Chemistry and engineering

Atreides

I'm doing first year engineering and chemistry is a requirement, I'm pretty certain I'm going to fail chemistry. I'm bright enough to know it's really easy, but i just can figure out a way to study it and learn and understand it. I think its because eveything is letters instead of words or numbers, anybody else have this problem.

hmm chemistry comes easily enough to me well easier then physics anyway, i don't have a dead set way of studying it, a good while before exams i usually read over the notes and do any excerises that the lectures have give out problem sheets tutorials etc. then i lash into the exam papers and stuff to lay the smackdown on em. not sure if you did chemistry for the leaving cert but if you didn't get your hands on a rapid revision chemistry get yourselves the basics.

if your in dublin i've no real bother giving up an hour or so a week if ya want grinds or something

good luck

I'm in dublin, and basically I haven't ever done chemistry before, how usefull would grinds be? and How much would they cost me.

Woden

well coz i'm such a nice guy i'd give em for free i don't know how useful they would be and i've never given grinds before but i'm alrite with chemistry so give it a lash for a few weeks and then get rid of ya if it gets too hectic with my finals and stuff, sunday night/day is probably my best day to do it though not sure if this suits

Atreides

Fair enough where and what time, keep in mind I know nothing about chemistry

Unfortunately that's the story for nearly every engineering-related subject. Everything an engineer does comes back to maths eventually.
