Metsuna Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 I'm choosing my first year courses right now, and someone told me that I needed math 127 to actually do phys 111. Is this true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahhh which school are we talking about If it is Waterloo that is incorrect, you don't need calculus. More math can always help of course......

tooty Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 sounds like it's a uw question. no you don't need 127. the math in phys 111 is pretty simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tooty Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 as an aside, i think math 127 is a decent option for a course. personally, i wouldn't look for bird courses per se. consider also the possibility of earning 85+ in the course. Sometimes, jerkoff profs just won't give high grades. othertimes profs fairly reward work and study. i think math 127 is one of those courses where, if you put in the work, you'll get a 90. i had a friend who went into the final exam with 100+% because of assignments and bonus marks (haha) and he only had to score like an 80 to end up with a 90 in the course. it could have been highly prof-dependent, but we know that this course allows for that type of thing.

I would agree with that - Math 127 is my highest mark at waterloo thanks to some bonus marks at the end. You have to work at it, but there is a reward for that work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
