    Can I Take Calc-Based Physics 2 Without Algebra-Based Physics 1?

    Is what really necessary? 1.If I do a Bachelors of Arts in Chemistry I can take physics 2 algebra and get the credit i need, but i hate to take it without calculus, but i will if i have to.2. Bachelors of Science Chemstry Any / Biochemistry Concentration: requires calc physics 1 and 2.

    Can I Take Calc-Based Physics 2 Without Algebra-Based Physics 1?

    I took algebra based physics 1, and need physics 2 to graduate. I don't want to take algebra based. Is it possible to take calc based physics 2 with taking algebra based physics 1? If i talked to my school what would they say? What if I needed calc physics 1 and 2 for BS would they sub 1?

    Is Chemistry the Right Major for You Based on Its Difficulty?

    I was contemplating majoring in chemistry when I go back to university. I don't want to do this physics (not that i don't like physics nor is it that i can't - just not interested in taking the classes). Thus, I would do a Bachelors of Arts instead of science to avoid the physics. I was...

    How can the Power Series for Arc Tan be Proven for Homework?

    tiny-tim: so differentiate each term, then go back and take the integral of each? where does that get me?

    How can the Power Series for Arc Tan be Proven for Homework?

    yes, when our teach show used she used integrals in part of the problem, but I've forgotten now.

    Converting Cartesian to Polar Coordinates: Explained with Example

    Homework Statement Find polar coordinates. Homework Equations Cartesian: (-3,4) The Attempt at a Solution r = sqrt(9+16) = 5 sinθ = 4/5 cosθ = -3/5 θ = ∏ - arctan(4/3) Answer: (5, ∏ - arctan(4/3)) I do not understand why we have subtracted the value arctan(4/3) from pi?

    Identifying Symmetries of a Curve

    so the proof using sin(A-B) would be: sin(∏-θ) = sin(∏) cos(θ) - cos(∏)sin(θ) = sin(θ) 0 - (-1)(sinθ) = sin(θ) --> sinθ=sinθ

    Identifying Symmetries of a Curve

    i realize sin(θ) = sin(∏- θ) for values on in the interval 0<θ<pi by looking at the unit circle.
