马大 UM / Re: [Question]Regarding UM Physics

« 于: 七月 08, 2012, 09:29:51 下午 »

Yea I am pretty sure that I'm going to get Physics according to past year stats on quansheng. I have 4.0 and 80+ co-curricular marks so I'm pretty confident.

Actually this thread is pretty irrelevant already because just yesterday I got the news that I won a scholarship for me to study at UCL. I've got offers from several UK unis already including Imperial College London, UCL, Edinburgh and some other unis already so actually now the UPU results don't really matter.

And now I'm actually more worried about my prior preparation since competition at top unis are more stiff. I really want to get a 1st and not put the scholarship to waste. I'd really appreciate if any current students can advise me on the books they are using in their 1st year. Now I'm doing some preparation with Fundamentals of Physics by Halliday, Resnick, Walker and also the Young/Freedman book. What books do you all use for mathematical methods?

Thank you for your reply! This forum is kinda dead..

马大 UM / [Question]Regarding UM Physics

So I applied for Physics and I'd like prep myself before the course starts. Do they have like reading lists/book recommendations for incoming students? If there isn't can any current students over there doing Physics recommend me some books that I can start with? I don't want to suffer on my 1st year. Is the learning curve for 1st year students very steep or is there a gentler learning curve? I have so many questions unanswered and these are only a few that I can think off the top of my head. Trying to get contacts of Physics seniors currently enrolled in public unis but to no avail, so I posted on here. I have so much to ask..

Cheers.
