ohh cheers people.. as level science text books yea.. sounds like a plan... will get them... probably try the as level maths too.. im pretty sure im up to that level at least... so it does seem like the best way to go!. liking the documentaries!! CHEERS! online university does sound like a good idea, any online courses that let you study at your own pace? do the courses send you physical material do read, i've never liked reading huge chunks of information from a screen, i do have a kindle now though, which is making things much better, as i do not get the eye strain. also never thought about looking for free university lecture videos!!! sounds awesome to!. anymore books i should check out? currently reading Origins of species which had managed to some how never read!. i have a kindle so am finding a lot of interesting books that are also free... i did get: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Basic-Physics-Self-Teaching-Guide-Guides/dp/0471134473/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1296836951&sr=1-4-spell last week and it is very good!

i know its going to be slow, i said its not for a job of any kind, just general knowledge so speed is does not bother me in the slightest.

Hey people, Im an artist based in England, 26 years old, so its pretty late getting into the whole science education. I am not wanting to go to university, as my art takes me to various countries, and i cant really settle in one place long enough. am unsure how this kind of learning will happen, but hopefully i will get used to it. So now i am looking to get into the reading of the sciences, i cant say i have any math knowledge of course other then logical things, my education in maths finished at 16 when i went to Art college. so i would say im rubbish in everything and need probably to start from a basic level, you could say general science and math... though i do need to learn a lot more about biological processes and anatomy, yup total beginner... shit i know!... but like most things we need to start somewhere, but where thats the problem... i have a great yearning for knowledge... the start kick in the ass is needed!. so the question is what books to start with, lists of great documentaries, interesting essays? how do i begin with the mathematics, i understand this is what i will need if i want to get a great understanding of the physics which is my greater interest. im in it for the long haul, im not doing it for a job of any kind, just all about self interest, so a slow start is cool, i know its going to take many years to get on with. I did try searching online for such a list for the beginner but seemed to not find it... is there even a course laid out for the person that just wants to teach it all to themselves? im currently also learning german, luckily for languages, i know i can go to germany at the end of the year, and do the language learning and still do my job (the art) for a few months, and get the basics in the right way, but i know the sciences will be very different to this. ok cheers any help would be very much appreciated! all the best from Mark
