Physics And Math Study Websites

What are some websites where I can learn about physics or math?

Thanks for the A2A; I concur with Craig McClarren regarding Khan Academy.You might also want to check out the offering from the CK-12 Foundation: Free Online Textbooks, Flashcards, Practice, Real World Examples, Simulations.If neither of those appeal, your question has been asked before on Quora, so you can look up the other answers. Or just do a Google search for high school physics and mathematics.Best of luck!

On which website can I study fundamental physics?

Well i think you should read Feynman’s lectures.Follow Walter Lewin ‘s lecture videos on internet.Read the book- PRINCIPLE OF PHYSICS by Halliday ResnickThere are more conceptual physics books. You can go through those books also.

Is it possible to take Physics SL while taking math studies?

It is definitely possible but difficult at the same time to take Physics SL while studying maths. In fact, it can be a benefit to some extent because IB Physics SL on the high school or IB Diploma level requires the students to have a good grip on the mathematical tools (like basic Calculus, Trigonometry, etc). It’s a must to solve the mathematical/numerical problems encountered in Physics SL. Hence, the IB Physics Student must have a really good understanding of Maths SL & an average grip on the concepts of Maths HL. There are multiple e-learning sites on the internet that provide free Study Materials for Physics SL, Maths SL, & Maths HL, etc.You can skim through their content and see how things are inter-related between IB Physics & IB Maths. A very valuable e-Learning Website where IB Students can find free IB Study Materials is Testprepkart. They also provide online IB Tutoring or Coaching to students throughout the globe & they cover all of the concepts for all the main subjects ( Biology, Maths, Chemistry, Physics & English, of both SL & HL) very efficiently. Their work can be found on their own website.The plus point with TestprepKart’s tutoring services is that they have excellent IB Faculties and their IB Online Tutoring Classes are completely Live & Interactive, encouraging real-time interaction between the students and the IB Tutor. They have been very popular for IB Tutoring in the Gulf Countries & among NRI Students across the globe. If you feel more curious about their services, you can book & try out a free Demo Session with them.

I'm in 7th grade and want to study physics by myself?

Physics is mostly comprised of logic and intuitive thinking. You should start training yourself to start thinking logically whenever presented a question by breaking it down into an easier version of that question. Physics involves easy Algebra, if you can understand the concepts, the math comes automatically. Think of Algebra, as another language, and a way to represent a problem. Anyways, back to the question at hand, I suggest a book called "AP Physics 1 : Algebra Based" by Greg Jacobs. Do not feel intimated by it being an "AP" book, I started out taking AP physics as a sophomore in high school. Physics really is not that hard, all the renowned scientists already broke it down to easy principles. Just do not over think it, and you will understand it quickly. I suggest performing real life experiments to prove the laws of physics to yourself while studying physics; you may stubble across some topics involving many formulas, just remember formulas/equations is English translated to Algebra.

Good luck!

Where to start studying Astrophysics?

Keep in mind that almost all the jobs in the field require a PhD, and there aren't many jobs, so you need to be willing to move just about anywhere in the world to work.

Your local library probably has a few intro to astronomy books at the high school or lower college level. You can start learning physics; that would be the most useful thing to do. There's a free college physics textbook you can find online called OpenStax College Physics. And then you can always join a local astronomy club to learn more about the basics of observing.

How do I learn the mathematics for Astrophysics?

Hello Daisy,

First off let me say, I'm a college student majoring in Astrophysics so I know what is involved with the math of astronomy and physics. That being said, I think its great you're so interested in this subject, but I would also have to caution you. If you're going to take this seriously and put effort into it, you must really want to do it. I've found often that a lot of people like the subject but once they start really getting into it, they find it is difficult and they end up giving up. True it will be difficult, but I believe if you really have a passion for it, and you really put in the effort, you can go somewhere with it.

As for the math involved. You will need a firm understanding of algebra, trigonometry, and especially calculus. Knowing calculus well is crucial. I can not tell you how many times I've seen someone struggle in a class because they couldn't do the math involved. If you want free resources to learn the math yourself, try this site. It is online files that are free to look at and are essentially textbooks on freshman level calculus classes and they cover all they way up to multivariate calculus. I would suggest though that you take some classes if you can because it is very difficult to learn these things on your own. At the very least, have someone who knows what they're talking about who can explain things when you get stuck.

Those are three links from his site that have downloadable pdf's explaining anything you'd need to learn and know about calculus.

Another point to make is if you're going to learn astronomy, you'll also need a good understanding of general physics. Depending on the field of astronomy you go into you may need to learn Newtonian mechanics, Lagrangian mechanics, Electromagnetic theory, or Particle Physics.
