Hi there! At the moment i'm doing Higher Physics and i'm getting on well with it and so was considering choosing AH Physics for next year. However i have only done Int 2 maths this year and i'm taking Higher Maths next year. My question is will it be hard doing AH Physics if i've not done Higher Maths? I would be grateful for any replies (so thanx in advance! )

the course itself is hard but yes in places they do go into proving things with at least higher maths probably things you havent done yet
I would ask your teacher if i were you

Be careful. So far in AH Physics I've experienced integration and differentiation very early on that may only come up in AH Maths. With hard work you may be able to cope. Read up on some AH maths.

NNNNNNOOOO! 
I haven't even started Higher Maths yet, never mind AH Maths! I don't think i have any chance of doing AH Physics, which is a shame because i really enjoy it. Why does Maths always have to win? Luckily my Maths teacher is really helpful and said he would be willing to teach me any Maths i didn't know for Physics, which is always a good thing.

Physics is just applied math. Alot of the prominent physicsts were geniuses in mathematics.

Well i wouldn't say i'm really good at Math cause i'm only doing Int 2 this year so i hope the Maths in AH Physics isn't too nasty!.... 
I'm scared!

Where's the AH stuff?
Higher maths does just fine. Essentially, you just need a basic knowledge of sine, cos and tan useage, deriving and integrating, vectors (including adding vectors). Other stuff is potentially useful, but unlikely to be needed in the exam - such as similtaneous equations...

Signatures suck. They clog up websites and serve no purpose.

It should not be a great problem doing AH physics with not so much maths background. Yes there are some bits on calculus and trig functions but you say you're doing higher maths at the same time so thats completely adequate.
Nothing!!!!!!!!

I'd say If you're doing well with higher and enjoy it, go for A/H. So far, we havent used any A/H maths in physics....
I've jinxed it now. Fiver says I go to physics tomorrow and we get hit with some more of that six-and-a-half page integration mumbojumbo that my math teacher loves oh so much

Don't worry they know really that AH chemistry was the far better choice
Its far more useful!
