Physics Universities in Canada: Specifics

[^__^]

Hi, do you know which edition of Spivak's Calculus in MAT157? (I don't want to buy one now and one next year)

The latest, 4th edition I believe. Amazon.com may have some better deals from the used market.

The 4th edition is new (used for the first time this year) so you don't have to worry about them switching the textbook on you.

I can't seem to find it. (Its not on amazon.) Can I get a link?

Is Fundamentals of Physics Extended, 8th Edition for CDN $154.95 good deal?

To the OP: I would take anyone's answer with a grain of salt. Students can only speak of their own program, and are often keen on vindicating their own choice of school by defending and promoting it. For geographical reasons, I suggest go somewhere near, UBC or UoA would be good choices.

Can you switch from U of T Scarborough or Mississauga to U of T St. George in second year? Can you take the same courses? Are you challenged as much? The profs are the same from what I hear and the degree is the same. I got in for physics and am also interested in the math courses you are talking about.

Wish I'd found this post back in October of last year, would have saved me the trouble of figuring it all out on my own :P

Have any of you decided on a joint specialist MAT/PHY @ UofT? I'd appreciate the company.

Sweet deal.

Did you get your hands on a copy of Spivak's calculus? I've worked through the first bit of it and I have to say, it's pretty intense. Definitely worth it.

Lol I haven't got it yet. I went to UofT SG book store but they didn't have it and UofTSar. Bookstore was closed. Where did you get it?

Actually I went to the bookstore and I didn't see it there :S My girlfriend ended up getting it for me as a birthday present <3 (She spoils me). She bought it off amazon I think.
