Just gonna say that physics isn’t a high school requirement in some states and the dumbing down of America is a real thing. Sad really. I taught high school physics, you wouldn’t believe what the juniors didn’t know about the basic laws of motion. Quite depressing.
I did two classes in college, and my high school didn't even teach it at all, besides our school being the top in the state for academics. Public Education needs an extreme overhaul, but charter schools and homeschooling are the way to go anyway
I took a high school review math class as a pre req for the pre req for the math class i actually needed (bullshit ik), and it was literally alll stuff I’ve never heard of. Most of the young people right out of hs in the class had the same problem, but not the older people. Needless to say i did not finish college that shit is pure garbage
I didn't either. I took the highest level classes (physics, calculus, discrete math, etc) offered besides major classes that I could and got out. I wanted to do robotics and work medical shit but I'm so glad I didn't go into it now
Sounds similar to what I did, except I studied neurosciences my first time at university. Oh the things that I’m not allowed to talk about……
I do wire surgery on aircraft now and it’s far more satisfying (even if it’s physically painful) than pretending to like the literal satanists who run the neurosci field was.
Interesting! So do you have any recommendations for those who want to polish up on their physics knowledge (or just learn it in the first place?) A book, youtube channel, documentary, whatever? Thanks.
Paul Hewitt’s Conceptual Physics is an easy read, mainly talks about concepts. The math is algebra and focuses on relationships between variables. But the concepts are the main point. There are several editions, but all are excellent.

I agree on all points.

Math and Cheese is an old resource. There's actually one about mirrors in 7C lesson 4, lol. It had more on there in the past
I take it that's a youtube resource. I'll check it out. Thank you.
I think gobby by was asking me, I received a message alert.
I was. I didn't see the now deleted post, so not sure what that was about - but I was asking you, BooniesRedneck.

Thank you.
You’re welcome.
