Dear /sci/,

I am a /lit/ browser looking for some essential reading material relating to math and science. I figure since I will be attending a University in a month I should familiarize myself with some...ahem.."practical" reading that is beneficial in my studies.

Pic related its what I've spent the last month or so reading

TLDR: What are the best books on Calculus, Chemistry(Organic and General), Physics, Biology, etc.

Not all of us can be part of your "autistic master race" that can derive complex equations in remarkable fashion. Get over yourself.

Difficulty comprehending English is a cornerstone of autism. I assume you're a "/sp/artan" or whatever, who stumbled on this board by accident, as I expect anyone who has any knowledge of health and medicine whatsoever to know that.

Autism is psychology. It's not "health and medicine." It's not even clear if autism has a real medical basis as a disease.

And I didn't just stumble here. i'm in uni, electrical engineering, gaylord.

Right now I'm in "On the Origins of Species" and I would suggest you that. It's really interesting.

Origin* sorry

Psychology is a division of health and medicine. Aren't people like you supposed to be really particular about this type of thing?
