Alright, everyone! After receiving multiple requests, I’m sharing the curriculum I once designed for my little nephew.
First, let me emphasize this: no one can truly teach you physics—you can only learn it yourself. Teachers and tutorials can provide an outline of the topics, but the real learning happens when you actively engage with physics by solving problems and applying concepts.
To excel in physics, you must first build a solid foundation in mathematics, as every aspect of physics is rooted in math. For instance, understanding Maxwell's equations requires fluency in calculus. Taking derivatives, integrating, and solving differential equations should feel as natural to you as breathing, even if someone wakes you in the middle of the night.
Astrophysics, in particular, is no easy field. It covers areas like astronomy, black holes, celestial mechanics, cosmology, and stellar physics. To navigate such topics, you need a strong command of both physics and math. Below is a step-by-step guide to the courses I recommend, with each step serving as a prerequisite for the next:
1. Algebra
2. Trigonometry
3. Basic Geometry
4. Precalculus (including complex numbers)
5. Linear Algebra (essential for understanding differential equations, which dominate physics and scientific processes)
6. Single-Variable Calculus
7. Multivariable Calculus
8. Complex Analysis
9. Vector Analysis
10. Ordinary Differential Equations (most natural phenomena can be described using these)
11. Partial Differential Equations
12. General Chemistry
13. Mathematical Physics (topics like integral equations, Hilbert spaces, Green’s functions, group theory, tensors, manifolds, calculus of variations, fiber bundles, and differential geometry and topology, which are especially relevant in astrophysics)
14. General Physics (Fundamentals of Physics by Halliday & Resnick)
15. Modern Physics (Modern Physics by Tipler & Llewellyn)
Once you’ve mastered these, you can move into astrophysics:
16. Astronomy
18. Plasma Physics
19. Magnetohydrodynamics
20. Cosmology
21. Stellar Astrophysics
22. High-Energy Astrophysics
23. Celestial Mechanics
24. Advanced Astrophysics Topics
The first 15 courses are essential before diving into astrophysics. Without a solid background, it’s nearly impossible to tackle college-level subjects like high-energy astrophysics.
I’m not trying to discourage anyone—far from it! My goal is to guide and support aspiring physicists like you. This curriculum represents, in my opinion, the bare minimum preparation needed for astrophysics.
If you’re ever stuck or need clarification, feel free to ask questions here. After mastering the fundamentals, you can explore specific branches of physics that captivate your interest.
Good luck on your journey!

I believe this roadmap is not a very strict one whatsoever.
Back in the days, i first did 1, 2, 3, 4 and finally 14. Its after I did those that I began pursuing calculus (single and multivariable) and linear algebra.
That's the most efficient and fast way to complete doing the fields listed on roadmap.
Im not saying steps in between 4 and 14 can be jumped over, im rather saying they can wait.
Plus, though general chemistry is foundational for some parts of stellar astrophysics, its omittable at the moment.
That's a little recommendation i'd like to add.

Hey guys I've previously posted a similar message on here, and I've also mentioned that I have books on many other fields - mainly engineering and science - all books I've read in 15 years. I've finally arranged them properly for you, as promised before.
