<p>is anyone taking ap physics c and ap calc bc at the same time? how is it working out for you guys? difficult? manageable? Thanks</p>
<p>yeah I am. Physics C is much more of a challenge than BC. I actually think BC is really manageable but it's other classes I have like Multivariable Calculus, AP US, AP English Lit that require time devoted to them and that really puts me in a tight schedule. But since It's second term, I have senioritis. I'm sure you can do it because many people have done it before and many are doing it in my high school and high schools around the nation.</p>
<p>What I've heard from some folks is that the AP Physics C sometimes hits certain calculus topics before you hit them in your AP Calculus course (unless you're at a school that offers AB one year followed by BC the next).</p>
<p>If your AP Physics C teacher can compensate for this, you should be OK. But it might be rough in the early-going if the teacher can't.</p>
<p>I'm doing this next year and the teacher warns me that he teaches the first two months of calculus in a day or two...</p>
<p>It's actually not that bad, imo. Physics seems much less formidable when you realize how little real calculus you have to do. [the book we use just tells you to look in the appendix for integrals] Though since I'm taking a interdisciplinary course, we have to integrals anyway, for extra credit, that is.</p>
<p>For me, the combo is not very difficult at all.</p>
<p>Physics we're going really slowly right now so that certainly helps. The hardest thing we had to do was like differential equations. For some reason BC seems pretty easy. Only a few parts are actually that hard.</p>
<p>lol i signed up for physics C and calc bc at the same time. horrible idea... i'm one of only two juniors, and one of only two kids who hasnt completed calculus. Mechanics was horrible for me considering in the first week my teacher tried to get me to integrate... Its much easier now though</p>
<p>Well, at our school, the only possible way of taking AP Physics is concurrently with AP Calc BC unless you skipped ahead in math, since both of those courses are usually only offered to seniors...</p>
