Because they evolved from brown bears, and this species is found only in the northern hemisphere.

Also polar bears are primarily aquatic feeders - feeding on and around ice floes - and the South Pole is a LONG ways from any open water or ice pack. Antarctica is HUGE. In theory polar bears might survive in the seas around Antarctica, but it's not their native habitat and there is much less ice pack than in the Arctic because most of the ice is deposited on the land mass of Antarctica.

The climate in the South Pole is too harsh for the Polar Bear unlike the Penguins who are in colonies to keep heat amongst themselves.

Further information:

In fact, there are no animals that live at the South Pole. Many people consider that the South Pole is the same as the Antarctic, but in fact the South Pole is just a theoretical point in Antarctica. This question will answer what creatures live in the Antarctic, as no animals actually live at the South Pole, being too far inland for any animals to survive there. The Antarctic itself is a desert, and no animals live in the Antarctic desert.

The elevation of the South Pole is more than 9,300 feet above sea level.

The whole of the Antarctic continent -- where you'll find the South Pole -- is too cold to support any kind of animal life, and there is no food chain there for animals to survive.

they don't live there because the Southern Hemisphere is hot and they would all die.

They don't. They live near the NORTH pole. They live there because it's their native habitat -- there is food and shelter there for them.

No. They live near the arctic circle. Polar bears are found in the circumpolar Arctic, or near the north pole, not south pole.

It's too cold there -- about 30 degrees F colder than the Arctic where the polar bears do live -- and there is no food chain on the continent for any animal.

What math used in Mechanical Engineering?

First off, the question should be either "What math is used in Mechanical Engineering? or What is the highest level of math someone needs to take in order to become a Mechanical Engineer?" Most college programs require through Differential Equations to earn a BS degree in ME. This means you would need to take Calculus 1, 2, and 3, Linear Algebra, and Differential Equations once you get to college. It is assumed that most students going into engineering will have no less than Pre-Calculus before entering college while most will have taken Calculus. Now each college has different requirements for fulfilling the math requirements for an engineering program. I know from my experience, Georgia Tech teaches math differently than most colleges because they combine Calc 1-3 and Linear Algebra into just 3 courses instead of 4. My suggestion is look at the program requirements at the school you are interested in first. Second, evaluate whether you feel that you can learn the math. For those who struggle with math, if you really want to be an engineer, I suggest going to a smaller school where the class size will be smaller. This will have better student/teacher interaction so you can get more help.
