> really strange for someone to ace "honors physics" to then fail qualifications for intro calculus Famously, there can be "plug in the numbers" physics. Zero conceptual understanding required, And then all you need to know about fractions is to "divide" that entry on the calculator. For example, in a PSSC high-school physics course, I remember adding four or five terms when analyzing a calorimetry experiment, with no awareness of adding compatible (same units) energy-related terms. In some ways a high-school student might be better served in a conceptual physics course, if competently taught. |
