You don't learn physics by solving a problem and getting it right, you learn physics by seeing how many ways there are to get it wrong!!!! Loovvveeee it!!
Yes.They think you get better by getting numericals right,but you'll get better by getting them wrong infinite times and verifying your mistakes everytime.
My summary of the technique: 1. Choose the concept you want to understand 2. Take a blank piece of paper, write the name of that concept at the top of the page 3. Explain the idea to yourself as if you were teaching it to someone who does not understand it at all 4. Whenever you get stuck, go back to the reference material, lectures or a teacher assistant and re-read or re-learn the material until you get it enough that you can explain it on the paper 5. Whenever you write down a wordy or a confusing explanation for something, try either to simplify the language, or create an analogy to understand it better (6. If you want to understand something even better or remember it even better, further try to develop, simplify and improve the explanation) (7. A good self-test of what you've learned is to go through your technique without looking at any reference material at any point and see if you can explain it deeply)
What really sucks is when you don't have the time or mental energy to dig into the subject and obtain a deep understanding. Instead, you find yourself memorizing formulas and homework solution methods, learning to use the software tools, struggling your way through projects, wasting time doing document formatting and generating images for reports, and cramming for exams, ultimately forgetting 90% of what you "learned" two semesters later. Learning under intense time pressure was my biggest obstacle in school. I had to cut my schedule back to about 12 credit hours per semester once I started getting into the upper level electrical engineering classes. I would buy the textbooks a semester early, and begin reading them ahead of time just so I could devote more time to projects. Having to apply concepts to a project before you have had adequate time to digest them, for me, was super stressful.
Can relate. I'm a the end of 2nd semester physics and I've been doing less than 30 CP (which is considered the average you should be doing per semester in Germany) but all my passion for the subject is for nothing when the time pressure is still so extreme I'm getting anxiety and depression over not passing the semester all while having literally no freetime, i.e. working 24/7 for an entire semester straight. It really doesn't help you're hinted at how you will be expelled and banned from all unis in the entire country should you fail a single class twice, it's just pure terror. If I had a little more time I have enough confidence to say I could be doing very well in physics but with this schedule paired with all the intern ships you have to take in semester break that are better than semester but still a 100% unpayed full-time job I really get the impression I won't make it for another 4 semesters, getting my Bachelor.
@@Mystixorin my university in Germany also u can fail as often u want too but u have a gop containing of 3 courses in 4 semester one of them is in the first the second two are in the 2nd semester u have too pass one of them until 4th semester is over and u have too get your bachelor and pass until 9th semester completely. Only 2 rules too fail the degree it is is still very stressful
You know what? You are absolutely fucking correct. Especially about the be honest with yourself part. I've noticed I make myself think I know what I'm doing because my notes are beautiful and I can follow along and copy down formulas but really? Only half of it I can do without reference. So thank you very much, I'm going to be working a lot harder now.
What helps me is to build a relationship with the professor, so that I don’t feel afraid or discouraged to ask a question, followed with another, and another lol. Spending time after class if they have a few minutes to chat is the best way for me, and even talking about other ways these things we learn can be seen in other fields, and the applications of them.
This kind of thinking is probably absolutely correct for someone who is no longer an undergrad but for undergrads espacially in the beginning this thinking would be very demotivating imagine you just started studying physics you have this one question that you find realy hard so you get yourself together dive into the matter and after a long way of picking some informations here and there you finally get a solution and then you just feel great and i argue with that kind of thinking in that particular case you would be ok i did it but i didnt understand so it is not good and i cant think of anything more demotivating than that. Because it is important that even small steps even small achievements are important for getting your hopes up that you are atleast able to do a bit
Schaum's Outlines, that and learning from multiple textbooks. Disagree about not looking at examples though, what you described is what back of the chapter problems are for.
kaga13 Schaums is the best! The reason I really emphasized not looking is because back of the chapter problems usually only provide the answer online, and not the method to solve the problem. And sometimes you can get the answer right for the wrong reason.
I want to do Physics more than anything in the world but I'm terrified of failing! Sad I know. My motivation is there but my math is nowhere near the level.
Not always the devil you know is less scary, you should be terrified of living your whole life without doing what you love the most, that is indeed, a miserable life.
@@AndrewDotsonvideos I came in at an intermediate algebra level (one below). Not because I was necessarily bad at math, but just because I never did the homework in high school. I can agree 100% it comes with the physics. I have a much better understanding of calculus and trig from just doing the work and practicing physics than I did after taking actual classes for them. For me I think it comes with seeing real world application for the math, rather than just plugging in random numbers with no meaning.
I recognize failure as a lesson for undermining some false assumption, however I am worried that I won’t be able to get my work done fast enough to be able to pass my undergraduate courses. Worse yet, I am afraid of losing what I previously covered (high school, early undergrad physics)
I see the resemblance between you and Albert. I was a math major and did ok, but struggled in physics. I think I lacked confidence. Thanks to your videos, I'm understanding it now. And the humor helps too.
So here's the thing. I'm in grade 10 and last semester we learned about physics and I absolutely despised. But now, I'm trying to brainwash my self into tolerating, of even enjoying because the fact that there is something that I'm shaky with disturbs be, because I know if I put in the time and effort I would do well. Even though I don't understand a word that comes out of your mouth when talking about physics, I actually really enjoy them and I'm getting excited to do physics next year. Thank you so much 🙏
That thing about checking your assumptions is eerily similar to a quote by Ayn Rand about checking your premises in her novel Atlas Shrugged. A philosopher was offering this as advice to someone who couldn’t make sense of what was happening to the world. It’s interesting to hear that it holds actual weight.
I keep all of my notes color coded. I write the questions in green. I do the work in blue. And I write any theorems and formulas in pink. It was awful looking through my notes when everything was written in black ink.
Great video, will definitely use these tips as I will be freshman prospective physics major this fall. One question I have is which math class do you think I should take: Linear Algebra or Multivariable Calculus? I just took BC Calculus as a senior in high school and don't know which one is the better to take first. I know both of these will be valuable in regard to the physics curriculum so I just wanted to know which you think I should take. Besides that if you have any other tips that would be great! Keep up the work on the videos!
Multivariable will probably help you more short term! The linear algebra you do in physics doesn't necessarily require taking a whole course in it in my opinion. But multi. Var follows you everywhere!
My problem is that I can almost always solve the problem after a couple tries. But rarely do I get my first answer right. Maybe my studying routine isn't efficient?
I agree with you on almost everything you said, but I have just a question, which book to choose, the one having large theory and less number of problems or the one having large number of problems but only a little theory. My problem is this: i understand the theory but i can't solve the problems, the problem i think is that I cant use maths perfectly in physics, any ideas or suggestions And thanks again!!
i guess bro we are both in the same condition. I would prefer a book with more math on any day rather than the one with theory because theory can be fount on YT or wikipedia. You need numericals to get a feel for different situations and know what method to apply when and what works and what not
Alec Avery The physics and Mech Eng curriculum intersect at a bunch of points so I'm not surprised! Out of curiosity, how did you find engineerings version of thermodynamics?
Andrew Dotson well with my prof it was extremely tough but I was able to get a great understanding. I take thermo 2 in the fall so we will see how that goes.
So im at a stoploss on what to study. Im currently approaching my 3rd semester of college, and will be taking conceptual physics which I am excited about. I hope that it gives me an overview and maybe insight in the field. Being a physics major seems pretty cool.
B Rych Well if your conceptual physics is anything like ours at ODU, it might not be exactly like you think. You'll still just be talking about 17th-19th century physics. Newtons laws, electrodynamics, etc. just thought I'd let you know, in case you thought you'd be learning about black holes and string theory!
Oh no, I didn't think that. I'm just excited to be taking the course, and get a quick glimpse into the field. Would you say as a physics major, that most of your time is doing math problems and solving complex equations? Thanks for the reply as well.
B Rych I would say most of my time is spent figuring out how to turn a physics word problem into a math problem. Once you figure out what the problem is asking mathematically, it's usually pretty straight forward from there
Can you make a video for incoming freshmen going into physics? Like advice you wish you heard as a freshman and overall advice on what to do to be competitive for grad school and stuff like that. Great video by the way 👍🏻
Let's be honest there are two types of learning for physics college and personal. Personal is better since you can pace yourself and appreciate the beauty of the calculation and how the world works. College physics, on the other hand, is not for everyone because the system is designed to weed out people already plus all the other bureaucracy bs you have to deal.
I love Physics and am majoring in it in university, but I struggle with remembering the equations. But is remembering the equations - mostly the complicated ones - really necessary?
Introductory biology and chemistry go a long way in enriching your experience with physics and will help you to refine your specific tastes in physics problems
Dave Mustaine It's a waste of time to shotgun problems that aren't your assigned homework. If you're going to work extra problems, work the ones that elucidate a concept you're struggling on.
That's what I do, my university's physics subjects sets weekly assignments of 3-4 questions (depending on the question difficulty - my hardest assignment to memory had only two painfully difficult questions) for upper level physics courses. I spend my time solving them + my math assignment questions.
I've definitely had my fair share of classes that don't assign homework, which is where working through more exercises is worth making the time for. Like kaga said, use your own discretion on picking which problems are the most relevant to what you're learning.
Dave Mustaine also, this applies more for books like griffiths electrodynamics and sears thermodynamics, and less for university physics. I'd question anyone who has the time to answer all of the problems in a university physics textbook...
I am currently shooting through my old algebra/calc I book alongside an advanced engineering textbook in order to become highly capable with the underlying mathematical foundations of my physics major. The only issue with banging out exercises in a textbook is retaining the learned information after singular long sessions of completing a chapter of exercises.
I read on the internet that biology is a good prequisite for physics? but I mean what is biology to do with physics anaway? biology is the study of life makes good for health and people intrested in animals and plants, I mean can it help with quantum partical, cosmolgy classical mechanics and dynamics?
Hey there, just a quick question. Can you study two majors at once in the same university? I want to learn physics and computer science in the quickest possible time.
EzDreamer You can but you don't want to, I studied physics and engineering and while there was overlap it was not easy and I would have had a better time majoring in one and minoring in the other.
You definitely can. But it can be very difficult unless both majors have mutual course requirements. You could try out double majoring, and if the future course load looks too daunting, you can switch one to a minor. I minor is a baby degree in something, with out having to go as in depth as you would if you majored in it. For example, I have a minor in math, so I took classes like Calc 3, real analysis, linear alg, but didn't have to take anything like abstract algebra or more advanced analysis courses.
EzDreamer Major would be like the 30 or 60 credits associated with your major course of study. The minor I'd like 12 or so credits associated with another course of study.
Believe me dude, not everybody can. I met people who couldn't even do highschool math to save their life. I do believe that most people can succeed in studying physics or a similarily complex subject but not everyone can. Which isn't even bad because not everyone has to do that or even wants to.
Ironically, Andrew didn't do well as a physics major. His main talent is positive thinking, perseverance and interpersonal/intrapersonal skills to get him through temporary failure.
The way in which physics is taught, makes no sense to me at all. Plus I hate math. The teaching method all seems backwards to me. But, I discovered that if you just spend a bit of time analyzing "motion", you soon figure out what it is that is required to make motion possible. Once done, you convert your understandings into simple equations. You then pick up a physics book, or check the internet, and find that your equations are identical to Einstein's Special Relativity equations, and the Lorentz Transformation equations. Sadly, despite being able to do such a thing does not mean that you will not be a total failure in university. Discovering SR on my own was a breeze for me even though I have practically diddly squat education because my parents pulled me out of school, all thanks to the teachers thinking of me as a backward nobody. So university would have been a total failure. I suppose discovering physics, and studying physics, are almost totally unrelated.
So here's the thing. I'm in grade 10 and last semester we learned about physics and I absolutely despised. But now, I'm trying to brainwash my self into tolerating, of even enjoying because the fact that there is something that I'm shaky with disturbs be, because I know if I put in the time and effort I would do well. Even though I don't understand a word that comes out of your mouth when talking about physics, I actually really enjoy them and I'm getting excited to do physics next year. Thank you so much 🙏

You then pick up a physics book, or check the internet, and find that your equations are identical to Einstein's Special Relativity equations, and the Lorentz Transformation equations. Sadly, despite being able to do such a thing does not mean that you will not be a total failure in university. Discovering SR on my own was a breeze for me even though I have practically diddly squat education because my parents pulled me out of school, all thanks to the teachers thinking of me as a backward nobody. So university would have been a total failure. I suppose discovering physics, and studying physics, are almost totally unrelated.
I too watch Brick and Mortar

You discovered relativity on your own in less time than Einstein did?
So here's the thing. I'm in grade 10 and last semester we learned about physics and I absolutely despised. But now, I'm trying to brainwash my self into tolerating, of even enjoying because the fact that there is something that I'm shaky with disturbs be, because I know if I put in the time and effort I would do well. Even though I don't understand a word that comes out of your mouth when talking about physics, I actually really enjoy them and I'm getting excited to do physics next year. Thank you so much 🙏
we learn physics not solving many correctopic ways but also wrong part of of wrong way because that helps in solving new problem more efficiently
