AI Thread Summary
Taking Calculus I and calculus-based Physics I simultaneously is feasible, especially if the physics course primarily involves basic calculus concepts like derivatives. Many students find that understanding differentiation is manageable and can be learned quickly. However, the experience may vary depending on the teaching methods of different institutions. It's advisable to assess personal comfort with math and seek additional resources if needed to ensure success in both subjects.

I have never taken calculus or physics, but for my major I require both. I am wondering if it is reasonable to take calculus I and physics with calculus I at the same time. Thank you.

At my school, Calc-based Physics 1 ( mechanics, mostly ) only made use of very simple calculus ( derivatives only ). I'm not sure how other schools teach it. If you can pick up differentiation quickly ( it's not difficult ), then I'd say go for it.
 

Thread 'What are the best A-Level options for someone wanting to do Physics?'

Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...

Thread 'Hepth programs in Europe'

After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...

Thread 'Should I pursue a masters degree after 4.5 years working in IT?'

I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
