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.)

How important is further maths if i want to do a degree in physics?

Further maths can be valuable for a physics degree as it covers topics such as advanced calculus and algebra which are important in physics. It can give you a stronger mathematical foundation and make certain physics concepts easier to understand. However, it is not always a requirement and you can still succeed in a physics degree without it.


Is nuclear physics hard to study?

Well you have to have enough physics and maths knowledge to start a bachelors honors degree in physics at a good university, after that it's up to you. Not everyone is a Oppenheimer or Fermi, as in any field some people are brilliant and lead the way, whilst others follow. But good maths is important.


Can you be a pilot without physics?

No, physics is a fundamental aspect of flight principles and understanding aerodynamics is crucial for a pilot. A solid grasp of physics is necessary to navigate aircraft safely and effectively.


Why is it that physics is considered as a science of energy?

Physics is considered a science of energy because it studies the fundamental behaviors and interactions of energy in the universe. Energy is a core concept in physics, underlying various phenomena such as motion, heat, light, and electricity. Understanding how energy moves and transforms allows physicists to explain and predict the behavior of systems at all scales.


What was Albert Einstein interested in?

Albert Einstein was interested in physics and the nature of the universe. He is best known for his theory of relativity, which revolutionized our understanding of gravity, space, and time. Einstein was also deeply interested in philosophy, mathematics, and music.

What GCSEs do you need to become an architect?

Architecture is a very popular course so you'll need good results in maths, physics and art. Although universities mainly look at A-level results, you'll need on average a grade B in English and maths at GCSE. My friend has been accepted by Glasgow university and she took, alonside maths, English and the sciences, art, history, french and business studies. At GCSE she got 6 A*s 3 A's and a B in Welsh. For A-level she took maths, physics and art.
