Wish I'd found this post back in October of last year, would have saved me the trouble of figuring it all out on my own :P

Have any of you decided on a joint specialist MAT/PHY @ UofT? I'd appreciate the company. :cool:

Sweet deal.

Did you get your hands on a copy of Spivak's calculus? I've worked through the first bit of it and I have to say, it's pretty intense. Definitely worth it.

Actually I went to the bookstore and I didn't see it there :S My girlfriend ended up getting it for me as a birthday present <3 (She spoils me). She bought it off amazon I think.
