You did Halliday in high school? I'm assuming that's unusual? (An advanced course I suppose?)
So of those who've done Halliday, what do you think would be a good pace to learn
it at then? And would it be a good idea to learn calculus thoroughly first? (I'm upgrading
my calculus skills...
I'd heard that people were doing a lot of chapters in only three months, and couldn't
see how they could learn the material thoroughly in that timeframe without being physics
geniuses. As both you and Bill have pointed out, apparently people AREN'T learning the
material thoroughly in that...
Thanks Bill! That sounds rather rushed, but then I can do it at my own
pace. Do many of the students struggle getting that much work done
in that timeframe?
I've been teaching myself physics from Halliday/Resnick for a while now, and
was wondering how long on average students spend on each chapter when being
taught at an institution? And with between 100-140 questions at the end of each
chapter, many of which can take 20-30 minutes to complete...
