HOW TO
SUCCEED IN PHYSICS – PART 1
1.
Build a Strong Foundation of Basic Concepts and Terminologies
Understanding
physics begins with a solid foundation of basic concepts and terminologies,
especially when starting with introductory physics. Akin to learning a new
language, mastering the "vocabulary" of physics — the basic physics
concepts — is essential. This includes understanding key principles such as
Newton's Laws, the law of conservation of energy, and the concept of entropy,
to name a few.
2.
Brush up on your math
Sometimes
the root of your physics problems—as was the case with me—lies in rusty or even
non-existent math skills. And, unfortunately, the further you advance in
physics the more you'll encounter mathematical processes you thought you'd long
since left behind you. (Yeah, I'm talking about you, algebra, trigonometry, and
calculus.)
3.
Have a List of Basic Physics Equations as a Resource
In
physics, equations are the tools that translate the language of natural
phenomena into quantifiable terms. Having a quick reference sheet of these
equations helps you prepare for any problem that may come up in your physics
class or an exam.
4.
Think conceptually
Whether you’re searching for a unified field theory or studying the basic dynamics of force and motion, taking a conceptual approach to learning physics can help you break down your problem into a series of basic steps. Focus on the fundamentals, but keep the big picture in the back of your mind. Bringing together concepts into a unified understanding of the problem at hand makes finding a solution much easier.
