Sₒ) is the distance between the cities Sₒ and Sₚ The equation describes the fact that the migratory force between two cities is directly proportional to the product of the difference of the prevailing wages in the two cities and the product of the population of the two cities, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance that separates the two cities. It was an epiphany. It is basically no different than F₉ = G m₁m₂/{(r₂ - r₁)]² which is Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation. Enjoy your exploration.

It was definitely an interesting way to learn it, and it definitely made calculus more of an investment when I saw a proof and thought, ‘Oooooh, that’s the professor meant when she said this thing three weeks ago.’

    To me, as a physics major in my senior year, I feel like intro physics is difficult because the formulas are motivated and derived by a deep understanding of not just the world but also mathematics like multivariable calculus. The students are expected to use these formulas as though they have a fundamental understanding of them in order to solve problems, but they can never have a fundamental understanding because it is their first year. That's how I look at it anyway.

    Ty man. I finished high school a couple months ago and am 3 months away from starting my freshmen year in physics. Although I live and will study in Croatia i don't think it is too different from what you talked about so all this is info is pretty helpful. Also I am kind of scared because I don't know if I will have the chops for all of it since it seems pretty difficult on first glance, but I think all I can do at this point is just try and find out.

    I wish you could have taken my introductory physics course. You'd get to see it doesn't have to be as hard as professors make it and still get everything you need out of it. I was one of those first type students, more interested in the Newtonian stuff than the fancy black hole, special relativity stuff.

    It's really interesting seeing when things are studied in the American system compared to the UK where I currently study. In the UK we only do straight subjects so I only take physics and relavent maths modules and don't have to do anything from other courses. Most of the things which you mention in the second year is covered in our first year, and the course is overall shorter compared to going to university in the US.

After it they made us jump directly into electromagnetic and quantum mechanics.... Now I understand why I'm still fighting to understand what the hell is this lol!.... There is a lot of things and basics missing.

    You're going to be fine, dude. Even though I'm a high school senior and my words have less merit than suppose an actual college student, I've heard numerous anecdotes about the materials looking intimidating at first glance, yet it wasn't as bad as they initially thought. Me, browsing Andrew's videos, I feel especially scared because I don't understand more than half of the things he's saying. But when I was about 8, and when I first saw the integral symbol, or dy/dx, or polars from my older brother's homework assignments, I didn't know a single thing. Of course, settling in Calculus BC (Calc. 2), I'm finally learning the things I initially thought I was never going to understand. All it takes is starting from the ground up and going from there, rather than leaping on numerous topics.

    No matter what people say to feel superior, high level chemistry requires a lot of math too, not as much as physic but a lot none the less. I have a friend who is currently doing his Dr in physical chemistry and he took all the math courses you take as a physicist (in bachelor an master) in addition to all the other stuff because the mandatory math courses for chemistry are just not nearly enough.

    Engineering is just natural sciences applied to method, in my opinion. Engineers, mathematicians, physicists, they study and work similar topics but slightly different applications, so you can get your bachelor's degree in engineering and then move to fields of research in physics later I want to get into mechatronics and study robotics and AI. I already have background in programming and basic computer science, so when I get into university I plan to either get into electrical engineering, mechanical engineering or computer science itself
