This is awesome. You can watch MIT lectures. Most of it is super interesting.

Wow amazing.

Oooh, cool.

Good stuff, but don't start with multivariable calculus without an understanding of vectors.

[Cobra951]

Vectors are simple conceptually.  Each has a number value and a direction.  They're typically represented by arrows.  The length of the arrow is the number value, and the direction of the arrow is the vector's direction.  Vectors can be split into component parts along 2 or more axes.  They are indispensable in physics.  I'm sure if you google them, you'll get a lot more than you care to read.

I love physics and math enough that I would absolutely love to major in it. Problem is, I have lots of trouble understanding a lot of those abstract ideas in math. It takes me forever to understand stuff like that completely. I'm just now getting to the point that when I see a polynomial I can visualize a graph. And that has taken me almost two years to get to that point, and even then I still struggle with it.

Blah, I wish I would have gotten into physics when I was younger, like around 12 or so. It would be so cool to work at CERN or Fermilab or something like that. It would be amazing.
