'teach mez science'

What science do you want to learn?

Well, what a specific request, I must say.
For starters, try www.khanacademy.org

This is what this shit was meant for, enjoy OP.

I have that website, one thing that bothers me is that im 20 years old and I already have an AA degree in Psychology (worthless). However, Ive always had a desire to do something with Physics (Engineers are hated around here from what i read) Im barely in Trigonometry, do I have a future?

Desire and ability are two different things. Trigonometry is used quite frequently in calculus...which is frequently used in physics. Pay attention and if you enjoy it, proceed further?

Thank you very much, haha I was actually reading that thread yesterday. Very interesting stuff! =)

I do enjoy it, I currently have the highest grade in the class. However, my brain functions weirdly, i get stuff like Cramer's Rule and matrices and can hold some ground and understand some of the topics in an intro to linear algebra stuff but other stuff comes out really not comprehensible

It's not supposed to make sense. Calculus is the language of physics not trig. Do you really understand all the concepts in calculus?

>> No.2908738

>>2908735
I haven't taken a calculus course yet, I understand what derive means as a term but dont understand the math which is comprehensible since I havent taken Calculus yet.

Start here:

Calc I notes. His are very useful. I just reviewed the 'basics' he listed to gain some insights into limits. I liked his method of explaining both limits and the tangent/secant line problems.
