freshman in college here, bio major I-I think Im in love with

Make sure you actually love science, not pictures of clouds on Facebook.

You might love chemistry now, but wait until it gets math heavy. Math you havent trained for.

None of us here love science, we just enjoy it.

Popsci. One electron universe? No fucking way. It defies the laws of thermodynamics.

What kind of math is involved with which kind of chemistry? Not hating, I just didn't know chemistry involved higher level math.

lol you guys are weird

At least science only abuses me when I deserve it.

Thermodynamics and Organic Chemistry. Mostly algebra and simple integrals, but you have to remember so many equations and ways to manipulate the integrals that it becomes a real challenge. I mean real challenge. Calculus 2 was easier for me to pass than Chemistry 2 or thermo 1.

>>8433671
I'm not looking forward to taking Thermodynamics. I've gotten a general view of it from an algebra-based physics course and I still don't completely understand it.

>>8433665
at least one course in quantum mechanics is standard in chemistry

>>8433671
Orgo is not math intensive

>>8433695
I know, thermo is math heavy.

We'll see how much you like it when you get to org Chem, the most autistic of the physical sciences

stay delusional, brainletto

I got As in all 3 quarters, I just hated it. Reactions and synthesis were neat but mechanisms were just trash. Taking biochem now, it's harder but I enjoy it a lot more

>>8433799
>all
>3
>quarters
Am i missing something? Shouldnt there be 4 quarters?

Currently doing a degree in pharmaceutical science, wishing with each day I chose chemistry instead.

Reaction mechanism in O-chem are killing me dude. I understand the mechanisms themselves, but I just can't figure out what mechanisms to use for a problem.

Just gotta revise each and every electrophile that you've used in your examples

It is.

Have a nanotech infographic. I got a hardon for MatSci after doing 3 years of biochem, and now I'm trying to do graduate work in nanotech systems.

Biggest problem with orgo imo is memorizing

people who say Organic is all memorization are just bio-shitters crying

>>8433799
>Biochem
>Hard
Gonna have to disagree with ya there brotato chip. Gotta be the easiest senior level course I've had so far, but god damn it's a pile of rote memorization.

>>8433897
Exactly, the mechanisms ruined the class for me despite reactions/synth being cool. Biochem is great because there is no memorization bullshit

t. 4th Microbiology major

We are advised not to memorize in our biochem classes, and it doesn't really help. The class is very practical based, our last midterm was mostly calculating pI of peptides, tandem MS graph analysis and gel analysis

>>8433935
I am mad jelly. My prof is very much a fan of pandering to biofags. His questions were oriented towards things involving biological structure and relating them to medical issues. 80% of the class LOVE that way of teaching it, because they are all a bunch of premed faggots.

>>8433938
We have two biochem series, one for bio majors and one for Chem

I'm in the bio, they advise against memorizing
