What are some good high school level quantum mechanics and atom-related books?
I assume you are looking for books that are somewhat more sophisticated than a popular science book.Try The Quantum World, by Ken Ford, former director of the American Institute of Physics.Also Quantum Mechanics and Experience buy David Albert might be interesting. Albert is a philosopher who works in physics departments so he has the technical skills of a physicist and the precise verbal ability of a philosopher.You might take a look at Quantum Paradoxes, Yakir Aharonov. He is one of the major figures of quantum theory in the last half of the 20th century. He was also one of my profs in graduate school. The thing I noticed about him was a knack for creating a very simple thought experiment that illuminated a very deep concept.
What's a good book to learn all high school math fast?
First of all, define what highschool math is. In general, US elementary education is failing in teaching the kids necessary mathematical skills (my opinion, you may disagree). As a result, depending on a school district, mathematical concepts covered in highschool could differ dramatically. My understanding is that ideally as a freshmen one would take Geometry, then Akgebra 2 with Trig, Precalculus (those students who are not ready to take Calculus), and then Calculus 1 and Calculus 2. The material that should be covered in highschool math is so diverse, that there is no one textbook that will cover it. While I can't recommend one single book, I can highly recommend one single curriculum developed by http://www.artofproblemsolving.c...This site also has a collection of on-line problems called Alcumus (which is free). Alcumus by itself is an excellent diagnostic as well as a learning tool. I would just like to point out that I am not an educator, or in anyway is affiliated with AOPS.com. I am a mother of a middle school aged kid who needed additional resources to help him explore the world of math.
Whats the best book to learn calculus and mechanics ?
Im in engineering school and i think my calculus is a little weak so i have to revise it very well because every thing is based on calculus obviously . im not too weak and im not good either so i want a book that's intermediate to advanced level
What are best sites/books to learn physics for high school?
"Best" will depend on your learning style, but here are a few additional sites:Bozeman Science: Physics and at the AP Level: AP PhysicsThe Physics Classroom: The Physics ClassroomGeorgia Virtual Learning: Shared PhysicsCrash Course is just starting a Physics series on YouTube (Physics - YouTube). They are only up to the 4th episode, but one is added each week. I'm a big Crash Course fan in general, for material preview or review.
What do we (high school students) learn in physics?
Unless it's AP, that can vary by the school and the course. In my Honors Physics class, this was what order I learned it: 1. Light 2. Kinematics 3. Forces 4. Work and Energy 5. Simple Harmonic Motion 6. Sound The class isn't particularly hard, but there is a math emphasis, so be prepared for that. The difference between regular and AP Physics is that Regular and Honors are high school level courses (Honors is at a faster pace though) and AP Physics is viewed as a college-level physics course (there is an AP exam you take at the end of it for college credit).
How to learn about robotics, mechanics, and engineering?
Does anyone know a good website, book or any other source of info that teaches people how to build simple robotic machines like a remote controlled car to more intermediate stuff like computer? And also to much more advanced machinery? So basically my question is do any of you know a reliable source where I could learn robotics for beginners then more advanced machines? I'm not old enough to go to college and take robotics classes or engineering classes so don't say that. I am planning to join my high school engineering-robotics club though.
How can a high school student learn physics and quantum mechanics?
Quantum Mechanism made easy( even for a schoolboy)-Quantum Mechanism made easy( even for a schoolboy)It is 2017 and time is ticking like Formula-1 car. Physics has made a very long, tough, lost journey to its principles and theories on how this universe actually works the smallest of the atoms to the largest of the black holes. From scientific revolutionary Newton to The Person of the 20th Century Albert Einstein who "serves as a symbol of all the scientist such as Fermi, Heisenberg, Bohr, Richard Feynman, who built upon his works. At first, you might think that this blog wander away from topic of Quantum Physics, but these are basics, the start of the story.) So Welcome all the curious, to know how the Universe works, to a world of Quantum Mechanics.If you want a thorough physics book, Get one of these-Buy on amazon- The theory of Everything.Introducing Quantum TheoryThere is a remarkable book that succeeds in having only one point at which people will be misled. It’s not long. It has lots of pictures. But don’t make the mistake of thiking that it is not a serious work. It really has everything in it that you need to get started. It will often help you reorient yourself if you read something less carefully written (probably to show how brilliant the writer is) and start getting confused.Introducing Quantum Theory by J.P. McEvoy and Oscar Zarate
I'm a high school student interested in quantum mechanics. How can I learn more about it?
First off, if you're interested in learning real quantum mechanics, stay away from the 'quantum mysticism' bull crap people seem so fond of puking out (like the 'dancing wu li masters' that was unfortunately posted as an answer before I saw the questions). Its not quantum mechanics and the people publishing that BS are either conmen or dupes. (Rant over).Quantum mechanics requires math. A lot of math. There is no way around this if you want to have a modicum of understanding* about the subject. A solid grasp of algebra and trigonometry is necessary to understand even the most basic results like the photoelectric effect and the double slit experiment, and you need linear algebra, multivariate calculus and differential equations to get into the really interesting stuff, and it really helps to have a solid background in classical physics (mechanics and electromagnetism).If you're interested in quantum mechanics, I suggest you work hard at math and start taking physics courses (and stay away from the quantum mysticism BS).*I'm sure that by mentioning the word 'understanding' around the subject of quantum mechanics that people are going to mindlessly quote Feynman's "Nobody understands quantum mechanics" at me. Please don't. We clearly understand the theory enough to make predictions and improvements of the theory.
How to become a car mechanic?
i've been in automotive school for 3 years, i learned alot hands-on,, but also in classroom reading books, and the best one so far i've read is named "automotive technology, a systems approach 4th edition" by jack erjavec... it's the best out there, u can get it for no more than 100 bucks, i know it sounds like alot, but trust me it's worth every penny,, it teaches u from basics to normal shop talk... u can learn alot from it... good luck
How would one teach themselves Advanced Math/Physics? Quantum Mechanics?
I have a rather different idea. Science and math professors are usually teaching because they enjoy teaching. This is not always the case. Some want to be able to do research, and the teaching is an unwelcome requirement. But many do enjoy teaching. If you could muster the courage to write to the dean of physics, tell them your sincere interest, and ask if there was any chance that there might be a physics professor willing to advise you, you might get a very positive reception, and help that would be customized to your own abilities and background. Students that are sincere and not just looking for grades are a pleasure for real teachers. If you do this, and you get a positive response, it might be best if you try not to 'spread the word'. There would probably be too many less-sincere folks out to get something free, and it would kill the possibility for others. Good luck
