Not really. Of course, you'll have to learn some new concepts - just as when you learned algebra.

How hard is physics if you are excellent at calculus and linear algebra?

That should probably be easy. Try it out to be sure.


Will you do well in calculus if you are good at basic math and computer science math which is boolean algebra with circuits?

Being good at basic math will definitely help with Calculus. Boolean algebra is fairly different from Calculus, so it is hard to say how much it will help. Boolean algebra does help with some critical thinking skills, which will be helpful in Calculus to an extent.


Are calculus and linear algebra courses hard for an individual who got an a plus in algebra?

you don't go from algebra to calculus and linear algebra. you go from algebra to geometry to advanced algebra with trig to pre calculus to calculus 1 to calculus 2 to calculus 3 to linear algebra. so since you got an A+ in algebra, I think you are good.


Is it true that if you are good at algebra you will have problems with calculus?

False. What makes calculus "hard" is the Algebra. If you have a good understanding of Algebra, you will not struggle in calculus, especially considering the fact that the fundamentals of the class- Calculus 1- aren't very difficult to grasp.


Why is calculus so hard?

Calculus in itself is not hard, it is usually remembering the algebra and previous math classes that is hard. New concepts are introduced in Calculus, but isn't it the same with any new subject? For example, many problems in integration, the actual calculus is not the hard part, it is using all of the algebra and other concepts you have used your whole life to simplify the problem so it is easy to solve.


Will calculus be hard for you as an individual if you got an A plus in algebra?

There is no way to know. Some aspects of calculus depend on a good understanding of algebra, others don't. It all depends on which aspects of algebra you were good at and also whether or not you retain that edge.


Will calculus be hard for you if you got an A plus in algebra?

Probably not much; of course you'll learn new things (just as you did in algebra), but they will be introduced gradually (just as they were in algebra).


How hard is pre-calculus compared to college algebra?

It is not hard compared to college algebra. pre-calc just incorporates topics you have learned so far uo to college algebra and introduces a few more. if you did well in algebra, you should do well in pre-calc.


What kind of math is college math?

its very hard like summation and very hard algebra including calculus :very important peacehomebean2


Is it true that if you are good at math you will fail physics?

No, not true. However, you will find it very hard to excel in physics if you are a poor in algebra, calculus, vector calculus and differential equations.


Are calculus 1 and calculus 2 hard if you are good at and love algebra?

It wasn't for me but I was a good math student in high school and had taken Algebra I and II, Plane Geometry and Solid Geometry as well as Trigonometry (a year of Solid and a year of Trig) as a Senior. I still do Algebra problems for fun like people do crossword puzzles and I am in healthcare administration


Is Pre-Calculus hard?

You have to be solid in algebra 1, algebra 2 and geometry because it combines the 3 classes and adds more to it. Even then it can still be pretty challenging. If you are not prepared to do all of the work and study then it can be the hardest class you take in highschool. Some say it is harder than actual calculus.
