What is the easiest way to learn pre-university Physics, specially the mathematics.?

This is what worked for me: I would read the book, follow the examples, do the exercises and would compare my answers with the book answers. If something was really difficult to understand, I would go to the teacher or to a personal tutor for an explanation. Hang in there...it will get better.

For recent physics and maths preprints, try here\n\nhttp://lanl.arxiv.org/\n\nor one of it's mirror sites

PHY333 gave you the ans, thats how I did it.. just follow all directions.. its easy... Rob

There is a great website on this kind of stuff, check out:\n http://scienceworld.wolfram.com/physics/NewtonsLawofCooling.html\n\nThere is also an equivalent one for mathematics:\n\nhttp://mathworld.wolfram.com/\n\nExcellent resources for basic to advanced theory.

The trouble that most people have with understanding physics is (1) mastering the mathematics needed to set up and solve the problem (2) getting an intuition for the behavior of the systems that you are trying to learn.\n\nSo one way to improve is to make sure you have mastered algebra and calculus. This way you can focus your learning on physics, rather than on math. The second point about developing an intuition has to do with the fact that most of us already have some understanding of rudimentary physics just from our everyday experience in the world. This way when you are trying to solve a new physics problem, you can ask relevant key questions that can guide you toward the right direction.

dude get a OP Agarwal(IIT Chem.) for chemistry, Resnick and Halliday(fundamentals of physics),I.E Irodov(for challenging problems in phys.),For maths Tata McGraw HIll Mathematics 2006-07 edition and u do enough practise frm these books then u r sure to get a good rank in d exams. and also HC Verma is also goood for physics

Most answers on this page give for granted that you are comparing mathematics with *theoretical* physics and try to demonstrate that physics can be somehow studied as a consequence of mathematics.\nAs a physicist myself, I can agree that theoretical physics is not that hard when you already master mathematics. On the other hand, we should not forget that there is much more, in physics, when you go from the blackboard to the laboratory. Just remember that many great physicists where experimental physicists: Tycho Brahe, Galileo Galilei, Michael Faraday, Marie Curie, Enrico Fermi, to tell only a few names.\nThe ability of those people in inventing and conducting experiments has nothing to do with mathematics, it's a completely different dimension of thinking, that joins the necessary deep understanding of the physical laws to a kind of practical intuition and management skills that is not usually common in mathematicians.

Here's a great source of free books (audiobooks as well):\n\nhttp://www.gutenberg.org\n\nHere's some other links I've collected over time:\n\nhttp://totallyfreemath.com/math.html\nhttp://spot.colorado.edu/~dubin/bookmarks/b/1240.html\nhttp://www.math.gatech.edu/~cain/textbooks/onlinebooks.html\nhttp://www.physicsforfree.com\nhttp://www.lightandmatter.com/area1book1.html

I've got a big exam tomorrow too, infact 4! I haven't revised for my maths or one of my physics but I revised loadsa past papers in the past month for my other physics. I went over them today to see which questions i couldn't do and tried to do them, or look at the definitions I need to know. I think if you just skim the stuff you need to define then you can work the rest out.

hmm, well I'm a college student, I'm a freshman, but I'm a physics major and love talking about physics :)  I can help you with any physics problem or questions or something if you want.  I'm usually on the physics part of this site because I'm a dork like that and I like answering people's physicsy questions in order to procrastinate my papers and studying for my finals :p  I actually tutor kids in physics, so if you have any questions, feel free to ask, my e-mail is cmi3@yahoo.com

Free online physics tutoring that is available at all times? Hmmm... Yahoo Answer is probably the closest thing to what you're looking for...but there is no guaranteed that your question will get answered, or that the answers are any good. And even if someone does give you the right answer, there is no way for you to tell the right ones from the wrong ones.

What subjects are you interested in?\nIf she likes maths I recommend the book - Challenge and Thrill of Pre-college Mathematics by Venkatachala et.al. published by New Age Publishers.

I am sure Mathematics and Physic are compulsory subjects and perhaps if you have knowledge in Computer Science would be even better.\n\nI almost forgot about it.I am sure you need Geography too.Otherwise how are you going to read maps if you don't take the subject.

Hi!  I teach chemistry and physics.  I've got this one.  If you'd like further clarification, feel free to messenger me at my yahoo messenger ID of \nfortitudinousskeptic\nor email me at fortitudinousskeptic@yahoo.com\n\nYou will need......\nalgebra 1 and algebra 2\ngeometry\ntrigonometry\nprecalculus or "advanced math"\nat least a full, intense year of calculus, probably with physics in college during the first year.  The other courses should precede the calculus in high school\nIf you are a physics major, they will want you to take Differential Equations probably after the calculus series.\nThere might be a few other requirements specific to your college or university.\nFEEL FREE to write me for more advice.  I'd be very happy to assist you.  :)     - Kevin

There are many good physics departments around the US and other places. It depends on what you want to study. I suggest you go to the US News & World Report site, they have a very good rating system for universities. If you are interested in String Theory, try getting into Princeton, Ed Witten is the most important physicist working in the field and works there.
