Re: Semester 2 USYD Chatter Thread

When everyone in physics has a pirated pdf copy of the textbook, but you don't.
Haven't brought a single textbook yet :p.

Although University Physics is a pretty decent book I would say.
Alot of the stuff for electromagnetism for PHYS1003/1902 is on Khan except for Guass's Laws e.g. everything after electric fields but you can find that stuff on youtube anyways.

I've heard people say PHYS1902 is like 4U mechanics on steroids or something and others (who didn't do 4U) just shrug it off.

The new USYD website is gross.
I like it, well much better than the old one at least. That looping video is completely unnecessary though.

It's not terrible, I miss the colour though.

The maths department really needs to update its page. It could get by using Arial before, but now with the new background it just looks really tacky.

Re: Semester 2 USYD Chatter Thread

How much maths (also what type) is involved in the chemistry major (especially in physical chemistry) is the 12cp of junior maths enough?

I don't think there's that much math involved in chemistry subjects

Re: Semester 2 USYD Chatter Thread

I had no idea we had a new website until you all mentioned it. It's totally rubbish.

Also how is it only week 2 and I'm already behind on my readings? SO MANY READINGS.
My degree is nortorious for readings and here I am still contributing in class with the help of Wikipedia and Google in general - you're fine. [emoji14]

Goals.

I have these ones for nursing that assume a hell of a lot of knowledge on philosophy, anthropology, and sociology. I'm drowning in tabs of Google searches. I do more reading to understand the reading than there is reading in the actual reading.
