<p>Physics I is pretty easy in most schools.</p>
<p>I know that at my U the chemistry majors take the engineering physics, but the biology students don't. The geology students have the choice of taking the calc based or the trig based physics. I find that completely hilarious.</p>
<p>Why bother to take the trig based physics? They haven't learned that in highschool?</p>
<p>I'm taking Engineering Physics 1 by the way.</p>
<p>Were you deciding for this semester? It's probably too late to change now (unless you want a W).</p>
<p>Don't know. A W isn't a problem, as long as you don't have too many. 1 or 2 wouldn't be bad. If you are going to med school they might cough up a lung, but everything else should be fine. I have no idea about the trig based physics. I would like to take that class just to see the difference, lol.</p>
<p>I don't know how it is at other schools, but the only real difference I could tell between the two was that in calc-based physics, you were given the derivation of the formulas and expected to understand them, whereas in trig-based physics they gave you the formulas without derivation. In both classes, you could have a formula sheet, so it didn't matter in either case.</p>
<p>No formula sheets here, lol.</p>
