    Courses What are the best A-Level options for someone wanting to do Physics?

    Another idea is to watch a video of someone doing a past paper in each of them, do get an idea for what you'll actually be learning and what you'll actually be expected to do on the exam.

    Are you a senior? Do you like proofs in mathematics? UofT has https://artsci.calendar.utoronto.ca/program/asspe0397 You should check out the Euclid, CEMC, CAP high school prize exam. What's your background in math and physics?

    My Grade 11 Math mark is eating me alive. What do I do?

    At the top schools, maybe, but in general this group is smaller than the group of physics bachelor's students. A PhD in non-theoretical astrophysics/astronomy is not so mathematically intensive that only students who get all As all the time in math can even think about aiming for one. E.g.

    Courses What are the best A-Level options for someone wanting to do Physics?

    I don't think any of them will be particularly helpful other than giving you some basic exposure and thus allowing you to see how much you like or don't like the subject for potential future study, although I would choose DT or geography over economics in particular because economics isn't even...

    How can we teach students the difference between sequences and series?

    I think the previous idea of emphasizing or at least covering examples of sequences where addition makes no sense, like sequences of points on a sphere, is a great idea.

    Other Which branch of engineering is more physics heavy?

    Engineering professors often do research that is somewhat physics-y. That might be a potential route.

    Applied Math PhD candidate but I hate group theory

    Not really, no. At least I don't think that has anything to do with the operations on sets you see in group theory.
