Re: HS math preparation correlation to college

So, it is more matter of practicality than anything else. If one like
to use physics as a ground for chemistry and biology, the level must
be very high. Historically those disciplines emerged independently and
it took a long time for physicists to explain in their terms chemical
and biological phenomena. They are also taught differently - more
deduction on the physics side and more descriptive on biology side
with chemistry in between. It is not only question what should be
taught first but also how the rest should be explained.

At the high school level, some areas in chemistry and physics can be
somewhat "descriptive" too like organic chemistry and atomic
structure. (Many HS physics teachers don't even bother covering
anything like atomic physics or relativity, unless it's mandatory in
the curriculum).
