Physics is one of the oldest academic disciplines, perhaps the oldest through its inclusion of astronomy. Over the last two millennia, physics had been considered synonymous with philosophy, chemistry, and certain branches of mathematics and biology, but during the Scientific Revolution in the 16th century, it emerged to become a unique modern science in its own right. However, in some subject areas such as in mathematical physics and quantum chemistry, the boundaries of physics remain difficult to distinguish. Physics is both significant and influential, in part because advances in its understanding have often translated into new technologies, but also because new ideas in physics often resonate with the other sciences, mathematics and philosophy. For example, advances in the understanding of electromagnetism led directly to the development of new products which have dramatically transformed modern-day society (e.g., television, computers, and domestic appliances); advances in thermodynamics led to the development of motorized transport; and advances in mechanics inspired the development of calculus.

GNU Free Documentation License How hard would a correspondence course in Physics 112 be for someone who has never taken physics before? Q. I have been conditionally accepted into a respiratory therapist program but have never taken any Physics perviously and one of the requirments is 112 physics. I am planning to take a correspondence course via a local college, but am worried about not being able to understand the concepts of physics. I would greatly appreciate some insite on what Im up against! Thanks! PS: Also if you know how interelated the concepts of physics and respiratory therapy are it would be nice to know. Asked by Regina - Wed Apr 23 17:01:58 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. Given that every university has different numbering systems, telling us that it is Physics 112 is meaningless. If it is an introductory class for non-science majors, then it should not be too hard. If it is an introductory class for science majors, it may require you to know calculus to do the work. If it is not an introductory class, then it could be very difficult for you. I doubt that knowing physics will help much in doing respiratory therapy. However, the skills that you use in learning physics will be valuable in any field. Answered by Ranto - Wed Apr 23 17:12:48 2008 Is it ok to take Physics (Calculus based) with a background of only College Algebra and Trigonometry? Q. Hi guys, I just wanted to seek a little bit of your advice. I have not taken Pre-Calculus or Calculus before. But I have taken College Algebra and Trigonometry. I am planning to take Physics I (Introductory Physics I) which has Calculus I as a Co-requisite. Do you think I'll be able to handle and pass Physics I with my background? Thanks! Asked by Monika - Thu Jun 19 16:04:25 2008 - - 5 Answers - 1 Comments A. Depends on the difficulty of the University. If you're at MIT, University of Michigan, Virginia Tech or another top ranked science university then i would never go into a class under prepared. If it's in a community college there should be enough people that don't know what's going on anyway that you can get away with not knowing all of the calculus background for a calc based physics class Answered by wranglerdude16 - Thu Jun 19 16:10:35 2008 How can I be good in Physics and advance maths?
Q. I'm a form 4 student in a public high school in Malaysia. I always get average grades in my physics and additional mathematics subjects. During learning session, I can understand what are being taught by my teachers but during exams I found it difficult to apply what I have learn before. I understand the questions but I don't know what formulae to use. What should I do to improve my grades? Asked by hidayah tarmizi - Tue Jul 31 09:53:01 2007 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. Practice makes perfect! Always practice and always test yourself and find your points of weaknesses and work on them. Good luck ;) Answered by Deena E - Tue Jul 31 10:24:44 2007 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Physics" Physics is the science of the natural world, which deals with the fundamental particles the universe is made of, the interactions between them, and the interactions of objects composed of them (nuclei, atoms, molecules, etc).
