Every seen a Physical Chemistry textbook?

~~I seriously doubt that bio+chem is worse than quantum physics+chem~~

Actually, now that I'm thinking about it, I'm starting to realize that chem majors would be more familiar with quantum physics than biology. So I'm gonna take that back

Was a bio major. But I like math/physics more than bio. Granted, I covered the quantum stuff in biophysics and an inorganic chem-like class and I only had to take the thermo part of pchem.

Ever seen an (insert any math field) textbook?

[–] ThisIsAManWhoKnowsHowToGling@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I feel like math classes are harder to get through than it is to actually learn the math itself

[–] someacnt@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

Oh, could you give an example?

[–] ryedaft@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago

Came to the comments to say this.

I have way too many textbooks that I will never open again and that I won't get rid off. One day I realised I still had a phys chem book - out out out demon!

Well maybe o-chem needs to be better at educating people about itself.

[–] Aurenkin@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No educate.

Only understand.

Now sit down... in this "chair".

[–] curiousaur@reddthat.com 7 points 2 months ago

We're all organic chemistry.

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 months ago

"pfft, I don't need to learn biology before taking chemistry!"

--teenage me being wrong

[–] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 6 points 2 months ago

Studying for an o-chem final rn. It's so true... ;-;

[–] Krill@feddit.uk 4 points 2 months ago

Stop giving me flashbacks.

I am a Millennial Prize Problem.

Just without the prize, and reverse the order of the remaining two words.

This must ring true on an individual basis because O Chem is literally my favorite subject in all sciences alongside bio.

Stick me in General fucking Chemistry and I am lucky to be in the last quartile of the class. Anything physics related and I might as well be at a grade school level. And I’m a engineer, a dumbass one at that.
