Some people are unmotivated when taking a math class because they may not understand or realize what they will ever use the math for, but pairing the math with physics or engineering can be great for showing the broad applications of math.
The answer I found to the old "when will I ever use this math" is that the purpose of studying math isn't to use it in your everyday life, but rather to develop problem-solving skills, pattern recognition, logical thinking, among other skills I'm sure I missed.
This is always what irritated me most in my math courses. We'd learn all these abstract concepts but never their manifestations in reality. This is a massive issue for me given my personal learning style requires a degree of physical conceptualization to appropriately grasp subjects, which led me to excelling in some difficult courses such as advanced chemistry or biology, though never quite math
I'm a math and physics double major and I remember using Knight's book for intro physics and giancoli during hs. Knight has a very peculiar sense of humor, being that almost every chapter someone is dying in one of the problems lol. Would love to see a math methods book covered one day like Riley, Arkfen, or Hassani if it hasn't already
What would be some advice for math and physics dual major beginner, you would like to give? I am currently cs and ee major with extra class in maths. For higher studies
oh wow I aspire to do a double major in math and physics as well. Any tips, experiences and suggestions you'd like to share for someone who wants to follow a path you've been through?
May I ask your grad school plans? I nailed the math but struggled with advanced physics after the ridiculously easy physics 2.... Like I hit a wall. (Marine Engineering)
@@yuvrajsingh099 I would say that the biggest thing for me is to take a step back sometimes and realize how far you've come in your education. Struggling on a concept can feel like you're not good enough or don't fit in, and I personally experience that quite often. I find looking at how much you've learned to get to this point helps realize that struggling happens and that is how you improve. Math and Physics are both difficult subjects with different ways of approaching problems, but it is more than rewarding to learn. Also do you plan/have taken a class on math proofs yet? I have a friend that took a math based proof course for cs and it has helped him a lot for logic and problem solving even if it isn't a part of your major. Hope that's the sort of advice you were looking for
@@kellychuba I am planning on grad school for a mathematical physics path with a take on the more rigorous side of the field. Very interesting major though, haven't met anyone in marine engineering before lol
Another excellent choice for self-study would be Physics for Scientists and Engineers (9th ed.). I will come back to the video when I get out of work. I double majored math and physics as an undergrad, and wish our textbook for the freshman year had been this lucid.
The laws of physics as outlined in these textbooks don't change, so therefore, any edition whatever is fine and dandy. The publishers keep re-treading them (changing the problem sets, adding 'new' features, twiddling with the layout) but it's basically the same book every time. My own personal favourite is Sears and Zemansky - I'm emotionally attached to it, it's a close friend. ❤
A great textbook! Used it as a reference text, when I studied physics. I preferred it over my course textbook, which was very, very famous - Halliday and Resnick.
Fun fact: Sheldon Cooper from Big Bang Theory has it in his book collection in his apartment ! I have bought this book a month ago and I’m blown away by its high quality content. It has concrete examples for each chapter making it easy to remember and so enjoyable.
I got the notification while I'm studying electricity physics, that's really cool. + can you make a video about Academic accumulations? It can ruin everything for months, it's really a hard thing while being in highschool
One important note on this particular book. This is algebra-based physics, so no calculus. I believe that Giancoli also has a calculus-based physics book.
Physics and math challenged me to my fullest potential…I was an egotistical person…who never knew what it’s like to repeatedly fail..math made me face my fears…sadly i don’t apply many of its concepts in the field of chemistry…I’m grateful for the hard work manners I adapted to survive calculus..it wasn’t the result that changed me but the journey the fact that I can change my perspective so profoundly was magical…I kind of learned to calculate the endless possibilities that exist in my life it’s mind blowing.. Some chemistry recommendations please ?🙏
Im double majoring in engineering and math at the A.S. level and i plan to pursue Engineering Physics as a bachelors because it seems the closest to being a degree in being a Polymath, essentially. I love the idea of being able to potentially just enjoy physics classes because my math will be good enough by then!
@@nicolasdegiosa287 Im just starting pre calc next semester (I had two semesters of math requirements before I could start the degree program), so I'm definitely not there yet, but I think I caught on to this problem early enough that if I really buckle down on the math now it can payoff soon
@@Galactikhan what would be your advice for someone doing the associates portion at a place that heavily favors mechanical stuff, just like, take any electrical things I can so I don't have them all stacked in year 3 and 4?
@@highviewbarbell It completley depends on the design sequence. If you choose electrical I would suggest taking E & M early, but the later portions will be more probability and Quantum Mechanics. Mine is actually in Aerospace so the mechanical portions help significantly for my design sequence. I think the main thing I am struggling with is my last elective for PHYS 4213/5213 which is Nuclear Particle Physics and looking into sub particle interactions. The big things you need to probably practice early are QM things like the Time Independatnt Schrodinger Equation and constructing/understanding Hamiltonian Equations of Motion (EOMs) which will help in Physical Mechanics I & II and other upper devision Physics courses you will need. This will also help out when you want to take Quantum Electrodynamics if you are choosing an electric or even computer science design sequence.
I can't think of a better subject to self-study than this. There are so many real-life applications that a basic knowledge of physics can help one accomplish; especially these days.
You know the author of of the dover book 'Essential calculus with applications' Richard Silverman wrote another calculus book named 'Modern Calculus and Analytic Geometry' (also a dover book). It is said to be proof based and just as rigorous as Spivak, but unlike spivak it covers analytic geometry and more topics (almost 1200 pages)You should check it out! Also Daniel Vellerman author of 'How to Prove It' wrote a calculus book 'Calculus: A Rigorous First Course' which is rigorous but also readable. It also seems to be a dover book. Both have solutions and answers to the odd numbers excersises. Since they are dover books, the books should be pretty cheap.
I am currently in the "Gymnasium" the american equivalent would be something like High school and I have advanced physics and advanced math as subjects and it is really hard. Upon that I also have Astronomy which is even harder. Idk if I'm the only one but I just love all 3 subjects but I am so mediocre at them its so annoying and frustrating. And I have 9 hours of school every day so I dont even have much time to study anything and catch up. Its really really hard to push through but I got a B in physics last week so I guess I'm doing somewhat okay although I wouldve liked an A oder A- at least.
The word "physics" probably comes from "physic", which is a synonym for a cathartic (a high-power laxative). "Physics" was chosen from observing the physiological reaction students have when they see the problem sets or the exams.
Let A be the set of all integers greater than 5 and less than 10. Let B be the set of all integers less than 5 and greater than 10. Find the intersection of A and B. (Hint: it's not the empty set)
Could you recommend book on complex analysis...? And how can we approach and visualise complex numbers ... From the very beginning .. and what background one must have before starting complex analysis..?
Why studying PHYSICS brings you success in any career? Here are 5 reasons: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NL0lCv2fV-0.htmlsi=YmEqsDUIJiMNQVQ7
IMHO, as long as you get a Physics textbook from the early 2000s or late 1990s, you should be good. The fundamentals of physics have not changed a lot. New textbooks just have "semester passes" to digital content, but nothing else beyond that.
Giancoli's book is pre University physics presented as NOT requiring calculus. Fundamentals of Physics by Resnick, Halliday, Walker is another pre university physics book and also for freshman physics in the language of Calculus.
Please iam from india and national language is hindi please give option in three dot the options is audio track this option help me to seen your video in hindi
Honestly, I haven't checked out the book myself, but just from this video, it seems like a high school physics textbook than a College/University textbook
The most important feature of an intro physics text is that it solves examples symbolically, and doesn't plug in numbers as soon as possible, which is what beginning students tend to do. As a TA, I once gave a quiz with absolutely no numbers in it, yet got numerical answers.
For me physics is easier to understand while maths is a mountain to climb. I’d rather do chemistry and biology , physics 😅but the degree I want to pursue after high school needs maths too😂
As an Indian student , I am very glad how our physics syllabus is in our high school and college it covers all most everything in physics even if it not so much deep but its a good amount of information,i mean almost everything he showed in this video is covered .
