I want to see some results.
Dude... my poll is about experimental physics in particular.d_leet said:

Zz.
Yes, it is possible to excel in experimental physics without being great at math. While mathematics is an important tool in understanding and analyzing experimental data, it is not the only skill required for success in this field.
Math is an essential component of experimental physics. It helps scientists to formulate hypotheses, design experiments, and analyze data. A strong foundation in math can greatly aid in understanding complex physical phenomena.
One strategy is to practice regularly and seek help from tutors or peers when needed. It can also be helpful to relate math concepts to real-world examples in experimental physics. Additionally, using software tools and calculators can aid in solving complex equations.
Yes, there have been several famous scientists who struggled with math but made significant contributions to experimental physics. One example is Marie Curie, who faced challenges in mathematics but went on to become one of the most influential physicists in history.
Yes, individuals with dyscalculia, a learning disorder affecting math abilities, can still excel in experimental physics. With accommodations and support, they can develop alternative methods for solving equations and still make valuable contributions to the field.
