Is it wise to take Calculus based physics 1 if you're taking calculus 1 concurrently?

Also, it may be different if you’re in a semester system school, where the two are meant to be taken concurrently.

This is not always the case. Some universities gear their physics course to allow for calculus to be taken concurrently. Others require the student to have prior knowledge of calculus.

For your sake, check with your university. The rules are not the same across the board.

If you do choose to take the courses concurrently, I advise you to familiarize yourself with the concept of derivatives and how it applies to an objects motion early on. But, I’m sure if a physics course does not require calculus as a prerequisite but allows it to be a corequisite, you will be fine.
