Math self-teaching

depends highly on what you want to do, you can always look up the math program for the first year of university

Well, I want to learn math that I could use in science, like physics, and stuff like that.

vector calculus and linear algebra are two good choices

Well, since you have completed Pre-Calculus, the next step is obvious -- Calculus.

what exactly IS linear algebra. How does it compare to vanilla agebra? I've heard it mentioned here numerous times but have never heard of it elsewhere.

I already learned calculus, although not formally at school...vector calculus seems interesting.

Vector calculus involves Linear Algebra (well, differentiation of vector valued functions does anyway).
Start learning about linear algebra by looking into "Vector Spaces".

Is there any resource/book that would have more information on this topic?

HELP SOMEONE PLEASE!

The forum won't let me start a new topic. Maybe someone can help me. I'm taking Physics at LSU. My text book came with no disk, so I have no solutions to any problems in my book. I know there are a few websites that I could use without having to buy the stupid disk or pay any stupid internet fees. I'm having a hard time in this course, it's geared directly towards engineering majors. These solutions would help me out alot since I have a crappy Professor. The text is "Fundamentals of Physics" 6th Edition by Halliday & Resnick.


I would appreciate some help. thanks.

Post-Calculus, what should I do?

Look up. Look to the right. See the "New Thread" button? Click it once. Then ask your question in your own thread, asking it in somebody elses is disrespectful and distracting.

And please be careful about quadruple posting, it's obnoxious to everyone here.

What is this quantum physics? Is that helpful?
