Science without maths </3 (2 Viewers)

Would it look strange if I dropped maths but did two sciences ? (chem & bio)...
Want to do medicine or dietetics

Short answer: I wouldn't think so, no.

Nah, if you really hate maths its fine to drop it.

 

[Siddy123]

it wouldn't "look" weird, no.
but if you're aiming for med, best be trying to keep maths( helps ur atar), but if u absolutely h8/suck at it, well then drop it

It would "look" a bit unconventional, but there's nothing wrong with it.

Good luck!

Science without maths is like body without blood

 

[pokka]

as long as you know how to do calculations in chem (especially) then it is fine to drop maths if you truly hate it and not good at it. However, if you're planning to do med/dietetics you can't escape doing maths in 1st year just so you know (but i guess you can get away with doing a bridging course XD)

Its fine but remember that you will never escape Maths (but why would you want to anyway? )

It is fine for high school. If you want to do any science courses at university then most of them do require at least Year 12 mathematics or higher.

Also note that the HSC Science Syllabus (syllabi? syllabuses? =p) were designed such that even a student not doing Mathematics can still take them.

Related Q: is calculus necessary for first year maths (in a science degree)?

Most certainly, but often they will teach it to you from scratch.

Which is slightly unfortunate because Physics and Economics would be a helluva lot more fun if Calculus was involved

According to the board of studies it's syllabuses

 

[madharris]

some of my friends are doing really well in bio/chem/physics (like top 15) and aren't doing any sort of maths, so you should be fine

My teachers always say syllabi...

That's what I said too, haha.
