@curious_mind Now you are the room owner.

Ok fine

I added the link of this room there.

So, let me put this question. What advantage does Kinetic theory give that Thermodynamics alone(First and Second law) is not able to provide?

Or any other question or concept you like to discuss, please write :)
In classical mechanics - I think the concept I would like to discuss is anything about Rigid body Dynamics, if you don't mind.

Do you have access to Halliday's?

yes

So, why not starting our work from the first chapters?

ok

Please give me some time.

Ok sure.

yes, I have access to this book in pdf

Is it good to first work on the first four chapters, that is, before the dynamics chapters?
curious_mind
curious_mind
sure. But you said you already worked out this book earlier, so I expected you know mostly all these things.
But still there is a lot in depth things to discuss if you have conceptual questions from these chapters. I already mentioned my choices of topics.

You can mention your preference, and we can discuss interesting things about it.

Yes, I suggested that to warm up. If you think we cannot find any interesting things in these chapters, we can skip them.
curious_mind
curious_mind
No I dont think that there are no interesting things in first four chapters. But currently I have things in my mind which I mentioned. There are things in my mind from first four chapters, but I insist that you point it out first topics from first four chapters.

Or, can we try reviewing them for, say, a day to see whether we can find any interesting points?
curious_mind

Ok fine. Else I will point out a few things tomorrow from first or third chapter.

If we conclude that it needs more time, we can extend its duration. In general, I mean let us first in advance specify topics we want to work on and the time needed to review them and then will come here to discuss them. Agreed?

Btw, if you don't mind, can you tell me are you a high school student, or undergrad/grad student or industry person working in some other field want to self-study physics ? So that I can estimate how to go ahead, only that's why asking. I have no problem whatever your background is, but I appreciate the idea that you want to start from very basic and fundamentals.
agree. So first I suggest to discuss from first four chapters, then Rigid Body Dynamics, then from Kinetic theory and Thermodynamics..

Agree ?

Please do not worry. I have enough background for our collaboration in more serous subjects. However, I think we should master backcourt concepts first.

curious_mind
ok ;)

@curious_mind Why not committing to the content order of the book? Are you in a hurry?
curious_mind

Not at all in a hurry :) .. ok then we shall follow the order of the content. But let me tell you, I will a bit busy for next couple of weeks especially. I can devote max 4/5 hrs per week for our discussion.

But please feel free to put messages anytime. I will also put some things to discuss from first chapter tomorrow, ok ?

I have to go now. Let us confirm our final decision. Topics: Chapters 1-4, Review time: 1 day. Ok? If you want, we can extend the time.
curious_mind
curious_mind
If I need to extend time, I will put msg here. For now, I think it will be okay - 1 day.

Ok. Have a nice day. By the way, we do not need to discuss things only when both are online. We can put our posts here whenever we are online here.
curious_mind
curious_mind
sure.
have a nice day. :)
