text: what course is harder , physics or math? a little explaination would be appreciated. is math harder than physics or vice versa? if i were you, i would have point out the question: which course is more entertaining, physics or maths?  but now, you are you and i am me. that means i have to answer your need.  the language of science is mathematics and the grammar of science is algebra.  guess what, physics is the king of science.  so, both courses are related to each other. when there is physics, there is always maths. but when there is maths, there isn't always physics. however, to practice maths effectively is through physics as one of the ways. to practise physics, you must know maths which to practise maths, one of the ways is through physics.  do you see the relationship?  now, about the "hardness" of the courses. since both courses are related, if you master one of the course you must be able to keep up with the latter course although you are weak in the latter course. the relationship influences your mastery of both courses.  trust me, i did. i never had a grades in maths till ninth grade. the more i understand the peak of a subject, the easier for me to understand its foundation due to relationship.  however, not all are like me.  get the picture?  if you are to choose any of the subjects, choose not according to your ability but according to your enthusiasm. the strenght of the will is mightier than the strenght of the ability.  i hope i can be of some assistance. sorry for answering too long.
