Becoming a scientist is expensive, have you seen the price of this books lol. i can't imagen a chemistry set.

@RodrickSage

The chemistry set is probably cheaper than the book. They used to sell chemistry sets for children to play with that were not advertised as for college students and which thus had a much lower price than a new edition of a Chemistry book for only a single college class that is only for 1 semester before the new edition begins. It is probably not safe for most children these days to play with chemistry sets but that is how they were advertised

@RodrickSage

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

@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.
