Aight /sci/, brainlet here with a tarded question, how to study physics on your own with Feynman's lectures on physics? What are good supplementary materials - excercises, books, videos, etc. And what math books go well alongside (and before diving in) these books. Kindly, assume 40 IQ, physics knowledge that boils to basic 2D kinematics and math knowledge of a 4th grader idiot(basic trigonometry is the most advanced shit I've had to work with).

Feynman's lectures is pop-sci.
Read Landau instead.

if you have no physics under your belt I sincerely do not reccomend Feynman

Why?

>> No.11087828

>>11087819
Because Feynman is not going to explain shit. He assumes the reader already knows undergrad physics.

Yeah, I don't think it's at your level.

Please no bully.
But his explanations are so fucking good. I have already read a couple of chapters from the first book and this is literally the only physics book I could ever follow through consistently. Everything else I've tried is just so dry and assumes that there is a teacher there who is going to explain shit in-depth.

If you like it then keep reading. But my prediction is that it will stop making any sense and you will be left thinking "...okay but why?"

MIT open courseware exists use that

His explanations are a good supplement to a standard text, like Halliday and Resnick or Sears and Zemansky. They aren't made for the learned
