DO YOU HAVE TO BE GOOD at MATHS TO BECOME AN ASTRONAUT?
I would say yes. Newton's first Law says that for every action, there is an equal but opposite reaction. To launch a rocket, you need to use this equation, and others involving ballistics. (arcs, curves, speed, mass) You get the idea. You are starting out at a good age. Study, study, and always ask questions. The only stupid question is one that you want to know the answer to, but you don't ask it. Don't let anyone tell you that you are stupid to want to be an astronaut... You have to be SMART to want to be one and get to be one. Good luck and see you on the moon!
Why I am good at math but not at science?
I am taking anatomy and physiology, and every time I take a multiple test I go !!!!!! or answer the wrong question. I am very good at math but the science is killing me. What can I do about it? Subjection please. I only have this problem with science, not other subject.
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.
Why am I good at math and not biology?
Unless you have been exposed to rigorous mathematics, all reasoning which compares the differences between mathematics and biology is inconsequential.Without exposure to rigor and without the proper foundation in logic and reasoning, one can not actually be good at mathematics. Perhaps, an individual can claim to be good at calculating, but a computer does the same thing. It takes rules and processes and gets a result. And the computer will always be faster and better at it.With that out of the way, and with no other information, it seems to me that the most likely case is that you need to get better at actually learning.The notion that biology requires memorization is absurd. Particularly when you compare it to elementary mathematics taught poorly. To my opening point, in K-12 nearly all of math is memorization. It shouldn’t be, but that’s how it is taught. Biology is, by necessity, a congruent and systematic entity full of relationships and context. To learn biology is to understand a deeply meaningful system. These are not things to be memorized any more than you recall the name of a friend. You do not “memorize” your friend’s personality. You know it.If an individual describes knowledge as something they remember, they never actually knew it.The truth is, the way I described biology is exactly the same description which can be applied to mathematics. What’s more, mathematics was created for the purpose of unambiguously describing relationships and reasoning about what conditions the relation of implication between objects in the system.It should now be clear why I suppose a deficiency in truly learning to be the cause of your trouble. The cognitive abilities and capicity to recognize relationships, draw conclusions, and create an understanding of biology are the same cognitive abilities needed to do mathematics well. Not calculations. Mathematics. Therefore, the notion of mathematical ability being exclusive to mathematics is demonstrably fallacious.
Why I am not good at math anymore?
Simply put. Lack of practice. The mind forgets unless you continually practice a skill or trade regularly.Another explanation could be a term called “Long-term potentiation” if you want to be scientific about it.Long-term potentiation (LTP) is a persistent increase in synaptic strength following high-frequency stimulation of a chemical synapse. Studies of LTP are often carried out in slices of the hippocampus, an important organ for learning and memory.It means that when you stimulate a nerve pathway over and over, it creates strength in that pathway so that you can retain and pull up the information faster when repeating that process. When you practice math, it stimulates pathways related to the type of problem you are working on. When you do this over and over, you will strengthen that nerve pathway and be able to solve the problem faster and retain that information on how to solve that problem for longer amounts of time. If you stop stimulating that nerve pathway, you won’t be as able to pull up that information from your memory bank to solve the problem you are working on.
What fields can I get in if I am good at math?
You can go in almost any engineering or science field. I would suggest if you really like maths go for Engineering Maths or Engineering Physics or Computational Science(not computer science although that can be an option but it won’t be challenging enough for a math person) or Statistics.Honestly I don’t know much about B.Sc. but I can tell you about Engineering. For some private university, maybe studying would be tough for you. In my university, you get marks for filling as many sheets as you can. And course won’t be challenging enough or up to data. But I would advice hang in there. There is a very beautiful exam GATE, with tests the in depth knowledge of students. Go for it and ace it. Do some research in top institute in India and change the face of this world.Good luck..!!
Why am I good at math but bad at chemistry?
Calculus in 8th grade? What. Anyways, it usually depends on your self. I mean, you might be a math person, but not really a science guy. I know chemistry has a ton of math in it, but it gets harder because you have to learn a ton of stuff, not just the math part, and it gets confusing. I am currently a junior as well, I took chemistry last year. I severely struggled with it, yet I had Algebra II too and I had a high B/low A in the class. Maybe you and I are alike, we hate science, but love math. In my opinion, you are not bad at chemistry. Having a B- in a class is great. If you are taking Honors Chemistry or AP Chemistry, a B- is a high earned grade. Even if it's a regular Chemistry class, it is still a good grade to have. If you feel like you are struggling in Chemistry and you think you suck at it, just ask your teacher for tutoring. I always got D's and C's in Chemistry, but later, they improved, thanks to my teacher personally helping me.
How could one be good at math but bad at physics?
There are really two ways to answer that question. One is that physics is the word problems from math class, done up big. You can be good at math class generally but hate the word problems. That is a common way for math students to feel. Such people find they do poorly in physics even though they excel in math. But why is it that way? The answer lies deep in epistemology and the way the brain works. All of knowledge can be divided into two parts, facts and relationships. The brain has a different way to do each, and two ways to do the first. Facts are remembered in the long run by rewiring the short range connections of the brain permanently through cell growth. People whose brains do that easily are great at history and such but they limp through math. Facts are remembered in the short run by chemical changes inside the cells. People whose brains do that well are the human calculators. They have scratch pads in their heads and easily do arithmetic and solve complex problems. Such people are built for mathematics; they can do algebra and calculus without writing much down. But facts remembered are not facts understood unless the relationships between them are recognized. The brain encodes relationships through the long range connections between the cells, the connections that link up groups of cells from different areas of the brain. Some people are good at recognizing relationships. They are known as people with good intuition and common sense; such people are also seen as creative. They are also built for physics.
