    Hi,

    I'm a 'mature' student and I finally decided to look into some mathematics and physics that I always found fascinating but never studied in detail.

    Can someone recommend a book/website about physics, like an introduction? I did physics at school many many years ago, forgot most of it.

    Thanks.

    What sort of level do you want to work to? Are you looking for general knowledge, or do you want a qualification from it all?

    If you want the latter, have a look at text books. I have always been quite happy with the CGP books which cover everything from GCSE to A2 A-levels. Antonine-Education online is another good resource to look at.

    Hi, I'm interested in general knowledge at the moment, I'm currently doing a BSc in a non-related subject. But I like textbooks so I will look at the CGP books.

    Thank you.
