Also if you take college chemistry classes in the U.S.A. I would guess you probably do not have to buy a chemistry set because they have all the equipment in the classroom for most undergraduate level courses except possibly if a research project is required to graduate.

But taking college classes in a field of science does not make you a scientist

Using the scientific method makes you a scientist and college tries to undermine the scientific method in favor of politics

@shortstories with you just telling me about the scientific method, you open another doors to me.

@RodrickSage

Also you can get free math, statistics, chemistry and physics books online and in public libraries

All you have to do is follow the instructions and do the problems then check if you got the right answer in the back of the book

Do not start with the advanced books but work your way up

For example do a physics mechanics textbooks without calculus then a physics electro-magnetics textbook without calculus

Do not start with astronomy without electricity & mechanics first

@RodrickSage

You will need to know trigonometry and algebra before you are ready for physics but some physics textbooks might teach you the trigonometry you need

For Chemistry you only need algebra

But you will not understand chemistry as well unless you start with physics first

Just find books that were used for beginner level courses at Universities in the past and get them for free at public libraries

@RodrickSage

People who are not science majors sometimes take astronomy for science credit but any astronomy course that does not require mechanics or electromagnetics first is not a real science course and just something to make non-science majors think they know science so they can be propagandized easier because they do not teach you how to actually do physics calculations

@shortstories @RodrickSage astronomy niggers who say astrology isnt real. do the planets not orbit the sun does the moon not orbit the earth,. of course astrology is real you dipshits

@RodrickSage

Astronomy courses that non science majors tend to take do things like make claims like "scientists did calculations to prove the big bang based on data" then they do not show calculations

So you want to study algebra and trigonometry textbooks you can get for free in the library then find a free book for a physics mechanics course without calculus in the library as your starting place

@shortstories math my old enemy.

@RodrickSage
Look how serious about becoming a scientist are you?

There are plenty of scientists that do not like math but practice it anyway because they need to use it to make and test models in science experiments

Being able to deny oneself and study math & apply it to engineering and science is what made western societies technologically superior to primitive societies where people did not put in the effort to learn math

Women and blacks tend to not do math as much because most are lazy

@shortstories

so, my first lesson are Trigonometry and Algebra, if i am even to think of any branch.

@RodrickSage

On account of you saying, "math my old enemy"

You might want to start before alegbra and work your way up to algebra

It will make you more comfortable so algebra will be less bad if you get good at adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing numbers in your head without a calculator

Like maybe practice mental math and then work on algebra after you are comfortable with basic mental math.

I really can not tell because I do not know how good at math you are.

@RodrickSage

Chemistry does not require trigonometry but physics does

Plenty of people take chemistry without physics in the beginning because the math is easier or for other reasons

But I think it is better to start with physics which requires trigonometry which is more difficult than algebra for most people

Physics and Chemistry are the foundations of all other real sciences

But physics is more foundational than chemistry so I think it is better to start with physics first

@RodrickSage
If you learn trigonometry in a high school or university they will usually require you to take algebra & geometry before trigonometry

But I completed up to vector calculus and a lot of physics classes

and I never needed any geometry for anything in any science or math class I ever took

You can just skip straight from algebra to trigonometry without studying geometry if you are learning on your own

You can get CLEP calculus college credits without college classes & skip geometry

@RodrickSage

I did not see a CLEP trigonometry

So I would suggest studying CLEP algebra and then CLEP precalculus

There also is a CLEP Calculus course you can complete after precalculus

The precalculus course includes trigonometry

Here is a 100% free Alison course to study for the CLEP algebra exam

Here is a 100% free Alison course to study for the CLEP pre-calculus exam

Certificate is free but costs money for extra confirmation features

@shortstories @RodrickSage pre-calc is just college algebra with functions
