You still using the macbook?

The irony of watching a short about stopping scrolling ha

I had the 1966 edition for my 1967 freshman year at University of Massachusetts Boston. It was in a converted office building at the time.

Mathematical Methods by K. Riley also has a solution manual.

Do you have any advice for someone who’s going into astrophysics but finds some of the higher level concepts and math a bit intimidating?

The oldest textbook that I have as the original owner is "Thermodynamics, Kinetic Theory and Statistical Thermodynamics" (2nd edition) by Sears & Salinger from Fall 1982. (We've both held up pretty well!)

Stfu physics is more important then you and then me and the whole humanity

Think twice before you start a physics degree when you have ADHD. I went through my study time undiagnosed and I just did not understand why I had such a hard time finishing my Bachelor and Master theses. These two tasks were easily the hardest thing I ever did in my life. You need to be able to sit down, start to do stuff or write down your thoughts, even if your head right now is empty or you do not yet know what comes up next. I reached out for help in general, but there is only so much that others can do. Of course I am not sure if help is more efficient when you are diagnosed. I would recommend to take those meds they give to ADHD patients in this situation, because I doubt that there is anything else that would have helped me. Also, being forced to divide my attention between so many branches of physics took a toll on me. I was told that sometimes you need to accept your ignorance to move on. However, to see through the mist of technicalities in books and lectures you must not be blind to the bigger picture. I was though, and I am afraid I still am. I just barely survived test after test. My grades deteriorated each year, because I could not really make use of what I learned prior. I did not see any order in it. I just wanted to become a highly specialized expert at something with a spiky skill set. The problem is that you can get there only two ways: Either you bring the passion for your highly specialized interest already with you when you start to study physics. Or you need to be capable to follow multiple branches of physics at once and BE PASSIONATE about them, until you are ready to settle down on something. Otherwise your ADHD will quickly turn every course into a seemingly pointless struggle. I still got a high paying job today, so nothing of this was actually pointless. Even if it was just the degree that got me here and nothing else. But if I could go back in time I would actually choose my university based on how much I could learn about thin film deposition with plasma and do certain things differently, to keep up the motivation. Oh, and I would get those meds asap.

Ive seen some physics jobs increasing, though. But this wont likely surprise all physics majors, since theyve all seen increasing investments in Nuclear engineering(for fission AND fusion) and Theoretical nuclear physics, as well as the related astrophyiscs jobs that Spacex, Blue Origin, etc, would need. A physics graduate frim my first school got a job as a Quant, which seems to be the case for many Math, Physics, or Dtatistics majors. They naturally would also want Computer Science grads for quants. Finally, it does seem as though the UK usually or ALWAYS requires a masters before entering the OHD? As you know, this is the case for a few schools in the US, but not the majority, since most will let you begin with a Bachelors.

Going to university is not about partying! It is a time of extreme learning. Study what you love and what you have a passion for. This is what will get you through the process and get you ready for the world. Physics teaches you how to think for yourself. So if you are interested in understanding physical sciences, including engineering, study physics.

Wonderful video. I'm 3rd year student of physics. Physics is my passion. I'm always enjoying it. Follow your passion.

hey i am a highschool senior from india i cant decide between engineering (mechatronics or mechanical) or physics. i need suggestions from a person who is inthat field

Thanks for sharing your insights. As an A Level student considering studying chemistry with physics, this was useful 😀.

This September, I am going to the UK for MSc Astrophysics.. can you make a video about job growth, career options, and bright and dark sides of astrophysics. I think information from expert will assist me in deciding how I can grow efficiently in Astrophysics

Great informative video! 👍

How can i Contact with you?

Pure mathematics, is in its way, the poetry of logical ideas. ❤

Amazing video! I knew Physics was a flexible choice, but your vídeo really really helped me to broad my understanding of all the career prospects that come with it, and now I'm pretty much 100% sure I'm gonna do a Physics degree. Thanks, I wish you lots of success :)

Will start my first year in Computer science from september Really helpful advice most vidoes are focused on how to build a schedule, studies etc but this tiny tips are often ignored which may have huge impact later on

thank you video

So inspiring and motivating!

very simple tips, but really helpful

Great video, it matches my experience. My career path has been: BS physics -> MS applied physics -> materials science at a national lab -> dropped out of an applied physics PhD -> finance (first as an accountant then as an actuary).

thank you so much. I really enjoy listening to your videos to get encouraged.

Now after years ur second degree are you going to be doing pud or a job

Gracias ❤

As a stupid 17 year old who's doing A/Ls in math/physics stream and studies astrophysics as a hobby, while being a python programmer who's interested in data analytics it's LOVELY to see how all of my skills combine together in a single field!

Glad that you took my advice for the background of the thumbnail! Thanks for the video, keep going ^^

Great advice, I just gonna watch one more youtube short 😂

Same issue i faced for a long time. Like everytime I start reading, I get sleepy. Reading with writing helps me but I don't feel its practical, as it kind of aligns with studying I fell. Thanks for the tips.

Not that you’re doing a bad job at it, but I just realized while watching the video that you’re not always really looking at the camera. Looking at the camera would like you know make it more personal, just some feedback cause I don’t know I just noticed it. And potentially you don’t even realize it.

This is SO helpful Lewis, thanks for this insight!

Thank you so much for this video, Lewis! ✨

So Valuable Content. Thank You.👍

thank you so much for these informations, but isn't so hard to find a productive students?

Absolute legend, loved the video.

Habit 1: Don't fall behind. 1:20 Habit 2: Spend time productively 3:02 Habit 3: Be surrounded by greatness 4:40 Habit 4: Be proactive: 6:30 Habit 5: Study deeply: 9:14 Habit 6: Learn to study 11:55 Habit 7: Embrace Ignorance 14:40 Love your videos by the way! ❤❤

If I do my undergraduate degree in electrical engineering, is it possible to switch to astrophysics during my master's? Thanks for the great video, Lewis!

Someone help me here if i did a physics degree and went into engineering why not just do an engineering degree? Also what are the pay rates in the uk for any purely physic related jobs I.e. researcher or astronomer

While I think this method is fine if you are new-ish to a fieldll, I myself like to start with the methodology, so I can judge its quality without knowing if the results fit my bias beforehand. I think a lot of us need to become more critical when looking at research, as there's a lot of flawed methodology out there. It's important to note that I am viewing this through the lens of medical sciences, I don't know if it is as big of a deal with Physics.

Wait aren't u an astrophysicist that means u should study abut stars and galxies r8 ? Then why engineering?

Hey brother is it like uw ant to be an astrophysicist in nasa. Or like how they get job for studying about galaxies and stars?. I mean where which company or where they work can u tell plz😊

What about materal engineering?

Brilliant video ! This really change my perspective (positively) abt getting a degree in physics 😀

FIRST

Loved the video. Starting at UCL in September, can’t wait! 🎉

THANKS YOU HELPED ME A LOT BRO

Why don't you leave your work items at work? I started doing that recently and has made my commute much more enjoyable because I no longer have to carry around so much junk that I barely use.

I didn't realize that most of your work was done on your laptop, but for some reason I did anticipate you to have a ton of notebooks! HAHAHA! + I was shocked to see how your calculator is still working despite having it around for more than 5-6 years 😮

The pencil is so underated
