We're all organic chemistry.

Every seen a Physical Chemistry textbook?

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!

~~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?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

Oh, could you give an example?

[–] PunnyName 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

No educate.

Only understand.

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

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

I am a Millennial Prize Problem.

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