<p>well i’m a bio major that switched to chem and i found it was far easier.</p>
<p>you don’t need alot of math to be good at chemistry, not at all. 3 calculus classes is fine. i took more than that. p-chem is a joke in terms of math compared to things ME and EE have to take, it’s just basic calculus at worst, most of the time you use calculus only to derive things, in the end it (more than half the time) comes out to adding and subtracting. chemE is a bit more math oriented (fluids and transport phenomenon) but it has nowhere near as much math as ME or EE.</p>
<p>at my school o-chem is required year 2 for bio students.</p>
<p>memorization is extremely difficult, especially with biology due to nothing making sense and having no logic. if someone can do it, that’s great, that’s not me or anyone that doesn’t want to be a doctor. memorization in chemistry is all big picture, concepts, with physics and common sense to back it up.</p>
<p>and to make it worse, being harder wouldn’t be a problem if bio wasn’t a bad career choice for anyone that doesn’t want to be a doctor.</p>
