I know this thread is a bit old, but I just remembered it there now. At the university that I'm at, the undergraduate theoretical physics degree is considered more of a maths degree, I think. I'm on the applied maths and physics pathway (at the minute), which is similar to the theoretical...

I'd say that maybe the TP undergrad courses are basically just physics, but it gives students the chance to do some cool maths, if they're confident enough in maths.

Queen's University Belfast also offer undergrad Theoretical Physics. I'm starting Applied Maths and Physics at QUB next month, which is similar - (almost) identical for the first two years - and I might switch to the TP pathway. At QUB, if you do straight physics, you don't get to do any...

As I've said, I'm not sure about particular books - I just looked things up online, looked at solutions to problems and figured out my own way of understanding things. I was going to do some classical mechanics over the summer, but then I thought I'd be covering the stuff at university in...

Just keep on that them. Show them that you're up to scratch. Maybe even do a past paper to show them, then sit the higher tier maths paper when exam season comes around. Don't stop pestering your school until they give in.

I started university last year, and I found living away from home very dull, although living at home is dull in a different way. But that's because I didn't really have any friend. However, I was glad to get away from home.

I don't know much at all about relevant books, or undergrad pure maths (although I'm starting applied maths and physics next month, which involves two pure maths modules - numbers, sets and sequences; and linear algebra and analysis), but it's cool to see I wasn't the only 15 year old teaching...
