Oh, and a decent math background makes physics a lot more comprehensible; calculus is one hell of a powerful mental tool.
I know this. I'm taking precalc next year and I took physics this year (which I'd say I did average in). It's ok that you say these things though. It's good to hear from actual people inside the field and not always the people saying that anything is possiable. But with math and physics is one of the reasons im debating wither or not to just make it as my minor since that won't be as extensive. I know it involves alot of math and physics and I'm sure I can make it through those. I'm not the type of person to give up on something as important as a class expescially if I'm interested in what it's teaching.
