    A feeling that before you start these books, you have already gone through the hardships of understanding the fundamental concepts. These books only help you have your knowledge put in a systematic, rigorous, professional order. Just a feeling)

    Sure, some of the content is beyond the AP Physics C level but the more elementary sections should be useful, the problems are quite difficult but really fun to work on.

    @@sahirs100 The only ones that I'm aware of are Barrons and The Princeton Review. They cover the AP ciriculum, and to my knowledge, are are updated every year. I own The Princeton Review books for AP Physics C and AP Calculus BC and they are both great, they contain plenty of end-of-chapter review questions which consist of multiple choice and free-response, while also containing several practice tests that mimic the actual AP tests. Good luck!

    I'm going back to solve a lot of the problems at the moment and i've found a fair few of the problems aren't actually hard as such but they're just maddeningly open to interpretation and sometimes poorly posed where you dont know from the phrasing what assumptions you can or can't make. It explains to some extent why I had issues with its problems in the past. Other than that, the questions are good but generally doable.

    Greetings sir self taught physicist. I am a physics enthusiast from Paraguay, a country in south america. Once i have this dream of pursuing a physics career in my country, but like you, i have many problems with formal education. I struggle a lot with the lack of rigor that teachers seems to have with students in early stages of learning. I feel like they're always underestimating the capacities of young students to understand topics approached in the right manner. I use to have teachers who explained some misconceptions to "simplify" learning. When i tried to self study some topics i found that in the world there is plenty of information that somehow they deny the access. This lead me to study first a career that i later abandoned (this career has nothing to do with physics). Now, im taking the exams to become a chemical engineer, but i don't want to abandon my passion for physics. The question is. How far do you think we can go, people like us?

    I really want to have a good understanding of physics and since I want to pursue a career in engineering I will have to teach myself the real math and physics to gain the knowledge of an undergrad physics major (even if it takes a lifetime, I want to accomplish this). Do you think is it possible only with internet and books?

    Hi I'm 17 yo, and i really really really love physics and math. I would love to self study physics since I'm in a school where physics is not the main subjects so from this year I'm not gonna study it anymore. I self studied calculus 1 from a book called "calculus for the practical man" and I'm starting with calculus 2. Could you recommend me a book like this to start studying physics? I know something about mechanics but not too much, in school i did the basic things of mechanics and stopped right before work and energy. Thank you in advance 🙏🏻🙏🏻

    These are the following courses you would need to learn, I have left links for the free courses on MIT OCW. They have everything you need to learn the subjects. With this type of mathematics background, you could also jump into learning higher-level topics in physics such as quantum mechanics, electrodynamics, and statistical mechanics. Single-variable calculus: ocw.mit.edu/courses/18-01sc-single-variable-calculus-fall-2010/ Multivariable calculus: ocw.mit.edu/courses/18-02sc-multivariable-calculus-fall-2010/ Ordinary differential equations: ocw.mit.edu/courses/18-03sc-differential-equations-fall-2011/ Linear algebra: ocw.mit.edu/courses/18-06sc-linear-algebra-fall-2011/ Good luck with your learning!

  • @Self-TaughtPhysicist
    @Self-TaughtPhysicist Жыл бұрын

    This book is much more pedagogical and self contained compared to Kleppner and Kolenkow. Also this book has coverage of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanics at the undergraduate level whereas Kleppner and Kolenkow doesn’t. The topics discussed often are more detailed and provide more information. Kleppner and Kolenkow is good if your taking a challenging introduction course and have had exposure to physics before. For a second course Taylor is often used.
