Which is harder....Physics, Chemistry, or calculus?

Answer 1

Nothing is hard ... its lack of interests that develop phobia about the subjects.

At first I thought that Physics was hard but then interest developed and I think that I cant live without it. :)

so its interest that counts. If physics or calculus are so hard then no developements would have started at the first place.

Answer 2

Physics is the mother of all sciences and chemistry is just applied Physics. Physics is just applied calculus. However, Calculus was 'invented' by Newton to explain Physics. Physics is harder but the most interesting, calculus is the biases of a lot of subjects including chemistry and physics, and chemistry is fun but no where as challenging as physics. If you can do physics, calculus and chemistry are not so bad.

Answer 3

Depends...are you talking about High School or College?

This past year I took College corses in Physics, Chemistry, and Calculus... If you're a math person and like challenges go for calculus... it takes work, but it's not EXTREMELY hard. I personally love Science so Chemistry was a breeze and Physics uses a lot of Geometry... so it kinda all depends on you previous experience, what intrests you, and how much effort you're willing to put into it.

But if I HAD to choose, I'd say Calculus, just because I had to put some effort into it most nights...the other two just come to me so they were a lot easier for me.

Answer 4

I always found chemistry the most difficult, and ironically the most interesting. I thought physics and calculus were a breeze.

Physics and calc are much more memorization based. If you can memorize the procedures to solve one type of problem, you can solve them all because the only things that change are the variables. They're both logically based too, especially physics. If you can think of how things occur in real life, you can understand a lot of concepts in physics and calc.

Chemistry just always seemed more abstract to me.

Answer 5

If you don't like algebra, physics and calculus are hardest
If you can't think outside the box, physics and calculus are hardest
If you're bad at memorizing a lot of things, physics and calculus are hard, and advanced-any-of-them is suicide.

So I guess physics and calculus, though advanced chemistry can be a pain with all the memorization (formulas, elements, compounds, ions, etc.)

Answer 6

Is Applied Calculus Hard

Answer 7

If the physics doesn't involve calculus, then calculus is harder, but if the physics DOES involve calculus, then it's the ultimate challenge. Chemistry is not as bad, mainly the hard stuff in chem is knowing the names, recognizing types of reactions, behavior of electrons/protos, stuff like that.

but overall, I would say physics is hardest of all

Answer 8

For its it was calculus. Physics has always been pretty much a breeze for me. Mostly because there was always an pretty easy way I could visualize what was happening. With calculus it usually is still possible to visualize, but it gets a lot more complicated. I haven't don't very much with chem so i I wouldn't know about that.

Answer 9

Well Physics and Chemistry both incorporate Calculus in theory and analysis. The Physicist Issac Newton developed Calculus to use with his theories on motion and gravity.
I don't see one subject area being more difficult than the other. All of those subject seem to have there rough spots.

Answer 10

Physics. Altough electricitiy and magnetism is gorgeous. It requires a lot of calculus (fingers up). Chem is quite interesting but it requires a lot of memorizing and some calculus as well. Calculus is the best of them all.
