AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the perceived difficulty of studying physics, chemistry, and biology in a college setting. Participants note that traditionally, biology is taught earlier than chemistry and physics, with a shift towards introducing physics at a younger age. Experiences vary, with some finding organic chemistry conceptually easier but challenging due to the volume of memorization required for reactions. Others highlight that physics can be difficult to visualize, making it challenging for some students. Overall, the consensus suggests that individual experiences and strengths play a significant role in determining which subject may be easier or harder to study.

Hello I am going to take my group in my college I am having physics,biology and also chemistry i want to know which one is easy to study, In general i want to know normally on which subject people will have trouble in studying Physics or chemistry.

Here in Virginia during the previous generation, high school biology was first offered in 10th grade, chemistry in 11th grade, and physics in 12th grade. Since then there was a movement (by physicists) to offer physics before 10th grade.

Consider reflecting on your previous experiences, likes and abilities in these subjects.

(Organic chemistry and physical chemistry are reputed to be two of the most difficult classes in undergraduate university.)
 
i actually found organic easy to understand hard to memorize all the equations needed for test. concepts were easy but the sheer amount of reactions needed to know for synthesis was the killer. my hardest class would have to be cell biology

so physics would be harder for some to visualize in my point of view
 
TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation.
