When I was your age, after mechanics we divided physics into four.
Heat, Light, Sound, Electricity & Magnetism.
Nowadays we would add Particle Physics and Quantum Theory.
Again, after mechanics these could be studied in any order.
Ok, thanks. But isn't electromagnetism required to study quantum mechanics? I assumed quantum mechanics is based on some electromagnetism equations...

Thanks for the answer.
But don't some branches need other branches (not mechanics) to be understood?
Then it would be better to learn some branches first.

I appologise for my poor English, it is not my first language, and also for posting this here, i wasn't sure where to do so.
I'm 15 years old and I love physics so I learned calculus 1, calculus 2 and classical mechanics by myself and I am now learning electricity and magnetism. I do it as a hobbie, for fun, and I want to be a theoreticall physicist one day (being paid to have fun ).
I want to learn relativity and quantum mechanics. So my question is, after i finish with Electricity and Magnetism what order of subjects should I follow untill I reach quantum mechanics? What other physics should I learn before this two topics?
Thank you all and again, I'm sorry for posting this here.0
What next?
in Classical Physics

Thanks for all the answers, I will take them in account.
Just go straight to the mathematical description? I allways like to have an intuitive feeling and a real understanding of what is going on... Is that that hard in quantum mechanics?
