Physics Etc: Concept strengthening, for future readers of physics.
Inspiration
Where WiFi, touchscreens, and sattelite transmission come from is through development of observation, analysis, and logic. Leibniz and Newton came after optics and the telescope were invented, because we need something to go on as spark, which is what this site aims to offer those without a book to study (yet). Physics Etc introduces pre-calculus, calculus, and analysis on course to introduce quantum mechanics in some of its forms, with contextual field notes, in pursuit of, “the study of the properties and interactions of space, time, matter, and energy”, as assumed by research literature. Math, its foundations, and formal logic may seem tedious and off-track to the physically-minded, and its study uncovers a daunting collection of definitions and methods, but all of the laws and frameworks employed by physics were and are the product of mathematical work.
Delves into a framework of math en route to surveying trigonometry.
When one doesn't have prior preparation in the arts of science, it doesn't mean we can't do more than nothing—we can do some of it, thanks to neuroplasticity. Thereby making math and physics potentially important on everyone's list of things they look forward to doing, on the Internet, and of course in exercising your right to freely assemble by opening up the textbook from your bookshelf!
I believe that the preparatory-type of mathematical physics articles found here are for people of all ages and aptitudes who have wanted more than the TV's treatment of physics—maybe math too, and got daunted by the rapidly escalating content of the peer-type of physics articles, from Internet searches for the science if one's curiosity is permitted to run, all the better with AI assistance.
About Me
I was almost completely disabled for over a decade, but with an advent of science, I was again enabled.
For roughly the last ten years I have been engaging in self-directed study.
I have come to learn that math isn't that hard, once you get over the sometimes excruciatingly terse,
and always as exhaustive as necessary, text, which sometimes can lose you,
at which point here and there you will have to pause and ruminate, open a keyword search tab,
allowing for errors and omissions to grasp the very ordinary concept for a once definitely subtle configuration.
I am trying to share fruits
of my passion, which are math and physics.
I don't have a doctoral or master's degree, but this is due to a circumstance which is
no longer obstructing me from doing this work, which must be on my own and be based on online research sources,
which include but are not limited to PhysicsToday.org and Arxiv.org.
Featured Articles
The last article I have in the collection aims to impress the visitor with the conclusion that all matter is complex, which is a theme of getting comfortable with complexity. One of my most recent section addtions was using the Riemann Circle, from complex analysis, to explain how a function can be antisymmetric and not go through zero. An earlier one looks closely at the rules of exponentiation.
