I know this topic has been spoken many times in this forum, but I don't understand it totally. How can I photoread my physics textbook? I've photoreaded novels and History textbooks successfully, but I can't do the same with Physics and "logic" subjects. I think I haven't a clear purpose, because I think "I want to structure this content in my head, so, I'll have the formulas and I'll can relate it". But I don't know if it's a purpose or a goal. Maybe my purpose had to be "I have to understand this electricity content and relate it". Well, I've tried some purposes like those and I don't know what's worng. In History, I thought "I have to order this features in my mind" and I was ordering all things like a mindmap: first general, then details. But it doesn't works me in Physics.

Furthermore, what about Maths? How can I remember to solve integrals which I need in Physics? I'm and Physics independent student and this things are more dificults because I have not a teacher.

Thanks for your time helping me!
Carles!

PS: This forum has helped me to understand the point of photoreading. I've been trying this for 2 years and I finally got it 3 weeks ago. So, thanks for your time and explanations!

Nope that's not what I would call a purpose.

Why do you want to have the formulas? How will you be using them. In what settings. Identify those reasons you'll have a purpose, build your curiosity and a way of knowing when you've done enough activation. You'll know that you can use the formulas as intended.

Also see the PhotoReading book 4th edition page 24.
