Hi guys,
I'm currently going into my 3rd year of Chemistry. Due to the course my life has taken, when I did my A-levels I had no idea that theoretical chemistry/physics would be an area I would like to pursue.
I didn't take an A-level in Mathematics, but am currently working through A-level type calculus, differentiation, integration, differential equations. Will also be covering complex numbers, matrices and vectors.
The advice I would like is in relation to my PhD... Do you think somebody with my background could excel and pursue theoretical chemistry as a career? I'm a good student, have won a number of academic awards throughout the Chemistry degree, I'm just concerned that my lack of mathematical training will hinder me. I'm trying to power through as many topics as possible, but I am still worried that I won't be able to have my desired career in Chemical Physics.
Any responses appreciated,
PT
