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
