I am starting college soon, I need to know what is needed for Physics class as far as math, I know trig and cal 1 this class is general Pysc 201 class any help here??

Question

anonymous · Answer

I mean from Cal and trig what do I need for this class so I can review it?

anonymous · Answer

To start and work your way up in Physics, you need a prerequisite of college level algebra. Not sure what general Pysc 201 is for your school but sounds like the starting class for Physics

anonymous · Answer

this class is the General Physics for at the start before 220 with cal 2. I am going to a JR college to do this class. I have had both Alg and trig already and some cal as well. I have not been using them and was trying to brush up on what is needed for this class only as far as math for the class goes. I will be attending Tarlton State University this spring to major in Physics engineering FYI..

I personally would contact the instructor or go to the school and ask someone to find out what is needed for the class. The school/instructor would know best and send you down the right path.

anonymous · Answer

yeah. I was just hoping someone on here would know what the math would be. I shot in the dark and lost oh well. thanks for your help guys. I did not want to have to study the whole subject of trig and Cal again in order to prepare for this class

@mathDoodler has it right -- ask the physics undergrad adviser what specific topics you should study. Since it's calc I & II, you should check out Paul's Online Math Notes http://tutorial.math.lamar.edu/ for all relevant calc reference materials. Here are a few websites & video series which will come in handy for physics: * HyperPhysics - all physics concepts nicely hyperlinked together http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/hframe.html * Math Tools for Physicists http://www.physics.miami.edu/~nearing/mathmethods/ * Feynman Messenger Lectures "The Character of Physical law" (6 parts, each 1 hr -- HIGHLY recommended!) Part 1 = http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3mhkYbznBk * My Physics Lab Java simulations http://www.myphysicslab.com/ Good luck! :D
