- What things do you need to know before taking physics? Here is my list:
- Units
- Scientific notation
- Graphs
- 2 equations with 2 unknowns
- Trig
Thanks for posting this! This summer semester is my final semester before I graduate, and I haven't done some math's in a yearish, so this really helps!
Thank you for this video. Due to the nature of educational system, I was unable to study Physics in HS sadly. I borrowed my friends Physics textbooks to teach myself, and your videos help tremendously.
Ur a legend
Thank you, as an adult career changer taking prep classes to undertake further studies in physics this is really helpful
Glad it's helpful!
Thanks for this video, I'm a 2nd year physics undergrad and really struggling and failing all my classes, I had already planned to study all that but with schoolwork and stuff I end up postponing it... but this summary reallyyyy helped so much!! I have a question though, could we call the whole units thing you explained "dimensional analysis"? This is what my professors call that process you explained but I'm not sure it's the same thing? Also, I've never seen scientific notation being explained this way, this is really cool, and your explanation of the equations with 2 unknows is sooo good, helped me tons
on a side note I just wanna point out how your free drawing is so clean and straight??? haha its really impressive
anyways thankss a lot (:
Yes, the unit thing is also called dimensional analysis - well, that's actually when you show the units on one side of an equation are the same as the other side.
I'm glad you found the video useful.
What are the math prerequisites for algebra-based physics?
Of course it depends on the university - but it's usually some type of algebra as long as it includes trig.
Is starting university physics as a junior in high school good?
As long as it’s algebra based and you have a decent amount of algebra and trig under your belt. The unit circle wasn’t covered in my algebra/geometry classes in high school, so if it wasn’t in yours too, I’d suggest familiarizing yourself with it as it’ll help a little. My high school physics class was university level intro to physics and it was calculus based. I hadn’t taken any calculus, but the calculus in that class was pretty basic and I was able to learn it on my own. Though it did hurt a little once the class got into electricity and magnetism.
If the class is calculus based and you’re up for some extra studying for the first few weeks, learn the basic concepts of derivatives and integrals, how to do basic derivatives and integrals, and then learn derivative rules (product rule, quotient rule, chain rule, derivative of trig functions). Once you’ve done that, learn the integral counterparts to those rules. This should be more than enough for any high school uni level calculus based physics course.
