<p>I'm doing exploratory sciences,so i was just wondering.</p>
<p>nvm,just did some research.It looks pretty impossible for me.</p>
<p>Hehe, I'm doing physics and math.
:-)</p>
<p>Yeah, going into the meteorology program, it'll probably be a bit rigorous for me.</p>
<p>is physics more formula memorizing or is it more applying what you've learned?</p>
<p>As with most courses, it really is dependent on the professor. I've taken PHY2048 and 2049 (General Physics A & B) the last two semesters. The instructors tended to preach about fully understanding the concepts (which is certainly the goal), but many friends have 'gotten by' just knowing the formulas and plugging in numbers. That said, it is certainly typical to discuss one application of a formula in class, while the exam would use the same physics, but slightly different angles, positions, forces, etc to discourage pure memorization and encourage the application of what was taught.</p>
<p>hornetfla (and anyone else), i'm a sophomore in the meteorology program, so feel free to ask if you have any questions.</p>
<p>A relative of mine is an FSU Met graduate who occasionally teaches some Met courses at FSU. He would say that you need to master the math and physics because in the higher level met courses you simply must know how these tools reflect the systems of weather. You've got to understand the language to have a shot a predicting what will happen next. The language is math, the behavior is physics.</p>
<p>MRCNole... I'm assuming you like the meteorology program since it's your second year. I would like to know what helped you to decide to go there... and what you like most about the program.</p>
