How hard is the maths in Physics?

[TheAspiringDoc]

Trying to figure out what subjects to pick, and i really like maths..

I chose none of the above. The maths in physics does not go beyond yr 10 in my opinion.

Generalising here but Maths in Physics is more like "Manipulate a standard formula and insert values into it to give you the correct answer." There's no calculus in Physics either since there's people who don't do Methods that go into Physics as well.

"Manipulate a standard formula and insert values into it to give you the correct answer."

This is year 12 physics in a nutshell. +1 .

Yep, you barely have to do any maths - it's probably around Year 9 level once you learn how to rearrange equations. So don't worry about the maths in physics - the hardest part of physics is really just the theory and understanding what the questions are asking.

Mod Edit: Added an option for "None of the above" into the poll.

Two people have said it's harder than spesh while 4 or five people have said it's easier than year 10.. I'm confused.

There is next to no maths in physics, yr7 standard if anything... There's a good reason all you need is a scientific calculator.

(and you need to believe less in polls, lots of people just vote for whatever option)

Specialist requires minimal effort, physics needs to have at least 25 hours per night alone at least devoted to the mathematics side of it.



*Don't even worry about physics math, seriously as others have said it's pretty simple in most cases!*

[Kel9901]

it's really just formulas/rearranging and finding areas/circumferences/etc of basic shapes, and counting squares

Maths has always been my worst subject, but I find physics really easy, and much more enjoyable. You'd probably be great at it since you already like maths

In my opinion, the maths involved in VCE physics is very basic. It's more of a problem solving thing.

According to my maths teacher, vce physics maths = year 5 maths. I'd agree.
