Learning QM 1: Introduction

This is hopefully a first in a series where I teach myself Quantum Mechanics. I am taking a class at a local university, but am allowed to only go there for exams.

This is a way to keep me honest and continually making progress in terms of understanding.

As for putting the videos on You Tube, perhaps people can benefit from seeing Quantum Mechanics presented by a student struggling to learn it, rather than by someone who is already an expert. I don't know. I'll appreciate constructive feedback.

@Godfuther My brain works very wierdly the hard math stuff is easy and the easy math stuff is hard its messed up but yea, its gonna be a long and boring school year...

@Godfuther Improving math skills comes from deliberate practice. You need to know what you want to improve on, specifically, and focus on that. What parts of math do you struggle with?

@ygoloebut Thanks man I'm great with Physics understanding it but alright on math I take all the advanced math programs and such do you know any tricks on being better at math?

[ygoloebut]

@Godfuther Get into a good university and study physics and astronomy. Do real well in the program. Make sure you can solve physics and math problems quickly. You will need that ability on the GREs. After you finish undergrad, get into a good PhD program in Astrophysics. Then you will be in a position to find research jobs in Astrophysics.

@ygoloebut Nice, I'm becoming an astrophysicist do you know what I would have to do? I'm grade 11 also...

[ygoloebut]

@Godfuther I am about to start my PhD in Biophysics.

[Godfuther]

@ygoloebut Good shit what you trying to be?



[ygoloebut]

@Godfuther Not only did I pass, but I got 100%s on them.

[Godfuther]
