How to Study Physics Like a Pro

we’ve all been there, looking at a physics text book and thinking: “wtf is going on here???”. so here is a simple and intuitive guide on how to understand and apply this subject.

needless to say, first of all understand the theory

seek the general theory behind the topic that you’re studying - this will give you a main equation which the others are all related to

you need to know at least the basics of math, like calculus and algebra. focus on solving equations

all the theories of a particular topic are connected - seek the similarities and connections

memorize the main equations and extract the others from them - this will save you memory and time

visualize the phenomena in your head

if you still have doubts, ask. ask your teacher to explain it

prepare yourself in advance

don’t procrastinate!

pay attention in class and take notes

revise, revise and revise.

exercise, exercise and exercise

at this point it’s all about practice - more often than not when you understand to solve a kind of problem you can solve all the problems of that kind

seriously, practice makes perfect

breathe and stay focused 

problem solving

read the question and analyze it

pick all the useful information and write it down

draw the phenomena

take a step by step approach

what needs to be solved?

how are the phenomena related?

fit the data in the most appropriate equation

does the solution make sense?

done!

if you have time at the end of the test check carefully if you’ve done any  mistake

this could be helpful

check youtube classes like khanacademy

they also have a website

podcasts are useful too

how to solve any physics problem

make flashcards to memorize important equations and definitions

How a Black Man From Missouri Transformed Himself Into the Indian Liberace

In a town where everyone reinvents themselves, Korla Pandit's transformation—from African American to Indian—stands out. A new film, Korla, recalls his legacy.

Before Liberace, there was Korla Pandit. He was a pianist from New Delhi, India, and dazzled national audiences in the 1950s with his unique keyboard skills and exotic compositions on the Hammond B3 organ. He appeared on Los Angeles local television in 900 episodes of his show, “Korla Pandit’s Adventures in Music”, smartly dressed in a suit and tie or silk brocade Nerhu jacket and cloaked in a turban adorned with a single shimmering jewel. The mysterious, spiritual Indian man with a hypnotic gaze and sly grin was transfixing.

Offstage, Korla—known as the “Godfather of Exotica“— was living the American dream: he had a house in the Hollywood hills, a beautiful blonde wife, two kids, and a social circle that included Errol Flynn and Bob Hope. He even had his own floral-decorated organ float in the Rose Bowl parade in 1953.

Like most everything in Hollywood, it was all smoke and mirrors. His charade wasn’t his stage name—it was his race. Korla Pandit, born John Roland Redd, was a light skinned black man from St. Louis, Missouri. It was a secret he kept until the day he died…

As legend has it, Korla was a child prodigy born in New Delhi to a Brahmin priest and a French opera singer. When he was 11, Korla was sent away to England and then to America for classical training at the University of Chicago.

Pandit’s invented life closely mirrored his real one. John Roland Redd was one of seven children born into a musical family. His spirituality can be traced to his father, a Baptist minister. His mother was of Creole ancestry. Most importantly, his talent was real. Relatives interviewed recall that, at age three, John could learn a song once and have it memorized….

Americans fascinated with the east eagerly accepted this charming figure and his mystical interpretations due to their minimal knowledge of the Indian culture and customs—by and large, Americans were only exposed to swami stereotypes in TV and film. Which is probably why nobody disputed his fantastic story, although he was notably uncomfortable when Indian fans asked to meet him after his gigs. “He wasn’t the first person to pass as a white man in order to get ahead, he just passed as an Indian man wearing a turban,” a childhood friend remarks in the film. (Christiansen: “In hindsight, he said he was Hindu but Hindus don’t wear turbans. Sikhs do, but they don’t wear jewels on their turban.”)

I honestly think Desi street style in the U.S. is just now starting to emerge and really come into its own. Growing up, every South Asian person I knew was, understandably, more concerned with assimilating and not with representing their culture. I think there’s been a collective resurgence of pride in my generation when it comes to our culture and heritage, and it’s been amazing to watch so many of my peers embrace it on such a broad spectrum. Our generation’s parents see cultural appropriation as acceptance, while for us, it’s thievery. It’s really strange growing up and being told that your culture is ugly, being so ashamed of it, and then, for a fleeting moment, feeling sort of excited and proud when it starts to become a fashion statement by your oppressors. But then you very quickly realize that it’s actually incredibly fucking insulting. Like, as much as part of me wants to be able to share my culture with others, the other part of me can’t and won’t.

'PAY' is about the “Indian peasantry, the largest surviving body of small farmers in the world, is currently facing an epidemic of suicide. For thousands of years farmers have depended on the earth to sustain their families. Now, in the twenty-first century, their livelihood, prosperity, and the well-being of their families for generations to come are being threatened by globalization and the shift in the linkage of agriculture from the Earth to a few profit-driven multinational corporations.”
