Those students who have had some Physics preparation before coming to college will take Math A and then Physics...
With its limited enrollment, the field requires that one be a candidate for honors. Four full Arch.Sci. courses and four halfcourses, including one in engineering, must be taken, and the concentrator must be prepared with Math C, and Physics C, Chemistry A, or their equivalent. Distribution courses are also recommended with the intention of preventing over-concentration rather than the opposite...
...consequently complain. Nevertheless this is a better choice for the pre-med than Biology in most cases, since it levaes more courses open for distribution, and yet covers everything needed for a thorough understanding of human physiology. It is better avoided, though, by men who can't do math. For the man who intends to do no graduate work, Biochem is useless professionally, but provides a good, liberal survey of general science. For men going into psychology or physiology in Graduate School, it provides at least as good, and probably a better, background than undergraduate concentration in psychology or biology...
...than such fields as physics and chemistry. There is less lab work, but at the same time the training in practical application is much greater. One of the principle complaints about this field has been that it fails to correlate its courses properly with the prerequisites in physics and math, and consequently there is much repetition of fundamental theories...
...possible to do quite well in the more elementary stages of chemistry with almost no knowledge of mathematics, but the man who hopes to do any advanced work in the field will find Math A invaluable, and Math 2 helpful. The higher reaches of research chemistry become almost pure mathematics at times...
