I’m just finishing up an intro to physics course for university this semester. I self taught math last year. So I was expecting the hardest part to be the math itself. But actually the hardest part was similar to the start of “what else is there to say”. Understanding that formulas are written with different symbols depending on who is writing them and how they are feeling that day.
Like, why can (s) represent:
Seconds
Time itself
Distance
Displacement
Probably a few other things I’m forgetting
The hand rules for magnetic fields all called different things by different people. What!?
Still not finished reading this post. But I’m really enjoying it so far. Hope to see you at LessOnline!
