SUMMARY
Many students struggle with mathematics while studying physics, as highlighted in the discussion. A participant shared their experience of excelling in A-level physics with an A grade despite receiving a D in A-level mathematics. They emphasized that while a strong grasp of proof-oriented mathematics is not essential, proficiency in calculations—whether algebraic, integral, or differential—is crucial for success in physics. This indicates that students can still enjoy and succeed in physics without being mathematically proficient.
