Physics Major?

<p>I was in a similar position as you a couple years ago. I was interested in physics topics but I did not enjoy math. Math was usually my least favorite subject throughout high school. I was thinking about majoring in physics in college because I enjoyed the subject in high school so I took Physics I my second semester of college. It was a completely different playing field with the amount of math involved. High School Physics was algebra based so it allowed for more focus on content matter. However, to understand physics at a higher level you have to take calc-based physics. The class was the equivalent of taking a calculus class with a physics class to go along with it. I found the class difficult and stopped trying midway through. I also noticed most of the physics majors were dual physics and math majors because physics is very math intensive. My recommendation is if you have difficulty with math or you don’t enjoy it, it will not be a good idea to major in physics. However, if you are truly willing to spend more time studying then go right ahead. I would recommend trying Calc-Based Physics I to get a grasp of your capabilities and go from there. Good Luck!</p>
