Does that not cover enough? At most colleges, you need to finish calculus 1 or high school calculus AB before taking the first calculus-based physics course. It is not a good idea to take a course that uses calculus before you have taken calculus, for reasons which should be obvious. You want to take precalc and Calc-based physics concurrently over the summer?
Just no. Math is sequential. You need to know 1 to get to 2 to get to 3. You are a freshman. You will have plenty of time to take the courses in the correct sequential order. No reason to rush and put yourself at a disadvantage in a class.
I agree completely with happy1. More advanced physics becomes very tedious to say the least without advanced math. I am saying this in general, it's not directed at you personally. And how much more could Faraday have achieved if he did learn calculus But it is hard to see how quantum mechanics or general relativity could be derived and described without calculus. The OP is interested in the application of functional equations in physics, rather than differential equations.
This is quite a complicated topic, and not at all related to the 'simplification' of mathematical methods in physics. It is possible that the OP doesn't understand it himself though. Considering this quote: "The solution is a nice surprise". Difference equations and functional equations in general is not a simple topic. Show 6 more comments. Active Oldest Votes. Of course that formalism is very inefficient. Improve this answer.

Unlike in HS, where it is common for students to take AP Calc and AP Physics C concurrently, with the physics teacher filling in any needed calc gaps, in college, the physics instructor will teach physics and assume you know the calculus needed.
Without seeing the syllabi, none of us will know if you will have covered the calc topics by the time they are needed for physics. Some people who take calc 1 and calc-based physics may have had some calc before. I would not start college being behind - so calc first then physics. Is the physics course offered in the spring as well or just the fall? I can, yes. Also, is it dumb to stack up principles of physics and general physics my second semester?
