On my first day of college Physics, the Professor came in and asked for a show of hands of how many people in the class were going to continue their education in the field of Physics. Nobody raised their hands. He said since that was the case, he didn’t see the point in teaching us calculus-based physics and so he taught everything using algebra-based physics.

The best part was I had just aced a year of algebra-based physics for my Tech degree, so I got another year of the same for my accredited Bachelors degree.

Why were you even in that class? It is only required for those pursuing advanced curriculums requiring the use of calculus.

Makes no sense. Why would he even ask if it was an advance physics class.

No non-physics or non-engineering major is going to sign up, much less a whole class.
