Ok.. so im doing science and im wondering if physics will be ok to do if i've only done hsc mathematics only and doing life science mathematics first yr?
ive had no previous knowledge of physics whatsoever and im also enrolled in bio and chem subjects.
Anyone here got any advice? Is it hard? or perhaps will i find it difficult to cope with my lack of mathematics?

Any tips would be nice. :) thankssss

I did PHYS1002 while doing life sciences maths and I passed..just.

But I only did general in HSC and I'm generally shit at maths. It's more concept-based - you should be fine, even with no prior physics knowledge.

I'm in exactly the same boat. I wouldn't worry. PHYS1002 is for people who never did HSC Physics, or those who bombed out miserably at it.

it's fine, all you'll be doing is mechanics and waves.

Hey wm_abusef,

I've seen you around campus a couple of times but I've always been on my way somewhere at the time.

What subjects are you doing?

i found it hard. and i did 3 unit and no phys
and im pretty smart... lol

but if you put in the work you could probably do it. youd just maybe have to go speak to the lecturer/tutors about some of the math concepts
