Every seen a Physical Chemistry textbook?
Still better than ochem.
~~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?
I feel like math classes are harder to get through than it is to actually learn the math itself
Oh, could you give an example?
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.
No educate.
Only understand.
Now sit down... in this "chair".
We're all organic chemistry.
Studying for an o-chem final rn. It's so true... ;-;
"pfft, I don't need to learn biology before taking chemistry!"
--teenage me being wrong
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.
