<p>Thanks.
- Isn’t physics just about practice too though? How do you know which set of textbooks to use then?</p>
<p>2) I thought that picking up specific introductory texts was better than using halliday/resnick? For example, using kleppner and purcell, instead of using the mechanics/em chapters in halliday/resnick. Like, I don’t see a point in doing everything in halliday/resnick when there are better introductory undergraduate books in every topic. For example, like using shankar for qm. </p>
<p>3) I’m already taking multi/diff in high school at this point, so regarding studying physics, I should spend more time thinking and applying what I’ve learned rather than just reading the text right?</p>
<p>4) And so, understanding the concept is more important reading every single word?</p>
<p>5) Wouldn’t I understand the physics behind everything, unlike the idiot savant, as I read through the text and actually am able to do the problems? </p>
<p>thanks.</p>
