If you take college physic, which is algebra based you should be fine just taking it if you are straight out of high school. If you have not had math in awhile I would try college algebra first. If it is university physics I would take cal one at least. Which physics should you take? If you are a science major, or engineering major take university. Even if your degree might not require it. I graduated with a biochemistry degree and it was not required but I think it hurt me when I got in some upper-level courses and now in graduate school. If you are any other kind of major (English, business....etc) I would take college. Good Luck!!

I teach calculus-based physics - students in my class must be taking at least calc 1 at the same time. Some schools require you to take calc 1 *before* taking calculus-based physics.
For algebra-based physics, a trig&pre-calc course is usually a prerequisite.
Physics is very math-intensive, so be prepared!

To take college physics, you'll need to take calculus either during or before. Taking it before physics is a good idea, so you've got it down.

it really depends on the physics that you gonna take, but it's not bad u try some calculus, specially if ur physics gonna b calculus based.

Calculus would be a good idea.
