I think its a question of pseudoscience vs science.

math, math and more math.. You may want to do physics now, I did to when i was in 7th grade, but there isn't a whole lot to learn until you have, as Poley said, some understanding of calculus/pre-calc. Haven't looked into this a whole lot, but I think you only need to know some algebra and...

what exactly do you mean by be careful which classes I take? my specific requirements total 50 credits. The physics 200 series is a requirement by itself (total 15 credits), then I got 29 credits required in natural science, which ill be taking the physics 100 series (10-15 credits)...

back in high school i often times did not need to study to do good on tests in math and science. So I suppose that lack of repetition caused me to forget some important things, which is why I am only in pre calc. Something I got to work on.

id say I am above average in math and can handle this. Im just curious about how well you guys retain all the things youve learned in math and physics.

well technically I am a physics major but I am in pre calculus right now, so unable to take a calculus based physics class for another 2 quarters. I read through most of the "so you want to be a physicist" thread, but I have a few questions. First of all, I am at a community college, its a...

first question, would there be more rayleigh scattering on neon gas vs air? im wondering if you have a tube of neon gas, and shine a laser through it, will the laser beam become visible? as opposed to shining a laser pointer around and only seeing the dot.
