Q&A
Q: Do you learn calculus before physics or along with it?
A: Learning calculus with physics is probably the most intuitive way to go. After all, calculus was developed to solve physical problems involving instantaneous rates of change. In particular, I find it helpful to use kinematics to establish a solid grasp of calculus. The position-velocity-acceleration relationships illuminate the connection between differentiation and integration. Calculus provides the tools for solving advanced problems, while physics provides specific examples to understand abstract concepts. These two subjects work well together.
