Does everyone (that needs an A) always take calc I and II (and maybe III) before taking physics I and II? Is it really that difficult to do well in physics while taking calc at same time?
Physics 1 requires you know Calculus 1. Co-requisite is Calculus 2.jaysquestions said:Does everyone (that needs an A) always take calc I and II (and maybe III) before taking physics I and II? Is it really that difficult to do well in physics while taking calc at same time?
Not all universities do this the same way. Some design their first semester physics so that it is taken at the same time as a first course in calculus, while others require a semester of calculus as a strict prerequisite. For your particular situation, your advisor is a key person to discuss this with, as she/he will know the way your particular school does this. Also note that "calc I", "calc II" etc doesn't necessarily mean the same thing at all schools either.jaysquestions said:Does everyone (that needs an A) always take calc I and II (and maybe III) before taking physics I and II?

Calc-based physics is a type of physics course that requires knowledge of calculus in order to solve problems and understand concepts. It is typically taken at the college level and is more advanced than algebra-based physics.
Calc-based physics is often considered more difficult because it requires a strong understanding of calculus, which can be challenging for many students. Additionally, the concepts and problems in calc-based physics tend to be more complex and involve more abstract thinking than algebra-based physics.
It is recommended to have a solid foundation in calculus before taking calc-based physics, as many of the concepts build upon each other. However, some universities may offer a combined calculus and calc-based physics course for students who have not yet taken calculus.
In order to succeed in calc-based physics while taking calculus at the same time, it is important to stay organized and manage your time effectively. Make sure to attend all lectures and take thorough notes, and practice solving problems regularly to reinforce your understanding of both calculus and physics concepts.
While calc-based physics may be required for some science and engineering majors, it is not necessary for all majors. It is best to check with your academic advisor to see if calc-based physics is a requirement for your specific major.
