for physics majors: from first year physics to graduate school and beyond

So, you’ve decided to pursue a lifelong interest in the sciences or perhaps even change careers to become a scientist and you don’t know where to start? Or, perhaps you’re a parent whose child has displayed some interest in pursuing physics and is wondering where to start. This book will help teach you how to get started in studying physics. It explains some of the pre-requisites you’ll need even if you start from a non-science background, and it describes some of the classes and knowledge you’ll need to master if you decide to major in physics. Finally, it describes a little bit about a typical physics graduate school experience.
