Physics vs Chemistry

[SomeGuy]

I found physics alot better because it seems more useful and is easier to learn. It may be harder than chemisty but I liked it alot more...It also depends on how far your class or classes go. Im now taking Modern Physics in High School and there is a killer ammount of Calculus in Quantum mechanics and even in some of the simpler physics equation from regular physics which now have Integrals and Derivatives replacing some of the parts from regular physics.

It totaly depends on your personality and learning curb. If you are good with numbers and calculations, go with physics.

If you catch on to terms well and can memorize what you read, go with chemistry.

+1 totally apples and oranges, and different people find different subjects to be more or less "difficult". Physics is closer to pure mathematics, chemistry more structures and names to memorize as feast pointed out.

chemistry and physics do intersect though. Where chemistry gets REAL small, it IS physics. In fact, it's funny- some chemists like to think themselves physicists When chemistry gets big, it's biology lol. See, it's kind of a continuum, and it breaks down:

psychologist think they are biologists
biologists think they are chemists
chemists think they are physicists
physicists think they are mathemeticians
mathemeticians think they are GOD lol.

It's kind of a joke, but each field intersects in that order.

ive only taken physics so far

Mathemiticians are as close to God as anyone is I think.

id agree with everyone above. but id have to say, being a math person, that physics is much more fun. its more fun in the sense that you can see a situation apply centuries old formulas to it, plug in some numbers, and find out MORE about the situation using only some math skilz. its funny how much of the world can be explained through math.

I have found physics more difficult, but organic chemistry was a killer even so. I'm currently in biochemistry, which would be more fun if I weren't so scared. . . .

I took Honors Physics in high school. It was alright I guess, but I enjoyed Chemistry a lot more. Chem was more fun because it was applicable by burning stuff. Physics you just kinda kicked a wall and spent the rest of the quarter writing an equation about it.

Mathematicians have worked out that the most likely possibility for the existence of life is that we are are actually in a computer program set up for people in the future to experience the past. Sort of like the Matrix...

After taking both chemistry and physics in high school and then again in college (albeit at a higher level), I can say with absolute certainty that physics is harder, especially if it is calculus based physics. Trigonometry based physics vs. chemistry is a little bit more even, but I still say physics is tougher.

Personally, physics was a lot harder for me, but at the same time, more enjoyable than chemistry. I made A's in both subjects in high school. This is why I'm taking physics in college instead of chemistry. I've always been fairly good with numbers though, which can explain why I'm a computer science major (who will possibly be going into 3D Animation.. general knowledge of real world physics can sometimes be needed here).
