Physics 1BA3?? No MATH 1A03, 1AA3
I'm wondering if I should take PHYS 1BA3... I wanted to take 1BB3, but it doesnt fit my schedule...
Unfortunately I have only taken MATH 1LS3... So I'm probably at a disadvantage for the math component...

My roommate took physics 1BA3 and she said it's all integration. A friend of mine took it as well without math 1AA3 and it murdered him even though he had a 12 in physics 1B03.

there's not that much integration.

If there is integration it is probably only simple integrations like polynomials, exponentials etc.

Its easier than 1b03 in my opinion mainly because there is less topics. However if you are a life science student then I would take Phys 1bb3. This course has similar material to 1ba3 but is slightly more easier and has a life science focus.

It's a fairly decent course. There's some integrals but it's not much. More about understanding.
