AI Thread Summary
College physics for a Biochemistry major typically aligns closely with AP Physics, particularly in introductory courses like General Physics I and II, which are often taken in the sophomore and junior years. Students can expect a similar level of difficulty and content coverage as seen in AP Physics courses. However, advanced physics courses, especially for those considering majors like neuroscience or physics, will delve into more complex topics and require a deeper understanding of the material. Overall, the foundational physics courses are designed to be accessible and relevant for students in life sciences.

First off, sorry for wrong location of post. I am wondering what kind of stuff you guys do in college physics. Is it similar to AP Physics? What should I expect in the Biochemistry Major, I was looking at the suggested courses on my future college's website and I think it was something like Gen. Physics I in soph. year and Gen. Physics II in jr. year

Can you refine your question a little bit?

AP Physics B or C?
 
As a biochem major taking general physics I and II I would expect it to be very similar to high school AP physics. At least it was like that in my university. Now, if you were to take more advanced physics major courses, then obviously they would be much more in depth.
 
Yea I'm in physics C now

Say my major could be neuroscience or biochem
 

Thread 'My Grade 11 Math mark is eating me alive. What do I do?'

I'm going to make this one quick since I have little time. Background: Throughout my life I have always done good in Math. I almost always received 90%+, and received easily upwards of 95% when I took normal-level HS Math courses. When I took Grade 9 "De-Streamed" Math (All students must take "De-Streamed" in Canada), I initially had 98% until I got very sick and my mark had dropped to 95%. The Physics teachers and Math teachers talked about me as if I were some sort of genius. Then, an...

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...
