The best way to choose your major.

Unfortunately, the learning experience for most STEM majors in college is either neutral or negative—especially given the amount of assigned homework, labs, and assignments to fulfill. It’s moments like these which select for people who are genuinely excited and enthusiastic vs. those who are barely surviving.

The best predictor to determine whether you’re enthusiastic and happy in your major is whether you start googling random facts or reading your textbook for fun outside of homework and exam prep because it indicates that you’re seeking to fill the gaps in your knowledge.

And if you want to succeed in your major with minimal anxiety or stress—whether it’s STEM or something different—you should study topics you’re passionate about at an intrinsic, deep level.

So go on and do it! And don’t be afraid to use a few of my resources to help you along your academic journey.

Coming Soon: How to Understand Physics as a Science!

Because physics is the most fundamental science, its laws can be described using highly accurate and highly specific mathematical equations that map cleanly onto reality. However, most people struggle in introductory physics courses because it’s laws—such as Newton’s second law and conservation of momentum—are introduced as equations to solve problems before being properly understood and read as statements about nature.

And because most physics curriculums emphasize problem-solving before intuition, that leaves most students—even the best ones—unsure about what they’re calculating.

That’s why I’m building a guide which focuses on teaching physics intuitively as a science so that students can understand how to read equations as statements of nature and graph them so that they understand what to do when they run into a new practice problem.

Once you understand the science, you’ll never have to memorize a problem set again!

Version 1 Coming Soon!

The hardest part about math isn’t the raw calculations: it’s understanding what the math means when rearranging and graphing functions. Most students aren’t trained to interpret the math from a qualitative perspective which is why many students who are ‘good at math’ struggle in introductory chemistry, physics, and engineering courses.

That’s why I’ve created the Ultimate Algebra Guide for Science & Engineering Majors which covers all of the relevant concepts from algebra, trigonometry, and precalculus courses that are applicable for science & engineering majors condensed into a 700+ page guide!
