Do you think I should use these books in conjuction? or use one of the two ( and if so, which one ?) thanksSolsticeFire said:
So don't expect to catch on to everything the first time through. But if you stick with physics, you'll keep coming back to them.The best book for self-teaching classical physics will depend on your individual learning style and goals. Some popular options include "Physics for Scientists and Engineers" by Serway and Jewett, "Fundamentals of Physics" by Halliday and Resnick, and "Classical Mechanics" by Taylor. It is important to choose a book that is comprehensive, well-written, and includes plenty of practice problems.
Yes, a strong foundation in mathematics is essential for understanding classical physics. You should have a good understanding of algebra, trigonometry, and calculus to fully grasp the concepts and equations involved in classical physics.
This will vary depending on your prior knowledge and the complexity of the material. It is recommended to set aside at least 2-3 hours per day for studying and practicing problems. Consistency is key to effectively self-teaching any subject.
There are many online resources available to supplement your self-teaching, such as video lectures, interactive simulations, and online communities for discussion and support. You can also seek out additional textbooks or reference books for further explanation or practice problems.
One way to ensure understanding is to regularly test yourself by solving practice problems and checking your answers. You can also seek out a study partner or join a study group to discuss and compare your understanding of the material. It is also important to regularly review and revisit previous concepts to solidify your understanding.
