    Is calculus based physics harder than physical chemistry?

    Is calculus based physics harder than physical chemistry? Just curious. I've taken p-chem I (basically calc-based derivations of the laws of thermodynamics, chemical equilibrium, phase transitions, colligative properties, and electrochemical principals) and was wondering if this was harder...
