The Art of Learning Physics

Here, you will find ideas to help you learn physics as well as enjoy it.

  • Idea 5 – Use your imagination
    I believe that the main difference between reading about physics and reading good fiction is that the work of fiction somehow helps you create a mental image of what is described. The presence of this mental image is what allows subsequent information to land, as the mental image expands and gets refined. Mental images could help when studying physics too.
  • Idea 4 – Rereading lecture notes?
    Do not reread lecture notes. Retrieve them as if you were trying to explain things in a few minutes to a panicking classmate before an exam.
  • Idea 3 – Listen to what formulas are telling you
    Formulas are beautiful relationships between physical things and spending time with them can be a pleasant and deep experience. If you pay attention.
  • Idea 2 – Taking notes
    This article is about taking notes during lectures. Look, I am sure you are doing it very well. After all, this is your life at the moment. I would just like to suggest adding a tool to your note-taking arsenal.
  • Idea 1 – The flow of an exercise
    Having a template for solving physics exercises should allow you to avoid the panicky feeling that comes with the question “Where do I start?”
  • Idea 0 – Discovering a course
    Sitting in a lecture, you may find yourself neither understanding nor retaining anything. Here is an easy way to fight back.
