Like, using simple two dimensional motion as an example: I can say the coefficient of friction times mass times gravity equals the normal force exerted upon an object in equilibrium, but that's all mumbo jumbo unless you learn what all that is, what it means, and why it's like that. One of my physics teachers had this analogy she would always bring up where she would talk about how it was like reading how to perfectly hit a baseball, then getting to the plate ans striking out, because theory is essentially useless without application.</html>
