Physics and Math - Frederick

Physics and Math… That sounds very smart doesn't it? Today I want to tell my story about physics and math. For me, both of the subject is actually fun, you don’t need to study and try to memorize all the things onto your brain. But today I will tell you what my first impression on IB Physics and Math is. Guess what? I have the same teacher for both of those subjects. It is good if you get good teacher for both of it actually. But guess what? I got the teacher that I could hardly understand.

Math is actually easier than physics, it doesn’t need to understand the words and formulas that physics student usually remember and understand. We only need a small amount of our logic and apply that to the situations. Every math class, I always learn all the things by my own book. I rarely hear what my teacher said. But yes, math is easier for me. I can like learn by myself and never fail the tests.

In the other hand, physics is like hell on earth. We should hear what our teacher has said and learn those ‘godly’ formulas and theories. In physics, I tried to hear my teacher’s explanation, but it’s just hard. Somewhat, the words never stuck in my head.

Newton’s laws of motion… I hate them. Einstein “e=mc^2”… I hate it too. What came into my head is that, why would all of the philosophers make those rules that makes our study difficult. I hate them. Einstein and Newton sucks. And one more that I don’t understand is that why should we study how to calculate velocity and acceleration? Even drivers who drive car that have the term “speed” in their car doesn’t need how to calculate the force and stuffs to have the desired speed. Oh man, what a waste!

In conclusion, what I think about physics and math are terrible. Hello, it’s more comfortable to study English and economics. Math and physics also make us to be blah. So yes, no need to type that long for the conclusion, they’re just hard. Why would my dream job want math and physics for their perquisites? *sobs*

Just want to point out, Einstein and Newton are NOT philosophers. Philosophers contains Greek root words of 'philia' (love) and 'sophia' (wisdom). Science is not wisdom, it is knowledge and theories. Philosophy comes in a different branch than science, it is more regarded to humanities; probably the highest and purest form of humanity itself.

Good personal thinking though!
