Theoretical Mechanics*
Thread Content
Theoretical mechanics is so difficult. I hadn’t come into contact with it in college. It’s very difficult to learn now. Although the basic exam only covers the basics, a lot of things are forgotten as soon as the book is closed. Gentle experts, please help think of a solution.
It’s okay; it doesn’t seem that difficult. Anyway, I can understand it and solve the problems.
For theoretical mechanics, that’s all I can say. Hehe, I can’t do it either; I’ll give up right away
Sacrifice some minor things to protect the main goal; focus more on the other aspects, especially the professional foundations
May I ask, have you mastered advanced mathematics and calculus? If so, theoretical mechanics won’t be that difficult. There are two options: one is, as mentioned above, to give up and try to guess in the exam, aiming to score as many points as possible in the subjects you’re good at. Secondly, thoroughly master advanced mathematics to build a solid foundation; most of the content related to theoretical mechanics is covered in college physics. Are you proficient in college physics? It’s necessary to strengthen and consolidate the foundation; basic exams test fundamental knowledge only, and there is no requirement to master very advanced concepts (think about it – aren’t university exams the same? If one is required to master everything thoroughly and be able to use it skillfully, with exams assessing high school knowledge in the same way as the college entrance exam, how many such exams could one pass? ) Similarly, in theoretical mechanics, when reviewing complex problems, emphasis is placed on basic questions (what are basic questions? It’s a good idea to take a look at past exam papers, as the key topics tend to remain relatively constant. You can skip the more difficult parts such as Coriolis acceleration; if you don’t understand D’Alembert’s theorem, you can also ignore it, as questions involving this knowledge are quite rare in the exams. By the way, I used the second method back then, and I also achieved a high score in theoretical mechanics.
Thank you, I’ll give it a try. I’m fine with advanced mathematics, but I haven’t studied theoretical mechanics.
