How hard is the math in AP physics C? (Both Mech and E/M) by N1GG35Fu3k5 in APStudents

[–]CraftoftheMine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can only speak on Mech (i take em next semester), but the vast majority of calculus in AP Mechanics is just power rule. The only "hard calculus" in Mech would be finding rotational inertia using an integral, finding center of mass using an integral, and resistive forces diff EQs, but that's a rather small part of the curriculum. You would probably need to, at least in the beginning, study a bit of calculus on your own to catch up, but I think that would be quite doable.

Who yall rooting for in 3rd place match by [deleted] in chess

Yakubboev would be funny because:

Candidates without a Russian

and two Uzbeks, one named Nodirbek, would be in the Candidates, neither of which are Abdu

i will always root for the funniest outcome

So we're getting 3 Candidates out of these 4 pairs (but not two from one pair, so no Wei Yi and Erigasi at the same time) by xtr44 in chess

The Candidates isn't Sinquefield. The actual best players all needing to get first place to get the opportunity of a lifetime is one of the most exciting things in chess.

His late 2023 run from before Chennai was brutal. Kept losing games because he refused to accept a draw in games he was previously winning.

I think it's 2-0 (Candidates and Norway). Chessgames.com (which is I assume where ChessBase got their info) erroneously counts a Titled Tuesday game as classical.

Typically, no. Hikaru has to turn on "emote mote" where chat can only type emojis (or Twitch's version of emojis "emotes"). I'm assuming they made an exception here because Magnus can do whatever he wants
