- An outline of my experience studying physics, and what you can expect to start learning if you are going down the same path. I don't make much mention of the higher mathematics required to complete a degree in physics but it is definitely important, I actually completed a double major in Math and Physics.

You know, there's nothing worst than waking up one day and realizing you're the only quark that's strange.
But it is flattering to know if you are a quark that has charm

Thank you Toby, I always appreciate your advice...
Is professional physics and astrophysics better to be left for the sharpest people (One that has above average and sharp abstract thinking ability)? Although I enjoy math and somewhat good at it, I do not consider myself as above average. I am, frankly, intimidated by physics yet so fascinated by it. I have strong passion to understand how things work at the fundamental level, but I am not sure if I will be able to keep up with the course.
I talk about this is a couple of my latest videos.
"Do you need to be gifted to study physics?" ua-cam.com/video/uYN9euMvd_U/v-deo.html
"How to study physics if you're bad at math" ua-cam.com/video/ot7A2irPpQA/v-deo.html
7906jun, Why do you believe you're not good in abstract thinking? I believe anyone can become good at thinking abstractly if they just open their minds. Most are not willing, which is why the bar is so low imo. You mentioned passion, that is more than enough to become a scientist whole hardheartedly and contribute to the Stem fields. Your willingness to learn and well measured attitude will take you all the way. Never give up on your dream because who knows if one doesn't try.
@@thenextshenanigantownandth4393 Couldn't agree more , It always takes time and hardworks if one want to truly master something.
@@thenextshenanigantownandth4393 nonsense, you need high IQ to study uni level Physics. Not everyone has the ability to process what they are studying. If everyone and anyone could do Physics, more people will take it and excel in it even if they don't like it. There is a bell curve for people who have the ability to do Physics.

What did u do?

Thank you for your video and support!
Was there a point when you felt like shifting to another degree? If yes, what made you stay in Physics?
+KimKyng definitely, many times. But I have built much of my identity around being a physicist, I don't resonate with other subjects in the same way. Listening to top physicists talk refocuses me on the fact that I want to pursue it even though it can be very hard.
thanks, any tips on how to endure the high road of physics? Cause I'm in my 2nd year already and I already feel like I'm walking on thin ice :/
+KimKyng what do you think you struggle with most? Honestly my best advice is to not be afraid of talking to other people in your class. They are your most important resource in doing well. Assignments are a lot better when you have someone to discuss them with. Also try to focus your energy on what's important, don't fuss over unnecessary details in the course, take a look at a past exam well in advance and work towards understanding everything in it.
THANK YOU! ^_^
Tibees, this advice projects well over other difficult subjects. I find listening to a lecture from a well known figure often resparks my interests!
Hi! I am considering doing a BSc in Physics. But I graduated from high school 5 years ago. (Currently finishing up an undergrad in another area, and I hate it. That's a story for another day) That was the last time I studied pure mathematics and physics, so I am horribly out of touch. I still read physics books and go through my brother's textbooks (12th grade/ high school). I am as deeply fascinated with it as I was in 12th grade, perhaps even more.
Would you recommend me taking up the Physics degree?
Hello Akshata, go for it! As you are not in touch, you may have troubles. But don't become scared then. Try to figure out and understand things. Ask your friends, teachers. You will get the confidence back after your first year of B.Sc. Work hard and stay motivated. All the best dear!
I graduated from high school 8 years ago and I've been in the career for 2 years and I'm almost getting to half of the carreer :D I've learned not only about science but about life. I would suggest you to go for it! I switched from psychology to physics so I had to remember everything related to math, which was a lot of work and I had to modify the way that my brain worked but it is totally possible (I've even gotten 100 in some tests and you can get it too :D). It will be a challenge but it is totally worth it. Best of wishes!
Akshata Sutar The Maths you will use in physics probably won’t be pure it will be applied maths so I wouldn’t worry about that too much. You obviously learn calculus and the like but it will be more the application of it rather than analysis like a mathematician.
Did you start studying physics?
Great video! I'd ask you all a question that I'm wondering.
I LOVE maths and physics, I LOVE to know how the world works, but since I graduated at high school in computer science, I kept studying it at university. Idk what to do:
1) keep studying computer science, which I like and I could afford
2) shift to Math or physic course, but I think I won't be good at it, maybe it could be too difficult for me even if I like, and I would trash 1 year spent in computer science
Awesome video! I do have a question, though. I'm planning on going to college to be an astrophysicist. Will doing that limit the scope of what I could study/research in the realm of physics too much?
Thank you very much! I would love to work on the origins of everything and how they got the. As well as deriving the complex maths behind it. Any suggestions?
Could you please do some tutorials on calculus - differentiation and integration
Three years for a Physics major??!! Jees!! It's five full years here in Argentina! Although we have a much deeper foundation in Math than most other schools. For example, on first year we study abstract algebra, introductory number theory and basic lineal algebra (we have it as a separate dedicated subject later) and full single variable real analysis with strict proofs for every theorem mentioned. We even did limits by strict definition, which is uncommon for physics majors. We have all the same subjects as math mayors until almost third year, plus our own introductory four "general physics" as they call them here (Newtonian mechanics in GP1, gravitation, basic fluid dynamics, elasticity, introductory thermodynamics, vibrations and waves on GP2, electromagnetism and optics on GP3, and modern physics on GP4), chemistry, and complimentary experimental courses on every semester. We get 7 electives in total on third and fourth years, along with Electromagnetism, Classical Mechanics (called "Analytical Mechanics"), Quantum mechanics I and II, and Statistical Physics. Fifth (or Senior) year is solely dedicated to research and a thesis, plus assisting to seminars. Its compulsory for students to choose a field and work together with a professor or fellow physicist. Students usually get to publish papers with their research.
In my University luckily we can not only choose physics-department electives, but also advanced math, astronomy, meteorology, chemistry and engineering subjects. I'm going to be taking Advanced Electromagnetism, Math methods for Physics (advanced group theory and functional analysis), Topology, Differential Geometry, General Relativity, Thermodynamics, Quantum Field Theory, Particle Physics and Introductory Quantum Computing (yes, i'm going for more electives than required).
Sounds great, and extensive! Good luck with everything!
WOW!!!!!!!!!! In which university are you studying I have always been dreaming of such life but I am stuck in Electrical Engineering(not my choice)
Oh God that sounds awesome!!! Which university are you in?
Both the five years you need and what you do in your first year (except the number theory) sounds like in my country as well (germany)
Saludos desde Buenos Aires. Gracias por el comentario! Creo que me va a ayudar. Vas a la UBA?
Astronomy is my Life,congratulations,greetings from México.
I'm working towards my Physics degree, and I'll have to say, although its tough and grueling at times, it's fun too.
Ah, this takes me back... But I'm so glad it's over. :D
Thank you :(. Physics, mathematics, and sciences have always been my passions from the first day that I grasped my first mathematical concept. I feel overwhelmed; I have yet to discover what my area of "expertise" is. As I have other interests as well. I cannot seem to decide on what I'd like to do with my life; I cannot find happiness in anything that I do, especially in my journey through adolescence. Have you felt anything like this before? How did you conquer these feelings of dismay?
Did you do a 'joint' mathematics and physics course or separate. If separate which course did you do first or did you do them concurrently ?
As a EE I liked physics up until quantum. Then it was just a mess for me.
boi
quantum's life!
PHYS3001 at ANU? That course is intense!
I‘m currently doing my bachelor degrees in applied computer science which i really love but i also have so much interest into physics.. i hope i can do my bachelor atleast in it at some later point in my life
I'm currently working on my degree in physics for my bachelor. I am considering going into a masters program in engineering after though, maybe some specialized area like aerospace. What's your opinion on this? I can't find much information on how employable this is. I know a bachelor of physics alone may not be enough, though I absolutely love learning the subject.
+Anthony Oceguera I agree that specialising during a masters would set you up better for a specific field you want to work in, a bachelors degree in physics is generally very broad and gives the skills to work on complex problems in many applications. But do you know the more specific or advanced field you hope to work in after a masters? You will want to make sure the masters you pick is aligned with your goals, try to contact someone who currently works in a job you would love and see how they did it! All the best :)
"and people will keep mentioning Fourier series" sounded so funny lol
@Tibees I'd like to study physics or math, probably more physics, but I work and could only do distance learning. There is a good, public university near me, but I don't know if it will be the same as attending classes while at the campus of a traditional insititution. Any suggestions?
I am a political science major. Came to college as a physics major but my passion is calling to me, so strong that it won’t go away. :)

Get better at math
Super cool. Now we need to build the quantum engine, quantum BCI, and quantum nanotech super suits and vehicles 😎
Where do you use quantum physics in industry?
I don't think electrons move at relativistic speeds, at least not in wires. They don't need to given the magnitude of the electrostatic force.
any nonzero speed is relativistic if you are precise enough

Hello. I recently graduated with a bachelor's in physics but I do not know anything in comparison to global standards. In remote areas of India, we lack resources and I also wasn't as motivated to give the subject my whole heart. I regret missing out on a lot. Can you make a video or share a link where I can know what the global standards for a physics student are. I wish to work on my concepts so I can apply for work in the a few areas in physics and also communicate my ideas. Thank you.
I am also doing MSC in physics but i am nervous 🤤
I love the "gone older day when one could be a true expert on all of physics"
"gone are the days...
physics is a really hard subject to learn. Keep at it
Its not if u love it
Hey, maths-physics major? So am I :)
I'm a little baffled at your interest in experimental physics. Most of my fellow math-physicists, myself included, chose that because we preferred the theoretical aspect. Personally, I never understood an experiment until I was writing the report, and even then... I wasn't as good towards the end of my B.Sc. though and I didn't have the motivation to be better. I just wasn't feeling like sitting down to read and understand every single sheet in my notebooks, so I knew I didn't want to go any further in the field (the master's is pretty hard, they say). I'm currently finishing the first semester of a master's degree in information science, so I still have no idea what to do with my life :D
I enjoyed taking theoretical and mathematical courses during my undergrad but I found theoretical research to be totally different. I wasn't as motivated to master equations just for the sake of understanding them and I found experimental physics research to be much more exciting. Funnily enough I hadn't really enjoyed the lab courses I had done during undergraduate so you don't really know what kind of research you will like until you try it. I haven't planned things much in my studies, I just do what I enjoy what what feels right at each stage. I enjoyed math courses so majored in it, but found a cool experimental research project so just went down that road instead.
Hi!
I'm planning on doing both majors as well, but I'm not sure if I'll need it for much. Did you get anything out of it, except for more knowledge? Because if I'm only getting that, I'm not sure if I want to write a thesis in both fields, unless if it's a really valuable situation to have been through. I could always take extra exams just for fun (as I am doing now).
Also, I'm starting my second year at university after this summer. I'm planning to take the courses (almost equivalent to) thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, statistical methods and intro to complex analysis. I have done all relevant courses leading to these topics. I'm also debating between "classical mechanics" and "linear methods" (in lack of a better name. The main aspects are linear and metric spaces, completeness, Banach spaces, Picard's theorem, inner product spaces, Hilbert spaces, orthogonal sequences and approximations, linear functionals, dual space, and Riesz' representation theorem). I'm having a hard time choosing between the two.
I think both will be too much for one semester (at least for me), and was wondering if you have any valuable information you want to share in regards to what to pick. If I'm not taking my double major, I'm pretty sure I'll take a major in physics. I think the course I'll get the most of afterwords is classical mechanics, but linear methods seems much more fun.
Hope you have any relevant information, but I understand if you don't have or don't want to share. I also know that this stuff is subjektive and that it's my decision at the end of the day.
Sorry for bad english.
Anders Andersen That's weird. My classical mechanics course was during the first semester and only 50% of people succeeded (mostly because it's the first university course ever, so you don't have to worry). We also had an optional second course in the last semester. Anyway, if it's indeed your first classical mechanics course, I think you should take it. The _linear methods_ course you talk about seems pretty advanced. It looks fun, but maybe there's a reason it's a graduate course at my university. And about the major, I did it for fun, so I can't really help you there; sorry. And your English is very good. Although mine is far from perfect, so what do I know... Good luck! :D
Yes, I'm taking it one year in advance, to take more courses the third year. Yes, it's my first classical mechanics course (but I've had "regular" mechanical physics already). And indeed, the linear methods course is advanced (described by older students as the course they meet their "intellectual asymptote"), but the math needed isn't more than I've had after one year. The difficulty is appealing, for me, at least.
But thanks for replying! Appreciate it!
Anders Andersen Something I thought was a shame was that we only met the classical Hamiltonian in our last semester, whereas the quantum Hamiltonian is almost omnipresent in quantum physics courses (we had two quantum mechanics course as maths-physics majors). At least in our first classical mechanics course we worked a lot with the Lagrangian, which is also very popular in other courses like special and general relativity. That's why I think the classical mechanics course is necessary pretty early on. And it's actually a more difficult course than quantum mechanics, relativity and electromagnetism. So getting an A+ in that course would be a decent intellectual challenge, if that's your kind of thing.
Can I learn physics while I learn maths? I'm really interested in physics but my math knowledge is up till algebra 1 iv done geometry hightschool geometry with no algebra in it an of not done trigometry yet.
Amythest Gemini I have little knowledge of calculus and trig, but im done with my algebra. As far as I know, calculus will be used more than trig, so learn trig then calculus, everything will make more sense.
Please tell me difference between bs & ms in physics or bsc and msc in physics
Nice video.
if you want a simple life in physics then make a modal simulations
I'm about to start at a University to work toward a Physics degree. I graduated last Spring with my two year degree, and it should take me three more years to graduate with my Physics degree, I think I'm planning to go onto graduate school to earn a PhD. I read here that you completed a double major in Math and Physics. Do you think that the extra effort you put in to get the Math degree was worth it? I'm wondering if simply getting a Physics degree will be enough. Did knowing all that higher level math in the formal setting of a classroom make a big difference?
I took an extra paper most semesters to get the math major but only did it because I wanted to take those extra papers out of interest - It was kind of accidental that I ended up with a math major as well. It hasn't had much impact on what i'm doing now in terms of credentials but did introduce me to a few interesting ideas.
Wow well done it's my goal to do a degree in physics
+Potato Spuds Best of luck!
That guy at 2:45 is from mit
ok im am 16 years old and im currently in high school thinking about pursuing a physics deegre. but i have a problem. to me physics is an absolute joy and breath taking, but im quite average at it. i mean i have quite ok grades (in my country our grades are from 1 to 5. 5 is the highest) i have a 4 in physics(sometimes i even get a 3) an 4-5 in mathematics and im am afraid i am not smart enough (in physics and mathematics)tomstudy physics.
i any1 has any opinion please let me know.
sorry for the long post
Hi, thanks for the comment. Your question is actually a very common concern and something that a few other people have asked me. Please do not stress too much about your grades in high school or compare yourself to others who pursue physics and maths. You are only 16 and you should do at each step along your path what you think aligns with your interests and passion, don't be afraid to let your interests change and don't be afraid of a challenge. My physics grades in high school were probably the worst out of all my subjects (i did much better in english and geography) but that does not matter to me at all now - and such is the case with many of my friends. You don't need to have perfect grades to pursue a physics degree you just need an interest that can last 3-4 years. All of the smartest people I know doubt themselves at times. Instead of spending mental energy worrying about if you are good enough, spend that time learning and enjoying the things that interest you. I think I will make a video on this topic to further answer the question but I hope that helps.
Thank you so much for the answer. Now i will definitly take physics college as a serious option.
Domnevam, da si iz Slovenije po imenu haha xD. Ne se sekirat pa ne se bat matematke; izven šole se lahko marsikej tut naučiš pa tut 2 leti je še velik cajta. Te pa čist štekam, čeprov sm meu zmer dobre ocene, mam tu sam zlo viskoe ambicije, ampak nikol nism biu tok dobr, da bi lahk tok uspeu, amapk mislm da lahko, vsak lahko z dovolj truda :). Prvo kot prvo: preber avtobiografijo Richarda Feynmana Surely You are Joking Mr Feynman, ki ti da ogromn vpogled v svetin bistvo življenja. Iz te knjige vidš, da je najpomembnejša radovednost, ena redkejših lastnosti človeka danes. Če rabš še kej kr praš :)
If you didnt understand shit: I was thinking that you might be from Slovenia because of the name and the grading system xd. Like she said dont worry and dont be afraid of math plus you have 2 years i guess until university and you can learn so much until then. I myself have some huge ambiitons and I did have good grades but still was never winning the competitions or anything, but i do think that everyone can do it with enough effort put into it. First of all read Richard Feynman's autobiography Surely You Are Joking Mr Feynman as it shows you the amazing life of a physicist who was never a genius but just worked hard. This book will show you that what matters most is curiosity, a rare thing among humans these days really(Rarely is it as intense as with Feynman and other physicists). If you need anything just ask :)
Most physicists and engineers actually get an average of C's because the higher math and physics is really hard and it doesn't make sense till the next step up in class. like Derivatives are hard till you do integrals, etc etc. Basically A students will not be getting A's as easily as you used to.
Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard
I'm doing my btech degree now, after the completion of my bachelors, can I do masters degree in physics, please reply
hi!
right now, im torn between double majoring in physics and maths or just doing physics..
if i choose to only study physics i can probably get to a top uni but if i chose to double major i will probably go in a less demanding uni.
which of the two would you recommend based on your experience?
thanks in advance and also thanks for the videos
+kotzzz9 If physics is what you want to do then I would just go with physics. The physics degree will include plenty of math content anyway, it's not necessary to do extra. This will really depend on which uni you go to but for me the math that was needed to do the physics courses was compulsory for the physics major anyway. The additional math courses that I took for the math major were just for interest and because I could do so without affecting my studies very much.
Tibees ok thanks a lot!
also,thank you for the quick reply
+kotzzz9 no worries. I would add to just pursue what you enjoy at each step along the way and don't be afraid of changing what it is that you enjoy. Many people end up graduating in different fields than what they started in because of a changing interest through exposure to new ideas.
Im on the fence on a Math or a Physics degree.
What is difference btw 3 year and 4 year physics degree
Do you know how a gyroscope work now or you still don't
You need enough mathematics to get physics degree. Physics in nothing but math with a story..
Hi, I am in the senior year of my high school. Physics has been my favourite subject since my junior classes. But I am from a middle-class family in a poor country Nepal where I can't study physics. When I become old(30 years) I have to earn for my entire family living in the US as I can't get any placement to work in my country. So by taking computer science, I can easily settle anywhere as I have always been talented in my studies but I have heard bad things about earnings by taking the physic major. So please answer me because it will be the most important decision of my life. Can I settle well or in a modest way if I do good in physics after PhD with my family?
Thanks for the comment. I don't feel terribly confident influencing you to make "the most important decision of your life", especially since what you have asked is such a subjective question. Some people will do well financially regardless of what they study, I think it depends more on what you engage with outside of your studies, who you know, and a bit of luck. There is plenty of coding involved in the computational side of physics, and studying that would give you data analysis skills relevant to many companies. Likewise, If you computer science you don't have to give up your interest in physics, there are plenty of applications where computer science is advancing physics research. If you think computer science is a safer choice for you then do it and keep up your physics study as a personal interest that you might combine with your eventual work. I have zero experience with the education system in the US or Nepal since I am in Australia so you will have to trust yourself more than you trust me. Perhaps some other commenters here will be able to help you. Best wishes
Thank u so much sister for your advice but I am unclear in one thing. Do physics major earn just enough to sustain their family in for example, Australia only after 1-2 years of PHD if they do well? And what if they do excellent?
thank u #jayvone severin ...
There are more jobs in computer science and it is in much higher demand. Your chances of making a high salary is greater in computer science.
Does chemistry come in to play when you're talking about subatomic subjects?
+Raitis There is a bit of chemistry involved in condensed matter physics, looking at how atoms pack together in different arrangements and form different phases of solids. Lots of crossovers between chemistry and physics - mathematical ideas like group theory apply to both fields
I admire physics students because I tried a course and couldn't wrap my head around it. 😅
Hey Nadine, I think your science is just as complex, love your videos btw!
Tibees I love yours!

+Kevin Stitely yep haha I was at UC. How are you finding UoA?
hi, I am doing my bachelor degree in mechanical engineering and for masters I'm interested in thermal, and I am interested in astrophysics too.so which masters should I choose that include both of these. I love learning maths.so which masters is better?
There are certainly research areas that combine thermal physics and astro. Look into nuclear astrophysics explaining stellar dynamics.
i am 18 in intermediate college
i have a feeling i should pursue physics instead of IT as i initially planned. but i dont think there is any real scope for physics in Pakistan .(my country). but these things change fast. i think i am good enough in maths also in physics. i love toying around equations and learned alot of special relatively from online courses. i find physics genuinely intersting. any advice.
very confused
I don't know anything about education in Pakistan so I feel it is impossible for me to give advice. Personally I would only study the subject that I love but I am lucky enough to be able to do that
What is your advice for somebody who wants to develop a good understanding of physics, but who doesn't want to do a degree? What resources exist for self-study? Is such a thing possible or practical or is it really necessary to study physics formally in an academic environment?
There are a lot of physics lectures on youtube which are a good source of information. But the problem is that a good understanding will only develop if you do problem sheets. So you should at least get a textbook with problems or try to find some problem sheets of universities online.
Thank you.
physics is tough. publishing papers in CS is much easier than publishing in physics.rotational dynamics is very confusing. my god it is much tougher than modern physics.
Are there any non-physics and non-mathematics courses that are required for a degree? Such as chemistry, history of physics, history of other natural sciences, etc?
+david plotnik This will depend on what uni you attend, I didn't have to take any courses outside of physics and math. My only exceptions were computer science and psychology which I chose to take. I would have liked to take more general courses but didn't have many free options since I did the double major.
Hi, I am physics undergraduate 1st year. I want to be physcist but currently thinking to switch major into engineering because many say I can't get any job with physics degree.

How many people here study for a physics degree but struggled in high school math? this analytical geometry involving circles inside hyperbolas and 3d trigonometry or whatever makes me feel I'll never be good at math, yet alone university level math :/ just wanted to know if I'm on the same boat as the rest of physics degree students, since I'm wishing to be one, I'm not talented at all in math and it's depressing I have to put so much effort and I'm still not good enough.
Am I the only one feeling this or is this something normal everyone feel?
Spaskiba i used to be terrible in high school maths until i got a tutor
+Spaskiba My confidence in maths went up and down depending on my lecturer. I definitely was not the most 'naturally talented' at math and sometimes felt behind. However I realised that a lot of my cohort actually felt the same way, and in general we just picked up the math as it was needed and tried not to worry too much. Please don't let your confidence in math hold you back!
This is like a perfect ASMR video
I'm a 10th grade student know, I wish all of you a good luck, to me as well xD
50to90years?
tbh i like it
😅 I am terrible at math so no physics for me. Sounds like an amazing major though .
+bcuzof neymar Think about why you believe you are 'terrible' at math. No one is born knowing math, it is something that all of us have to learn. If you can appreciate physics then I'm sure you can tackle maths too!
@@tibees I disagree, don't just think about it. Practice math and understand it. Also from what I can tell you don't have deep interest in those subjects like some people. You should know your own limitations near the end of high school.
Can you make a video on how to be a truly successful physicist like einstein?
And can you tell us what does a mathematical equation means to you? Do you view physics in terms of equations explaining whats going on or something that has a deeper meaning to you?
I'd say, to be a paradigm-shifting world leading physicist, you need love physics and the universe enormously! For example, Einstein's hands started sweating and his heart beat very fast when he learned about light behaving like a wave/particle. this was when he was 16 years old, just think about the moments most 16 year olds get sweaty palms and a racing heart, and you'll realise its not when they learn about the universe...
If youre the type of person to do physics for fun, or to cheer you up when youre feeling up, and its the most important thing to you, you'll no doubt go very far! That genuine love and passion for physics must obviously be combined with a great intellect, like einsteins. But im certain, intellect is not the key factor when it comes to being a great physicist (what i mean by that is, that being "just smart" is i think sufficient). Another very important factor in einsteins success was his persistence. He never gave up. When he figured out his special theory of relativity was insufficient in describing the universes behaviour he spent the following 10 years working on that problem, inventing General relativity.
To summarize: Love what you do, be persistent and well, being smart helps but its not the driving factor!
they were genius and hard workers.
Casey Wood, it's senseless to say that Einstein and Newton just worked hard. Everyone has a natural difficulty of learning. Going to school will show you this. Some classmates struggle even studying for an hour or so while others study for ten minutes and they are done. There's an unfair thing called genetics, and also you can't decide the place where you grow up. Some places introduce kids to academic concepts earlier and they have an advantage. So after all it's genetics plus social position plus effort. Weights are yet to be discovered, but genetics has definetely a weight greater than zero.
Yeah like how to EXACTLY UNDERSTAND PHYSICS
Yeah like how to EXACTLY UNDERSTAND PHYSICS
If I want to study physics, should I expect coding to be really important?
I think so. You need to be able to use an analytical or numerical program (like matlab or mathematica) to solve physics problems during everyday assignments. Then bigger projects will require come coding knowledge (e.g python) to automate tasks or manipulate research data
Thank you muchly!
I actually just made a new video inspired by your comment here, check it out if you want to hear more about the topic :)
I'm starting physics and maths in a couple of weeks. I'm nervous bc I'm afraid I won't like it 😅
How did it go?
Great! I was a little bit lost during the first week but I am enjoying it a lot now
Diego how about now?
Daniel I love maths. Physics is so enjoyable. I've passed all the tests I've had so far so I'm really happy
How about now?
classes also shrink over the years until you're down to as much as 10 or less people in a class lol at least in my experience it went down that far since as a senior (4th year) I decided to take Materials Physics 1 and 2 (a 1st year grad course that was open to 4th year undergrads)
I wouldn't mind if Siri had your voice
What are you now doing after you finished your degree?
+BudokaiGamer I'm doing an honours year, which is a pathway between a bachelors and a PhD (I'm in the Australian system). I spend my days doing experimental physics research
relativity and drunken are similar
relativity relationship between light speed and drunken are related with alcohol😈😈😈
Speed 1.5x
Physically psyched psychedllicly physicistic
How old are you? Because I think you knows more than a secondary school student😆😆😆😆
I onow someone who to go to if you want a physics Degree. She is a youtuber and her youtube name is phyics girl. Your Welcome
why man turned out to be a bad man instead of good man because we know that minus side are going lesser as we going on and on😱😱
Your voice is very sooting anyway I want to ask a lot of questions how do I contact you?
it is cool that a girl promotes sciences :) hello from France
Cute cation 😁😂
Please , who are you ?
i is me
is this an ASMR video?
R there any mathematicians in ur family?also do u believe there is a heaven and hell(like Einstein did)?
See this video I made about being first in my family to go to uni ua-cam.com/video/rIPfH_tnNKc/v-deo.html
I don't believe there is heaven or hell
Hah
hahaha
if you followed me then i will provide endless motion, energy, electricity forever for everyone for millions of trillions of uncountable years for every second round the year at anywhere in universe🕛🕡🕟🕤🕤🕟🕠🕤🕓🕠🕘🕓💫💫💫✴✴⏳⏳☀📈📈🔭🔭✌✌💃🙏🙋
Is this fuck8ng hermione
This is super negatively biased
