Which class is harder: Physics or Pre-Calculus

[Duality0234]

Discuss.

[Hawker]

Depends which type of physics. Mechanics or electricity and optics?

If it's mechanics then pre-cal is harder but if it's electricity and optics physics, physics is harder.

[AppleNader]

be more specific.

What level of physics? The garbage you learn in high school? University level calculus based physics? Semiconductor physics? Quantum physics?

[canadianballer]

i slept thru physics.. wouldnt know and sure as phuck not gonna take pre calculus

[mhg88]

Pre-Calc was an absolute breeze. Physics was harder for me.

[Hawker]

lol glove, why'd you delete your post?

To answer the question, Physics (1st year) is generally harder than Pre-Calc


Though both were very easy to me.

No, I haven't noticed...and I'd consider that more of a waste of time than a "joke". Weird sense of humor. :confusedshrug:

[ruslan]

i take pre calc right now and its a ***** kinda

[lilojmayo]

Discuss.

Yeah it really depends on the level. Your obviously talking about high school ala Pre Calc.

I, lilojmayo is a very reliable source on this topic because just last school year i took Physics I and Pre Calc (Honors)

All I got to say is Pre Calc (H) shyts on Physics I 10/10

but this year i'm taking AP Calculus BCand AP Physics II and Physics II shyts on Calculus 10/10 times. You can't compare the two Physics is such a beast especially this Electromagnetic shyt. I have a test tomorrow actually i'm probably going to fail it. I have never gotten anything less than a B on a Calculus test this year.

[LaLuzdeLucyfer]

If you're in high school chances are Pre-Calc will be more difficult unless you're taking AP Physics,, because technically sin, cos, tan, sec, the whole shebang regarding early calc, factorials are a bit new. Whereas if you take like a low level Physica you're bound to talk about Newton and freakin' Bohr and basic FBD sh!t, Kinematics etc.

College-wise Physics quickly becomes far more the difficult course.

[Fatal9]

In university, I found calc a bit harder than physics. I don't find the material in calc to be hard, but just find it impossible to maintain motivation doing all those repetitive and dry problem sets (ended up doing 1 maybe 2 sets all year). I prefer courses where calc is a tool, like in physics and economics because I NEED real world applications no matter what I'm learning. I am thinking of revisiting calc next year though and take an upper year courses in it.

In physics difficulty for me went like:
Waves/Oscillation > Nuclear Physics > Electromagnetism (most enjoyable imo) > Mechanics

Haven't taken a rigorous quantum course (probably never will).

If you're talking high school, both courses are a joke.

[Fatal9]

Can anyone from the USA post their physics tests on here (1st year). I want to note the difference in difficulty between Canadian universities and American ones, if it exists.

[Hawker]

I would bet they are generally the same difficulty if you compare top engineering/physics universities in both nations.

[i seen hippos]

I got an 82 in first year physics (mostly your basic mechanical physics minus a few chapters).

Not bad for not going to one class the second semester, not studying for the final exam and not taking any science or math classes in grade 12. lol

Basic math I'm easy with, but **** calc and ****. That stuff I'd have to study hours for to call it easy. I remember in grade 11 math (when you first really start doing a lot of that ****) I had a 72 going into the final exam and I decided not to study and just put down anwers as quickly as possibe. I got 28% on the exam and finished with a 62. lol

[RidonKs]

I might actually ask this here -

Say I were debating majoring in Physics for an undergrad. I've never taken a course in HS, and have no more than elementary knowledge of the subject matter. I took Pre-Cal first year and got a B- while putting in virtually no work (that won't happen again obviously if I decide to major in a science/math - I have a newfound respect for those subject). Do you guys think I would need to take a HS equivalency course before I enter the introductory classes in first year, or would I be able to get by with hard work but no foundation? Forget requirements, I'm just curious about difficulty at this point.

Ok "All" this isn't really related to what you were asking for.


1. Where did you get this newfound respect for the topics? :oldlol:

I remember you always hated on them.

2. Well it's good you finally found out they are good subjects to major in.

3. Why are they good subjects to major in? Well obviously because of the reasons you found respect for them. One, they are very rigourous, and some of the hardest majors in college. Not only are they intellectually demanding, graduate schools and jobs look favorable at those and have respect for you and your intelligence just off the fact you majored in those topics (with a respectable GPA). And it's justifiable, because if you did major in those topics, you are pretty smart.

4. I know that you don't plan on doing math or physics for the rest of your life without you telling me. (Am I right?)


5.


I'd recommend Math over Physics though. Though I guess it depends on where you are going after this. You could do either though. But if you are planning on doctor/dentistry, then probably Physics because it has more overall science class requirments. Otherwise, math is arguably the most versatile yet rigorous major there is. I can't think of a major that has a better combo of versatilty/rigooursness than math.









6. Now to your real question.

They are both difficult majors. And you are going to find that you kind of naturally have to be smart to do well at them. I know a lot of friends that took Physics, Math, tried very hard, but didn't do too well. Some of them had the same HS background as you.

Foundation is obviously really important and it kind of sucks you don't have one. But it can be overcome by

a) Natural Intelligence
b) Hard Work

Both are for you to decide. How smart do you think you are naturally in topics such as Math/Physics that require analytical and quantiative thinking?

And how hard are you willing to work? That's for you to decide as well. If you turn out not as smart as you thought, then you better be working a lot harder.



7.

What I'd suggest is just try a Physics, and Calc class. Give it your best. And then decide. Obviously the majors are very beneficial, so it's worth it to do either.

But besides that, take a Physics, Math class, aim for a 3.5 or higher (since it's introductory), even mid 3.0-3.5 is acceptable since you haven't taken them in a while. But after that, decide if you think you can master this topic.

If you are able to, you won't regret it.

I was able to get Cs in my intro physics courses that were required for engineering and I only took a conceptual physics class in HS (regular, not pre ap or AP or IB or honors) where I learned nothing. I worked my ass off for those Cs too.

If you're willing to put in the work, you can pass and that's for sure. Depending on how hard you work and how smart you are and what prof you have then you can get As and Bs.

Glove_20: "........emo."

[KeylessEntry]

This is a kind of wierd question, because you are comparing a given level of math in pre-calculus, with any level of Physics class. Let me tell you there are some college physics classes that are insanely hard, these classes make Pre-calc look like kindergarten. If you are taking Physics in high school, its probably going to only use algebra and therefore be much easier than a precalculus class.

I think in general physics is harder than pre calc simply because its a broader field. If you want to compare math in general vs physics I would still pick physics.

I don't know about you guys but Pre-Calc was much harder than AP Calc for me. Derivatives.. integrals.. related rates. optimization they all made sense.

Phuck Multivariable Calc. That class made absolutely zero sense to me. The only thing I got out of that was how to do a triple integral. All the conversion from cylindrical to spherical to regular coordinates is so confusing.

This is more along the lines of what I was looking for. This is still a little ways away, I'm going to finish up my undergrad in PoliSci first since I'm so far in already. We're talking 2 years from now - what I gather is that I'd probably be able to go in cold, but taking an introductory summer course might actually be in my best interest, just to establish a foundation.

I agree with above, except my college does not offer precalc, it starts off at calculus teaching you everything (3 quarter or 2 semester class).

Upper div. physics is some of the hardest stuff college offers. Chem and some of bio get blown away...

[rawimpact]

Oh for sure take an intro class to get you ready for physics and also solidify that you actually want to be a physics major.


Any intro class is going to be bull****, teaching you the very basics. If you want to get into a major, you have to do some research including a talk with the dean of each college.

When i took sociology, it was great... but later one (405 level) i gave up on it and took the minor.

This is a bit different for the sciences, you notice what you're getting yourself into maybe 2 classes into it. The first is generally GE bull****, you should definitely ask your counselor if you have to take the lowest (001 level or 100 level course, because sometimes there are tests that exempt you)

[U got Served]

Obviously physics is harder than Pre-Calculus.
AP Calculus is harder than both of them.
Calculus II is even harder.

I answered things like how "hard" it will be for you, which you asked. I agree most of what I said was unrelated, but some parts were directly answering some of your questions.

You didn't answer why you had such a change of mindset? From dissing on engineers/sciences (kind of) to appreciating it. I thought it was purely because of the intellectual quality.

[Parade]

If you think pre-calc is easier than physics then that's a good indication your physics classes were a joke. Same for calc vs pre-calc. It's not even close.


I might actually ask this here -

Say I were debating majoring in Physics for an undergrad. I've never taken a course in HS, and have no more than elementary knowledge of the subject matter. I took Pre-Cal first year and got a B- while putting in virtually no work (that won't happen again obviously if I decide to major in a science/math - I have a newfound respect for those subject).

Forget requirements, I'm just curious about difficulty at this point.
HS equivalency course in what subject, physics or math?

Obviously, if you haven't taken any math beyond pre-calc, then you won't be able to take physics. At the minimum you need to have completed calc 1 before you take your first physics class. Some schools might allow concurrent enrollment, but I would advise against that.

Any school you go to should have the necessary math and physics courses you need so a HS equivalency test, class, or whatever isn't necessary. Just start taking math classes at your current level and work your way up. You don't need any foundation, besides math, to start taking physics, they assume you have no prior knowledge and start off with the basics.

You seem to me like a smart fellow, I wouldn't doubt for a second you could do it.

Applenader, have you taken thermodynamics?

I'm in chem e thermodynamics now and it flat out sucks. It's probably the hardest of my classes this semester.

To the OP, I'd definitely say basic physics is easier than pre calc but neither are too demanding so I really wouldn't sweat it. If it were college physics then, it's a whole different story. I really struggled with college physics, but I personally thought the department here sucks with teaching it because I've been fine in all my other chem/math and any other classes.

And dont mistake this post for me saying everything you type is a lie. Its moreso to say you have done enough shyt talking here. Now its time to back it up. Put up or shut the f*ck up.

Amen

HS equivalency course in what subject, physics or math?

Obviously, if you haven't taken any math beyond pre-calc, then you won't be able to take physics. At the minimum you need to have completed calc 1 before you take your first physics class. Some schools might allow concurrent enrollment, but I would advise against that.

Any school you go to should have the necessary math and physics courses you need so a HS equivalency test, class, or whatever isn't necessary. Just start taking math classes at your current level and work your way up. You don't need any foundation, besides math, to start taking physics, they assume you have no prior knowledge and start off with the basics.

You seem to me like a smart fellow, I wouldn't doubt for a second you could do it.
Damn, good stuff. Thanks dude. I was talking about physics equivalency - I had no idea it was so dependent on Calc. So are you saying if I were to major in physics, I wouldn't even take any intro physics courses before first completing a basic understanding of pre-calc/calc?

Well I've always been horrible in Physics... Barely passed Calc based Physics I with a D and I have to retake because I did so pisspoor in it. Don't know why, but this hate of Physics has gone on since my high school days. For example, I never got lower than an 88 in Calc II tests, but I never got higher than 70 in a Physics I test! I hate Physics with a passion.

There are physics courses that don't require calc, but those are a waste of time if you plan to major in the subject.. Yeah, you need calc.

Physics is a LOT of math. You will probably need to continue learning math the entire duration of your undergrad, and even some more if you continue on as a grad student.

Well graduate school would be the plan. Math was always my forte up until shortly after HS when I abandoned it and opted for a social science type instead. Methinks I'd like to revisit it though...

Again, thanks for the help.

RiDonks, why the sudden change of heart from english/humanities/philosophy type subjects to science/math?

Eh, I'd rather not go in depth about it. I still love philosophy, politics, and literature, probably more than I ever have. Incredibly fascinating stuff, all of it. I guess I just realized the importance of hard sciences, particularly those that describe the physical world (ie. physics), and want to pursue that knowledge.

Also, stop capitalizing my d.
