Hi, I'm currently in year 10 and we're picking our subjects for next year about now...
Basically I'm considering not doing any maths at all... apart from the fact I'm bad at it, I have no interest in it nor do any desired career paths involve it at all.
The only science I'm at all interested in however is Physics... what I'm basically wondering is would all hope be lost if I did physics and not any maths? (not considering do Earth/environmental, chem or bio at all)
One science teacher says it'd be impossible, then again another says nah the maths you do in physics isn't hard, you don't need any year 11/12 work etc.
I hear alot of the difficult maths in the year 11/12 physics course has been removed in recent years??
I know there's formulas etc F=ma but thats easy subbing in numbers etc... as apposed to actual maths course, factorising etc.
So I guess what i'm saying is, with the level of maths gained up to end of year 10, would this be sufficient, along with what's learnt in physics, to get me through (presumably until end of year 12)? Better yet does anyone here do physics and no maths, and how do you find it?
What I'm considering doing so far is;
English Advanced
Legal Studies
Modern History
Society & Culture
Physics
German
.. and probably if I end up doing 2 Unit maths (not general) i'd probably switch it with german...
Thanks in advance
Alex
