Yes I'm majoring in physics, I intend to go up to MS. I already have my grades. I'm actually changing uni and course, and I had to apply late because of this, so my options were limited. Only about half of UK unis offer physics, and I could really only consider 3/4 of those unis(because of my...

I have offers from Queen Mary London, Sussex and Leicester, but I think I'm leaning slightly towards Queen Mary. In terms of intensity, it seems Leicester is the most intense then QM then Sussex, based on the number of modules in each year. Is this something worth taking into account and how...

Well when I did maths, I remember not just covering diff & int but also topics such as vectors, complex numbers, vectors, series, matrics, polar coordinates etc, not just calculus on its own.

What I mean't was, since a calculus is an actual branch of maths will it not be specialised on that topic leaving other topics uncovered?

Is a calculus book not too narrow, or does it go in depth with other topics?

I think I'm going to go for Engineering Mathematics by Stroud; Boas seems to expect a level of calculus which I'd say is too high for where I'm at right now.

Should I use khan academy or just by a textbook to learn and review some pre-uni & 1st year undergrad level mathematics for a physics degree? Which would be more fluid and clearer? Is there questions for khan academy? Is a maths books on mechanics relevant, or will any good physics book teach me...
