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?
@Self-TaughtPhysicist9 ай бұрын
This is absolutely possible, the internet is such a great resource when learning. I managed to find recommendations for every book that I currently own.
