No, it is not true. It is false. In order to PASS physics, chemistry,
and engineering, you must be pretty good at mathematics.
Not really Math and physics are what make engineering
Chemistry, Physics and Engineering are not made up of just mathematics, there are a lot of understanding of the physics and chemistry concepts to do well in those courses too. Most people who are bad at math will have difficulty solving physics and chemistry problems (although they may understand the concepts). though they might be quite good at certain kinds of chemistry (synthetic organic chemistry, for example, which is more about memorization and less about mathematical skills). However, being good at math does not automatically mean you'll also be good at chemistry."Good at math" is also a somewhat vague term. You can be a whiz at simple arithmetic and still be horrible at analytical-type mathematics ("word problems") which are more similar to the kind of understanding of mathematics that's required in the physical sciences. So if someone doesn't have an understanding of the concepts, then they would have difficulty setting up the math equations (which will model the actual physics, chemistry etc.)
No. You can still excel or do well in physics even if you are not good at computer science and chemistry. For example, physics is one of my favorite subjects, and I am pretty good at it. I am also good in math, but have never done anything computer science-related. I dislike chemistry, but love physics. I do not know much about the engineering aspect though, sorry. I'm sure you'd be fine though.
Academics in any of these three subjects use fairly advanced or advanced mathematics on an almost daily basis. Undergraduates and graduates in these subjects must expect to master more and more advanced mathematics as they proceed with their studies. Practitioners, particularly those with degrees in engineering, may not use much mathematics on a daily basis (once they graduate). However, considerable sophistication in understanding many mathematical concepts will still be required of them.
Of those six disciplines listed, you can possibly have "so-so" math skills and still make a good biologist. But an excellent facility with higher mathematics is a requisite for the other five areas.
More than possible. It's a necessity. Physics is very much mathematics. Even the very simplest physics laws like Ohm's Law (3 variables) or the action of a crow-bar (4) are numerical, albeit just simple arithmetic. Chemistry may be less so, but you still need to know at least some maths and have the mathematician's logical mind. In fact there are few, probably no, areas of science that do not use mathematics.
Not you will but you can.
Physics (optics, electronics). Chemistry (composites from which the camera or camera parts are made, and film - in the camera that still uses it). Mechanical and industrial engineering (to design, fabricate and produce the camera).chemistry in the development of film and making prints.
Your sentence is a tautology: trimming it a bit yields:"Do you suck at engineering if you are [...] bad at [...] engineering?"The other subjects add nothing; you could throw in polo and underwater basketweaving as well (on either the "good" or "bad" side) and the sentence would still be true.If this is an example of your typical thought process, I can pretty much conclude that yeah, you're bad at engineering, physics, chemistry, and programming, and I could even be specific as to why. Also, you're not nearly as good at math as you think you are (you might be good at arithmetic, which is something different).
Physics, Chemistry, Engineering, English Literature, Political Science, Comparative Religion, Business Administration, and Computer Science are going to be hard for you if you expect them to be. If you're interested in them and want to know something about them, then they won't be hard for you. And if you're still high-school age, then you may have the beginning of an idea of what you're interested in, but you don't have the foggiest clue yet of what you're good at.
Not necessarily. You can still learn.
Sure. Anything is possible. If you 're bound and determined to fail Physics, Chemistry, or Engineering, then even the handicap of being a math whiz doesn't have to get in your way, and you can still do it. Maybe it won't quite be "easy", but it's certainly something you can accomplish if you're willing to work at it. Note that your superior ability at math does NOT mean that you WILL fail these subjects, only that failure is something you CAN do if you try. That's what your question asks, and I'm trying to reassure you that it's certainly possible.
