Welcome to my page for random knowledge and (unofficial) textbook solutions. I will be using this page for my own personal explanations of various
physics and mathematics problems I will encounter during my time as a physics major at SUNY Geneseo, though I also may use it to document course
content in a lecture-like structure for reference purposes. I will mostly be doing this as a means of giving myself extra review to better
understand the problems and concepts myself, as well as potentially helping other people who encounter this page. If you are having trouble with
anything, you spot an error, or you just want to request a new problem or textbook for me to answer, feel free to e-mail me (or contact me in person,
if you found this page because you're at Geneseo yourself), and I will do my best to elaborate on those concepts.
Personal notes
The Sciences
Physics - Mechanics
Often called "Physics I" in high schools and universities, though some schools leave out fluid mechanics in their courses, often pushing it back into
a later course.
Physics - Thermodynamics
Often included in late-stage physics courses, such as "Physics III" classes in some universities. It's a bit separate from the other topics, because although
it features some applications of fluid mechanics, most of the subjects here are fairly stand-alone (albeit rather chemistry-dependent). Textbooks
often include it between mechanics and electromagnetism, but it's really not a prerequisite for the latter.
Physics - Electricity & Magnetism (E&M)
Often called "Physics II" in high schools and universities, though I've heard of some universities excluding Maxwell's equations and electromagnetic
waves, leaving such advanced topics for later courses.
