Other What Are the Best Textbooks for Self-Studying HSC Biology and Chemistry?

AI Thread Summary
Studying ahead for Year 11 topics in Biology and Chemistry can provide a significant advantage. It's important to choose the right textbooks that align with the curriculum of the school you will attend. The Excel HSC Biology book is primarily for revision, so it may not be suitable for in-depth study. Researching the specific textbooks used at the future school can help ensure effective preparation. Selecting the right resources will facilitate a smoother transition into Year 11.

So I am in the area in between years 10-11. I am currently on exchange and I have a lot of time so I thought I would study for year 11's topics so that the next few years would be easier. The main subjects I wan't to focus on are Biology and Chemistry. I had bought a book without doing any real research beforehand (excel's HSC Biology) but I found that it was mainly used for revision. I would just like to know what kind of textbook would be ideal for me to use to study for Biology and Chemistry. Thanks

I'd recommend looking up the actual textbooks used at wherever you'll be going for year 11.
 

Thread '"WHAT IS A QUANTUM FIELD THEORY?" A First Introduction for Mathematicians'

The book is fascinating. If your education includes a typical math degree curriculum, with Lebesgue integration, functional analysis, etc, it teaches QFT with only a passing acquaintance of ordinary QM you would get at HS. However, I would read Lenny Susskind's book on QM first. Purchased a copy straight away, but it will not arrive until the end of December; however, Scribd has a PDF I am now studying. The first part introduces distribution theory (and other related concepts), which...

Thread 'Books with a more theoretical approach to turbulence and DNS'

I've gone through the Standard turbulence textbooks such as Pope's Turbulent Flows and Wilcox' Turbulent modelling for CFD which mostly Covers RANS and the closure models. I want to jump more into DNS but most of the work i've been able to come across is too "practical" and not much explanation of the theory behind it. I wonder if there is a book that takes a theoretical approach to Turbulence starting from the full Navier Stokes Equations and developing from there, instead of jumping from...
