Transition from High school to University

Hello /sci/

I am about to transition from high school to university and would like some reading that would help me prepare for a first year engineering or general sciences course.

Preferably chemistry or physics since I am missing a few courses in those subjects but they will let me squeak by because of my marks.

Any suggestions welcome, just not SICP.
(If you were going to suggest that get back to /prog/)

the simplest answer is just find out what textbooks they have used in the past for classes you will probably be taking, buy used copies and and go over the material beforehand durin the summer.
perhaps you might even consider e-mailing someone from the math department, maybe a secretary, maybe the head, maybe a professor, to see if they could offer you a copy of some past syllabus for the course you might be taking. Then just hope they give enough of a shit to help you out during the summer before you are a freshman.
of course, this all applies only if you're willing to spend the dough on extra used textbooks, and you are fairly sure what maths you will be taking.
