Do you have to be good at math to become a doctor?
I really want to become a doctor, mainly a trauma surgeon of some sort. That is all I think about. My current major is psychology which I do enjoy also. However I always see my self glued on the discovery healthy channel watching trauma life in the E.R and mystery diagnostics etc... I am good at solving problems just buy looking at it. For example lets say I need a quick fix, to fix this broken lamp.I can just automatically figure out how to fix it with the things around me. Isent that what ER surgeons need to be good at? Of course with the medical knowledge that comes with it. On top of that when I do watch these shows. I love the look on these doctors faces when they saved a life. Its amazing that they are the ones that gave some one a second shot. However I SUCK at math, and its holding me down from declaring my major. How much math do you need? In high school I was not the best student, I use to cut and not do my work. Now that I am in college things changed, I am more mature. In high school my gpa was a 1.5. A year in a half into college I am at a 3.5. Sooooo I do not know what to do. Part of me thinks I could overcome my math issue if I study hard enough. If I really do want to become a doctor I can just learn to be good in math. SO what is a rough idea about how much math and what kind of math you need to become a doctor?
I want to become a doctor. Do I have to be good at math?
Hi, I am a junior in high school and I currently am taking 4 AP courses. I am taking two AP science classes (Biology and Chem). I have an A in all the AP classes I have taken in high school, except calculus which I got a C. The thing is, I was pretty good at every math class, but I absolutely hated AP calc and I did not do well. I want to be a doctor, and I know I need to do well in school to become one. I know in the medical field you do not need a lot of calculus, but I am worried about possible future med-school. Do I need to be good at higher level math to become a doctor?
Do i have to be good at math to become a cardiologist?
You do have to make it through Calc 1 and 2 as a pre-med student. Some Med Schools will look at your grades in pre-Med classes individually, so if you can't get a B+ or higher in ANY course, you'll be less competitive. Math is also necessary for many of the research projects that Med Schools like to see. All Medical Students are expected to have a basic understanding of research concepts, including statistical methods. You might not have to "do" math at Medical School, but you will quickly fall behind if you don't understand it. What no-one else has mentioned is that Cardiology is one of the specialties that uses math the most. An EKG read-out essentially looks like a logarithm, and understanding Calculus will help you recognize normal and abnormal readings, as well as categorize those readings quickly. Cardiology also uses Physics (fluid dynamics). In fact, Mathematics is so important to the practice of Cardiology that there are Mathematical Cardiologists doing ground-breaking research to find new ways of predicting heart attacks and other heart-health issues. This doesn't mean that you have to be an amazing mathemetician to be successful in Medicine, or even Cardiology. It does mean that you need to apply yourself to understanding all the information in your math courses, because they will be foundational to the information that you encounter in Medical School, Residency, and (in the case of Cardiology) Fellowship.
Do you have to be very good at math to be a pilot?
Short answer - No, you don't have to be a whiz at math. You do need to be able to consistantly and accurately perform some basic math operations (add, subtract, multipy, and divide), but that is about it. Nobody is going to ask you to solve a complex system of differential equations. The physics helps a bit, in theory, but you can certainly get by without it, particularly if you have a good memory. When I was learning to fly, my instructor pilot was an airforce Lt Col and was a liberal arts major in college (I have a masters in aerospace engineering). I nearly peed my pants when he explained that you have to apply a bit of back pressure on the stick when you are turning to keep the plane from losing altitude because "the wings aren't level so the little lifty guys fall off the wing." The real reason is that the lift isn't acting vertically since the wings are banked so you have to increase the amount of lift until the vertical component is equal to the weight of the plane. You'll notice that one explanation is more technically complex (not to mention factual) than the other, but my IP knew the most important thing, which was to apply back pressure in a turn.
