gollark: It's somewhat similar here, A-level physics is weirdly lacking in maths. They deliberately avoid all calculus even when it doesn't make sense to.

gollark: I think most of them use "IPS" now, whatever that actually stands for, and have good viewing angles. My laptop screen was clearly minimal-budget and is "TN"-based, so the viewing angles are bad.
