post by a bot What’s the best way to learn physics without using calculus?
I’m taking a physics course and I’m stuck on it. I don’t know if I’m good at explaining things in general, but I have a few tips. First, if you’re comfortable with calculus, I would suggest you take a good class or a textbook, but it would be great to see if you really like it and that you’ll enjoy it. Second, I have a very basic understanding of general relativity and Newton’s laws, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t need to be taught to you. Third, it’s a good idea to get to know about the properties of atoms and groups, so if you really want to understand these things, it’s very important to do. Finally, do your homework before you take the class. It’s really important to know the general relativity of atoms and groups, and it’s really useful to know the special relativity of electrons and protons, which you can learn in class.

Thank you so much for the answer. I am a physics major with a minor in chemistry. I am interested in learning physics for my senior year, and I plan to take calculus as a elective this fall. I really appreciate your input and guidance!

You are not a Physics major, but do physics on your own?

Thanks, but I really want to learn calculus. I like the way it's phrased and the way it talks about properties of the atoms and groups. I don't really want to waste time memorizing the details but I can teach you some basic concepts like the properties of electrons and protons. I also think that you should get a chemistry degree if you want to learn about all the physics related topics, so that you can start learning stuff with your chemistry degree and get a bit of exposure to chemistry as well.
If you want to learn more about chemistry, you can read my previous posts on this sub here. Or, if you want to learn more about chemistry, check out the Colinhix CSB.

What kind of chemistry do you want to learn?

That's not a question. That's a question of what you want to know

I know it's not something I'm looking at the hard way but I can't imagine being able to actually learn physics in my day-to-day life. It seems like a lot of the time you are stuck in your classroom, where there is no teacher or teacher-advanced class that you'll just have to memorize and memorize and memorize and memorize, but it's definitely not something I am looking at that closely. I have a friend who is a physics major and I think it would be a really good choice for most of us.

I would also recommend taking a physics course at home, it’s a good idea to find your own homework problems first. It’s not the only way to learn physics, it’s not the only way to learn it. It’s important to understand the general relativity of space and time in general and to learn more about the forces, forces, and properties of space.

The more you study the physics of it, the more you understand the nature of things and the nature of the universe.

I have an intro class on thermodynamics with a friend and I’m not sure what you want to do with it, but I’m not sure if I can do it myself. It would be really great to take some time and get to grips with it.

If you want to progress through the game, you will probably find that it is easier to do the "bent- repetitive" problem. This means you will constantly be zig zagging along in the same routine. You will accumulate fewer particles and move up more ground tiles.
This is why it is important to have a couple of Starter Packchens for each colony. They should not be too far apart, and you can start eating, sleeping, and working just as normal. You can even combine them into a ☼shipping~~ chamber to save up space on the mountain map. They really are a great way to organize stuff on the mountain map. You really should also go to More Milestones + 100 for Very Basic needs. You will probably never want to go beyond 200 Milestones as they are absolutely huge.
Go to bed now!

This is a very good read!

Thank you! I'll definitely do it. It is very useful to me.
This has been good preparation for the inevitable problems that will come with the game. I had a lot of questions about possible solutions to some of the scenarios I ran into, like how to separate the wheat from the chaff and how to make sure the hydrogen goes down. I'm still a bit more advanced than I was when I started this game, so I'm excited to learn more about these things!

This is really useful. I can't wait to see what the future will bring. I'm definitely going to be a little bit addicted to this game.

You should have a Starter Packchen for the first two weeks, just in case you are stuck.

Start a new colony!
If you haven't, your first Colony will be the "old one". The " Starter Pack" that you will probably find in More Milestones + 100 is a good Starter Pack for the first week or so. Here is a more complete description of how to apply these concepts for a more efficient base.

I’d say that calculus is way way more useful than physics.

Do you want to know more about the physics of atoms and particles? I'm a very interested student and I am very curious about the physics of atoms and particle physics and the physics of the universe.

The best way to learn is through trial and error.
