just some of my favorite textbooks i've used in high schoolーa thread

"ATOMS FIRST" by burdge & overby

- barj/oberbi talaga ba???
- a gen chem textbook
- honestly, the most powerful chem book ive ever read
- has nice diagrams!! and working examples (THE BEST!!)
- one of the reasons why i fell in love w chem

Prentice Hall's "ALGEBRA"

- a fucking savior (bcos i suck at math lmao)
- is in cute size but weighs a lot (tangina ang dense parang si ??)
- quite boring to some bcos it lacks diagrams and colorful pictures (its a math book, whatd u expect?!!)
- highlights important formulas!!

"BIOlOGY" by miller&levine

- omg the famous "macaw parrot" book *twet tweet*
- perfect for u if ur childish asf!! (or an artsy fartsy one)
- very comprehensible (i feel like this shouldve been a grade schoolers book lol)
- thicc and heavy (just like every other genbio book)

McDougal's "WORLD HISTORY"

- fuck evrything else. the best STORY BOOK ive ever read
- makes u wanna go back in time and just live peacefully in ancient greek
- lists important keywords and concepts!
- con: its too "fiction-y" and highlights more the bright side of the past

Bluman's "ELEMENTARY STATISTICS"

- plain&boring
- interesting only bcos it shows u the chances of getting a royal flush yadah yadah
- has tons of stat formulas that seem gibberish (and some of them really were)
- has Z AND T TABLES at the back!!
- ew. why is this even here

Silberberg's "CHEMISTRY"

- AN ATOMS FIRST RIPOFF smh
- only better bcos it teaches kinetics and thermochem more extensively
- has a lot of challenging practice problems (perfect for exams ayee)
- buy atoms first and not this poser thx <3
- joke lang. s*lberberg-ssaem dont sue me

"ECONOMICS" by samuelson&nordhaus

- omg this is a perfect bedtime story (insomniacs, take note zz)
- a literal "text" book
- its a scam. reading this book doesnt make u rich!!
- a good econ book i must say (it gives u a lot of real-life examples to understand concepts better)

"PRINCIPLES OF BIOCHEMISTRY" by lehninger

- ngl i only read about 5 chapters of this bcos i was bored!!
- not high school-friendly
- it's basically abt the chem inside ur cells
- putting it here just bcos u might need this in uni or med school
- krebs cycle b!tch

stewart's "CALCULUS"

- NO THIS IS NOT A MUSIC BOOK PLS
- indebted to this book bcos my irl calc teacher SUCKS
- i luv how they highlight the important formulas (we stan!)
- almost like a workbook bcos holy shit man theres thousands of calc problems inside
- aesthetic AF

"PHYSICS" by giancoli

- P6 stans rise!!
- an exceptional textbook. almost believed that p6 >> chem
- "ilang newtons, coach??"
- the physics word problems inside were fun and FATAL???
- best paired w a scientific calc for full experience :')
- summon ur inner einstein n newton!!

campbell's "BIOLOGY"

- MY BIBLE???
- the most POWERFUL book on earth #changemymind
- I FINISHED READING THIS MASTERPIECE AFTER 2 MONTHS AND I HONESTLY DIDNT KNOW WHAT TO DO NEXT
- "BIOLOGY IS IN MY GENES" intensifies
- this made me appreciate the beauty of life (ANURAW???)
