    Courses Should I take AP Physics without ever having taken a physics course?

    If you've got nothing better to take, I'd say go for it.

    How Can I Prepare for the AP Physics C Mechanics Exam in 3 Weeks?

    I'm a junior taking AP C, and this is (roughly) what we've used calculus for. Mechanics: -Using calculus to go between displacement, velocity and acceleration. -Using calculus to go between angle, angular velocity, and angular acceleration. -Setting up differential equations involving forces...

    Spivak's Physics for Mathematicians?

    I'm in AP Physics now, and I was in AP Calculus last year, and I was wondering whether I'd be able to understand this book.

    Is there a general way to solve integrals?

    By most integrals, I was mainly thinking of the ILATE functions. Could those be solved with riemann sums?

    Is there a general way to solve integrals?

    Would it be possible to prove most integrals without the FTC using Riemann Sums?

    Is there a general way to solve integrals?

    Homework Statement This is just something I've been wondering, but since derivatives have the formula: dy/dx = lim h-> 0 of (f(x+h) - f(x)/h) And that formula can prove a lot of derivatives. Does a similar formula exist that can prove integrals? Homework Equations The Attempt...

    Vector Calculus: Worth Dual Enrolling in High School?

    I'm just a sophomore now, so I'm not really interested in any colleges in particular. Should I still take the course anyways and hope that in two years that the school that I go to will let me transfer the credits? @thegreenlaser I think there's a placement test administered by the community...

    Vector Calculus: Worth Dual Enrolling in High School?

    I'm in high school, and right now I'm taking AP Calculus. I'm interested in dual enrolling at a Community College over the summer. I've been looking at their Math selection, and they list Vector Calculus as a course. It sounds, from reading the...
