    UofT for Physics Is it really that bad?

    I'm not going to U of T right now, but I'm very very sure that the top student in the program still has a 3.9-4.0 GPA (won't disclose exact number for privacy), although not a lot of people survive in the physics specialist & other related programs for the whole 4 years. To give you an...

    Organic Chemistry Textbook Recommendation for Math Student

    Get Clayden, as a beginner's supplement but NOT a beginner's introduction. McMurry is another clone out of the bunch.

    Quick calculus for introductory physics

    I'm a high school student planning to self-studying for AP Physics C (introductory calculus-based physics), but so far I've only learned basic differential calculus. What kinds of introductory study guides (read: not textbooks) could quickly give me a working knowledge of the differential and...
