So You Want a Degree in Physics 

:watchout:

Well that's what smart people get from average iq people just do what you like and what you are good at cause at the end of line you are the only person who cares about you

In my opinion, a little crazy goes a long way.

The ppl I know barely know whho Tesla is and never heard of Hawking so consider urself lucky that the ppl around u know what physics is

What teacher would tell call someone crazy for wanting to get into physics???

Berserkarn MATHEMATICAL!!!

+Berserkarn It's rather the recognition of ones own ignorance / impotence, which is the basis of knowledge and power.

Huh, maybe I can finally use C++ without having to almost mimicking someone else's code... maybe :I

Bruh. You make me feel good now. Thank

@@marloscatos3001 Oh that phase.. jeez!

This was beautiful said.

well, but what really scares me is: he is saying is at 10:50 "At this point you will maybe learn special relativity. thats after about 2 years." But my courses say we talk about SRT after about 6 month...

@@luciel3910 Hey, don't worry about Special Relativity. There is an advanced approach and a simple approach, you will likely cover the simple approach which you will be ready for when you get to it. If you'd like to know what you're getting into ahead of time find a pdf of a modern physics book for year 1 or year 2 students and find the special relativity section. It's conceptually interesting and can be hard to visualize but you can derive the governing equations with a simple algebra approach.

Thank you for this

@@bensparrow3356 yeah i know, i already did a presentation in high school about time dilatation. I was worried about the real algebra with galilean-transformation to Einsteinian-transformations, but after i had the galilean part i am somewhat confident, that i will be fine

Are you goijg to grad school?

@@jmccullough975 Hey, yes, Indeed im focussing on supeconductivity, passed 6 exams already, im taking QED in a few days and then im done for this year, next year i have 2 more exams and then my thesis, almost there!

@@ivanfuseri6032 congrats man that’s awesome! I’m just starting. I changed from pre-law to physics and maths. Any advice?

@@jmccullough975 best of luck man. My advice Is to not be afraid if things seems way too hard at First, and to be consistent with exercises, i usually learn close to nothing while being passive (Reading theory for example) and learn a lot while doing exercises. You dont have to do tons of exercises, but be sure to know exactly what you are doing and why

@@ivanfuseri6032 bro before you got your physics degree what was your level of math in high school? were you good at it or did you have to work your ass off?

I am so using that. "Money shot math." XD

Spermatogenesis math.

DarkMatter2525 I was going to learn more advanced maths, but it appears that part of my brain wore a condom.

DarkMatter2525 Ahahahaha that is the best thing I've ever heard

DarkMatter2525 Zygote math? Damn. I must be a gamete. Well crap. I was consumed by a female's Macrophage.

How was it ? And what are you using it for? That’s really inspiring, im 27 right now

@@ganapatikitty It was challenging but extremely satisfying when completed. I graduated with honors. I took a position as a researcher in a physics lab at a university. From there I completed a masters in material science. I currently work as an engineer/scientist in industry. Also, I was a terrible/lazy student in high school. I had no career direction.

+jojojorisjhjosef mah nigga

Jack D how's it going??

don't be or uh...i hope you weren't? it's not all bad. the guy in the video really makes it seem significantly harder than it actually is - third year physics major

Felix Gonzales I imagine it like waking up, studying and eating and going to bed, for the rest of your life until you get the degree.

Franco Sanson yeah except you sleep a lot less and most of your attempts at problems are going to be wrong (initially) so if you can accept that you're fine

Right on man, do 10000 hours of math before hand. Seriously

It’s been six years. How did it go? I’m a few weeks away from finishing assuming I pass all my classes.

Wonder how it has been going

So curious to know brother

Same here actually, right down to the same age when I decided to go back to school! Just started my first semester! 😊 Hope it's going good!

+Nik G In USA I believe they still use miles, pounds and gallons! Many still consider the metric system as European nonsense!

Partha Sur Yes, I know. And it is quite sad.

+Partha Sur I'm a physicist in Australia. I can assure that SI aka standard international measurements i.e metric are commonplace in physics.

+Nik G As long as it gets the job done, there's nothing wrong with it.

Bradley Eversley OK, then I will measure distance in pinkies and temperature in snowflakes. 23.143 pinkies is one head btw. And 0 snowflakes is the temperature of my armpit when I'm jogging. You see, it gets the job done...

I am pre born and in incubator. I was sad about this but bnow I cant even do that....

Everything he said until 11:00 I've already been taught and I'm just finishing my first year doing general physics course at UoM. And he is right, if you do physics/math, you will eventually learn it no matter what. The only obstacle is your own laziness :)

Well what do you want to do?

It's really not so bad. You just have to stay focused.

The important thing to realize is that you can't learn it all in one night, nor can you learn it all. Just learn one thing at a time and you'll have a lot of tools in your toolbox of skills.

I'm a high school student and it didn't scare me.I WILL MASTER PHYSICS.

me. that was me.

me too my man XD

***** I did, in our student survey, that he gets to read, i told everything that he sucks at why are you wasting your time telling me what to do

Sunny shah hey man. I'm thinking of going into computer science, but also enjoy physics. Just wondering how do you like it so far? Are you taking minor in physics and major in computer science? That's what I'm thinking of doing but wondering if it's a lot to handle or not. Would love some feedback

zJazz I am a computer science major, and Math minor, but since Physics is applied Mathematics in real world, that's the reason i like it, so i am just going to take 3 mandatory Physics course that are required for engineering classes, even tho they are not required for Computer Science, i am still going to take them just for fun

Sunny shah if you were to apply for a job, would those physics classes show?

zJazz your job doesn't care what classes you took in College besides Computer Related classes no job is going to give a damn if you did some extra class in for example Biology, or Geology, they only care about your programming skills and physics has nothing to do with programming, so i am sure even if i show it to them, they wouldn't give a damn

hahahahah i get it

I don't

Well, delightful. Look more into the anti gmo pseudoscience camp.

King Crocoduck I have stopped procrastinating and at 31 I'm getting my education and it's you who have made me get off of my ars and do it! thanx :)

I am excited to see where you go with the new vids!!!

King Crocoduck Bah, apparently I only did baby maths during Engineering (mid 1990's). :) Loved Laplace transforms, but I sucked at strict sinusoidal calculus (I was a terrible student back then). Great advice KC.

King Crocoduck After this video, you need to stop apologizing for the time you are absent from You Tube. We can simply wait and enjoy when you do upload because it will be obvious that something is important enough for you to make a video about it instead of studying. And, if the choice is a video or getting laid...you don't have to be a physicist to figure this one out.

Same bro

+TheChaosLp I mean, would you rather know the options that you can take before you finally decide what you want to do, or not know anything about your options entirely and hope for the best that you will make it through? I'd rather know what I'm getting into, even if it makes me worried about what would happen if I took "this" class instead of "that" other class. At least I can have some type of vantage point on the qualifications to get a physics degree, even if it's simply by finding out the options on what types of maths and classes are needed to get me one step closer to getting my degree.

Good luck! I know you'll kill it!

How did it go?

KEEP IT SIMPLE AXIOMS For any drawn line to exist, it must possess a substance with an area of width. Given a single shape of area separated into two halves by a single drawn line, there will be two smaller shapes to the area, and a single area of the drawn line. The sum of the area to a drawn shape is inclusive of the areas of any lines drawn within the limits of a shape's outline. The sum of the area to a drawn shape is not inclusive of the surrounding area to that of its drawn outline. The total sum of any drawn line is defined by its atomic weight, not by its length and the width of its area. METAPHYSICAL NON-GEOMETRIC LINES Metaphysical lines go into all of the formations of the patterns and shapes of the star constellations, however, although they are generally both discernible and recognisable in nature, they do not possess any substance of length width or of atomic weight. A singular metaphysical line pattern or shape only exists within the singular mind of its creator, until it is transmitted to others. The sum of all metaphysical lines patterns shapes and substance is the sum of creation. METAPHYSICAL NON-GEOMETRIC SHAPES Given the single length of a right angle multiplied by four, the length of the perimeter of the square will be four times as long as the single length of right-angle. Given the single length of a right angle multiplied by three, the length of the perimeter of the circle will be three times as long as the single length of right-angle. THE LENGTH TO A CIRCLES EDGE Using a 120-centimetre length of diameter multiply this by 3 The circle's edge length is 360 centimetres in length The circle's edge length has 360 degrees of subdivision The circle's edge length is 360 centimetres long, and each one of its 360 degrees is 1 centimetre in length SUMERIAN METHOD - CALCULATING THE AREA OF A CIRCLE Using a 120-centimetre length of diameter multiply this by 3 1. The Circles Edge is 360 cm long 2. Multiply the 360 centimetres "Edge Length" by itself = 129, 600 square centimetres 3. Divide 129, 600 by 12 = 10, 800 Square Centimetres to the Area of the Circle ARCHIMEDES: PROPOSITION The area of any circle is equal to a right-angled triangle in which one of the sides about the triangle is equal to the radius, and the other to the circumference of the circle. Archimedes Triangle The Circle in question has a 120-centimetre Diameter length 1. The base right-angle is equal to the radius of 60 centimetres 2. The area of the circle is equal to the above right-angle triangle, which has one side that is equal to the 60-centimetre radius, and the other to the 360-centimetre circumference of the circle 3. The 360-centimetre height of the right-angle is equal to 6 x the 60-centimetre radius length 4. (1r) 60 centimetres x (6r) 360 centimetres is 21, 600 square centimetres the area of the rectangle 5. Half of the rectangle is 10, 800 square centimetres 6. The area of the triangle is half of the 1r x 6r rectangle 7. Half of the 1r x 6r rectangle is 1r x 3r 8. (1r) 60 centimetres x (3r) 180 centimetres = 10, 800 square centimetres THREE TIMES THE RADIUS SQUARED 1. The Diameter of the Circle is 120 centimetres 2. The diameter x 120 centimetres gives, 14, 400 square centimetres to the square of the diameter 3. The 60-centimetre radius x 60 centimetres yields 3, 600 square centimetres to the square of the radius 4. The square of the radius x 3 gives, 10, 800 square centimetres to the area of the Circle SUMERIAN AREA: 10, 800 square centimetres ARCHIMEDEAN AREA 10, 800 square centimetres THREE TIMES THE RADIUS SQUARED AREA: 10, 800 square centimetres FOUR QUADRANTS 10,800 square centimetres Four identical results millennia apart must be correct, as they cannot be coincidental. TWELVE STEPS FROM A CUBE TO ITS INTERNAL SPHERE Calculating the surface area and volume of a 6-centimetre diameter sphere, obtained from a 6-centimetre high cube. 1. Measure the (a) cubes height to obtain its Diameter Line, which in this case is 6 centimetres. 2. Multiply 6 cm x 6 cm to obtain the square area of one face of the cube; and add them together to obtain the length of the perimeter to the square face = Length 24 cm, Square area 36 square cm. 3. Multiply the square area, by the length of diameter line to yield the cubic capacity = 216 cubic cm. 4. Divide the cubic capacity by 4, to yield one-quarter of the cubic capacity of the cube = 54 cubic cm. 5. Multiply the one quarter cubic capacity by 3. to yield the cubic capacity of the Cylinder = 162 cubic cm. 6. Multiply the area of one face of the cube by 6, to yield the cubes surface area = 216 square cm. 7. Divide the cubes surface area by 4, to yield one-quarter of the cubes surface area = 54 square cm. 8. Multiply the one quarter surface area of the cube by 3, to yield the three quarter surface area of the Cylinder = 162 square cm. CYLINDER TO SPHERE 9. Divide the Cylinders cubic capacity by 4, to yield one-quarter of the cubic capacity of the Cylinder = 40 & a half cubic cm. 10. Multiply the one quarter cubic capacity by 3, to yield the three quarter cubic capacity of the Sphere = 121 & a half cubic cm, to the volume of the Sphere. 11. Divide the Cylinders surface are by 4, to yield one-quarter of the surface area of the Cylinder = 40 & a half square cm. 12. Multiply the one quarter surface area by 3 to yield the three quarter surface area of the Sphere = 121 & a half square cm, to the surface area of the Sphere CONFIRMATION BY WEIGHT Given that the 6 Centimetre Diameter Line Sphere which was obtained from a Wooden Cube weighed 160 grams, prior to it being turned on a wood lathe into the shape of a sphere The Cylinder of the Cube would weigh 120 grams The waste wood shavings would weigh 40 grams Given that the Cylinder weighed 120 grams The waste wood shavings would weigh 30 grams Note: And ironically you can also obtain this same result by volume, using Archimedes Principle. www.fromthecircletothesphere.net

z8_GND_5296 Going for my Bachelors in Project Management. Then the following year I can get my Masters of Science in Project Management Professional (MSc PMP). Way easier than physics shit

Ewww I'll take Physics over that boring shit any day. Just fucking with you. People are different and like different things. Good luck on your masters :-)

EagleLogic thanks man! A masters in two years works for me. Especially to be in an entrepreneur-type scenario for the internet and mobile space. Bringing new content to the web through publishers (distribution). Plus traveling?!?! :D Mad respect to scientists and physicists... it's just not me.

Thanks for this, I’m about to start my last year of Highschool and I’m thinking of Majoring in physics, doing a masters degree and maybe a PHD. I have to admit the maths, especially all of the equations used in Uni physics is a far cry from the simple integration and differentiation I learnt last year. It’s nice to know there’s someone else who had the same experience, not doing so well in maths succeeding and understanding (seemingly) complicated mathematics and theories.

Hey, I'm 32 years old and in my third year of a dual major in physics and astronomy. I was a laborer until I was 29, and then something clicked and I decided I needed to pursue this. If its your dream, you can do it. You may not be able to tomorrow, but keep learning and keep looking forward. I wound up moving halfway across the world to pursue this degree, after working for a decade as a chef at a restaurant. Im now only a year away from my degrees, and have experience doing research with AI and machine learning, and I am finally into my upper division physics classes. As a takeaway, dont rule anything out. You are only 19 years old. So much can change over the next few years. If you had the tenacity to learn calculus on your own, I have no doubt you could pursue a degree in physics if you commit to it. Just keep an eye out an seize your opportunities as they come, and you'll be fine. Sorry for the long reply, but your message spoke to me. I've been typing on my phone, so any grammatical errors are probably due to that :P

@@edwardcashman8723 That's inspiring! I looved math and physics so much in HS and did very well at them. I was contemplating going into physics/math but changed to medicine in the last minuite, for practical reasons. I feel so stupid now having done that. While I do enjoy the science and its tangible effect in helping people, and did well at it, I can't imagine doing only that. The heart wants what it wants and I guess some people are wired to like certain things, I have no choice over that. I'm 24 now, and thinking seriously of going back to school for a physics degree after I'm done with med school (or after specialty training to have something to fall back on, but I'll be 29 then). If the consequences weren't catastrophic, I would in a heartbeat drop everything now and start applying. I'm very keen on making it happen. I don't want when I'm older to look back and regret not doing it. I can't forgive myself. so, in the meantime, maybe I'll work really hard on my math skills using the resources that you recommended. But I still have doubts... Will age be a problem to have a fulfilling career in research? Does having a career in another field hurt my chances?

Don't be. Just take it a step at a time

Studying physics isnt like climbing a moutain, its like jumping from a cliff into the abbys. You cant stop and you keep going faster untill you burn out. I am not regreting it though. Since I am a university freshman you may say I havent seen half of it but it doesnt matter, I will in time. What you said about older people attending is completely true. Some of rthem even fall back 3/4 times but they still come.

You should do a video about the right way to learn math, how you went from barely scraping by to doing well at it. It might be the best video on your channel.

Consistency man. You need to work every day, not much but enough.

Do you know a good place where I can find tutorials about linear algebra?

If you have any extra advice for a fellow Gaucho I'd love to have it haha

Don't underestimate the difficulty of the road ahead. Make good use of the PSR (physics study room.) Every week that you don't spend in there is a week wasted. *RESIST THE URGE TO CHEAT. CHEGG IS NOT YOUR FRIEND.*

damnage97 What type of math? Was computational biology or bioinformatics not avaible?

Kyle Bell bioinformatics is not as mathy as comp physics. The math I do is mostly a blend of real and complex analysis with a mash up of diff eq, linear algebra, and calculus. when you do it on a computer though everything has to be converted to discrete (that's where the analysis comes in), depending on the accuracy you need.

Kyle Bell also this is damnage97.. I've switched Google accounts since the OP

Nathaniel Garro Some universities offer computational physics courses in which you learn how to do the above. I will say that you have to adopt a certain style of doing math but if learned you will be able to do impossible analytical problems, i.e. three body or more problems, chaos theory, etc.

Nathaniel Garro honestly I use GNU octave for the small calculations, but I have not taken a course on it so I am still a bit sketchy doing problems in the program. I've only read a quarter of the documentation. Unfortunately there's no computational physics degree in the college I am interested in so I am thinking about getting a minor in cs while taking the physics major after transfering. I like to work with C for my career but am not sure what books I should read to develop the skillset needed. I have Dennis Ritchie's book but I need one focused on specifically solving problems in physics. Any recomendations. oh btw I'm also planning on reading Donald knuth's art of programming volume 1 2 3 sometime this january onward.

I like you.

Multiply the one quarter surface area by 3 to yield the three quarter surface area of the Sphere = 121 & a half square cm, to the surface area of the Sphere CONFIRMATION BY WEIGHT Given that the 6 Centimetre Diameter Line Sphere which was obtained from a Wooden Cube weighed 160 grams, prior to it being turned on a wood lathe into the shape of a sphere The Cylinder of the Cube would weigh 120 grams The waste wood shavings would weigh 40 grams Given that the Cylinder weighed 120 grams The waste wood shavings would weigh 30 grams Note: And ironically you can also obtain this same result by volume, using Archimedes Principle. www.fromthecircletothesphere.net

Hello hello, i see this comment is a year old! Can we get an update on how you're doing? I'm in a similar situation myself. I'm 20 years old and i dropped out of my high school when i was 17, because i wasn't getting a proper education there, especially not in math. I've become an autodidact, taught myself literally everything from 3rd grade math to calculus 2 which i'm currently studying, took the GED, and am now a mathematics tutor for other people studying to take the GED. I love math. It can be frustrating when you have difficulty with a certain topic in math, coming to understand it can be very cathartic. That being said, i'm also still doing baby math. I've wanted to be a scientist since 1st grade. Physics seems extremely interesting. Hopefully we both succeed. I hope you'll give me an update on how you're doing currently.

I would also like to hear an update from that guy! I myself am 20 and in about 2 and a half months i'll be 21. I also, because of family related issues, had to finish my education by means of the GED program and now i'm looking to get into a community college to major in Engineering and possibly minoring in Physics. I considered majoring in physics but decided not to since I thought I would make more money if I just got a degree in Engineering and study Physics on the side(which I now see will be a tremendous challenge!) I have such an acute passion for physics, astrophysics to be specific, but i'm just not really sure how it would get me a salary that I would be satisfied with which is why I'd rather just focus on Engineering more since that would definitely get me some more bank LOL! Also, I'm not the best with math but I do feel that sense of catharsis once I get that click! from understanding how to work a formula or from answering an especially hard problem so I think if I can get that same satisfaction with physics the i'll be the happiest I'm glad to hear that there are other people in the same boat as I am, kinda sorta, and would like to hear how they have been getting along in their lives so far! It'd be very much appreciated and I think would give all of us a bit more hope knowing that there are other people following their passions haha

+Mark Zeppelin I'm still doing alright. I started tutoring somewhere else and the students there seem a bit more diligent. Kind of down lately because i feel physically weak. But that's irrelevant i suppose. I decided i'm going to go to a nearby university for freshman year, then transfer to Ohio State University or something. I'm going to finish teaching myself calculus 1 and 2 first. Did you take the ACT or SAT yet?

Better than going back at age 40

engineers build what physicists imagine.

as they say engineering is a degree away from physics , unless of cause its bio-engineer lol

An engineer is a physics drop out. A physicist is an unemployed engineer.

Experimental physicists often build their own lab equipment. That or they design it to the letter and send the CAD to the master machinist's shop. I work as a grad student and some days I've used the lathe, table saw, and drill press. I solder some of our electronics too.

My alma mater! Good choice

no way!!! when did you graduate? I'm not sure if he was your professor but Dr. Bibilashvili is my physics 20 prof right now.

any tips for a fellow physics gaucho?

Dr B is the motherfucking man. Among the best professors I ever had. I graduated this year, and I advise getting involved in research asap. The research opportunities are excellent. Talk to Philip Lubin, and learn how to use Python for programming

Will do. thanks man.
