Reddit mentions of Matter and Interactions, Volume II: Electric and Magnetic Interactions

I said:

>A list of physics equations does not a physicist make.

You said:

>Of course, I totally agree!

My reaction: GREAT!

Then you said:

>I am looking for all of those laws either in PDF format or On a website where I can copy/paste.

ಠ_ಠ

Having a PDF of all the equations of all of physics wouldn't provide you with any understanding of any of them. You would be just as clueless as you are now, except you would've spent a great deal of effort compiling a PDF filled with equations you don't understand.

You appear to have missed the point of my post:

>Until you are prepared to sit down with a textbook and learn Newton's laws and the glycolysis cycle, you'll never really understand science.

I'm not trying to discourage you, I'm really not, but you have the kind of wide-eyed innocence that leads to just enough knowledge to be dangerous, but not enough to realize how little you understand.

Here is my favorite introductory physics book. In it, you'll learn Newton's laws and how to apply them. I'm also a fan of Volume 2, where you'll learn about electricity and magnetism. I'm not familiar with the newest editions, but I liked the first edition so feel free to pick them up used. Or heck, pirate the PDFs from somewhere.

You'll need a good grasp of calculus for both books, but if you seriously want to teach yourself physics, that is the kind of work that it takes. I don't have any good opinions on whats a good calculus book unfortunately, but I suggest you make it through derivatives and integrals before starting the physics books.

It was two different books 3 years ago for Physics for Engineers and Physics 2 for engineers. It could be a bit different now. Surefire way to tell is to email the Prof, or ask next week.

The Physics 1 book came with a code to do homework online via WebAssign, which was required. I didn't buy the physical book, I just bought the code that came with an e-book from the website. Physics 1 has been the same class for literally over a hundred years, so any text book will work if you're tight on money. Just be sure you can do the homework.

Physics 2 was a different book. The cover was black and green, with a little diagram of a red ball with a grid plane and spirally things around it. My class didn't have online homework. My class was also an experimental structure at the time, I forgot the acronym for it, but our lab and lecture were blended into one session. I'm pretty sure the normal style class used the same books.

Edit: /u/motsu35 remembered the title. This was my Physics 2 book. It looks like there is a part 1 which covers Physics 1, but I'm not sure if it's the book we used, since I never had the physical copy.
