Why are some people good at math and physics but bad at English and humanities?

Usually it is lack of challenge. English, which is a humanity, and the other humanities lack true rigor outside of the basic technical aspects of the respective disciplines. Semantics, syntactics and semiotics are English subsections that are not adhered to, but English seems to want to step beyond its remit and say things about the natural world. Such things can be relativistic and disconnected from what is naturally known. This annoys true scholars and they lose interest in English and the other humanities beyond the basics. I really have never met anyone personally who was good at math and physics that could, without much effort, get a B in such subjects. I know I did.

Is it true that if you are good at math you can do physics?
It really depends. If you are good at understanding the concepts of math and you think you can grasp the concepts of physics (which is not bad at all), then you will do fine in physics. Physics is like 50% math 50% concepts. This is my second year of physics (I am doing Physics with Calculus now) and it really isn't as bad as most people think.
Is it true that people who are good at math suck in physics?
No. Not at all. A person who is good at mathematics has an advantage when studying physics as much of physics is explained (or can be explained) in mathematical terms. It is no guarantee to excelling in physics as there are difficult concepts to grasp, but it is certainly not a disadvantage and so the premise of this question is without foundation.
Is physics suitable for people who are good with math?
maybe. You also need a knowledge / interest in science.
Are you bad at physics if you are good at mathematics?
No. A lot of physic has to do with equations and math. Physics will be easier if you are good at math. I was for me :)
Is physics hard if you are good at algebra?
Being able to use algebra is essential to studying physics. Being good with algebra can make studying physics easier than it would be if you were not good with algebra. However, being good with algebra will not ensure that you will find studying physics to be easy.
Is it possible for me to do well in physics chemistry and engineering if I'm good at mathematics but not good at College English and Humanities?
Absolutely, yes. I know lots of people like that. In fact, it's pretty normal for people who are good in the Sciences to be not so good at English and the Humanities.
Is it true that people who are good at math and science are bad at English and humanities?
No.
Why is it that some people who are good at math and science bad at English and humanities classes?
genetics, DNA, jenes. all that stuff
What does being good at English have to do with humanities and music classes?
Very basically, a culture is defined by its language.
Why is it that some people who are bad at math are good at physics?
Must be conceptual physics as physics has one language and that language is mathematics. I have never known a physicists that was not good at math.
Define physics and areas of physics?
Wikipedia gives you a good definition and a very large list of areas.There's also the "Simple English" wikipedia.They give a very short and good definition for Physics.See http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics
Is it true that people who are good at math will have more difficulty in physics?
No; both physics and mathematics are almost similar.
What is a good website to visit for understandable information on physics topics without the need for subscription or fees?
I've found the physics forums to be very good and have a lot of people who actually work in physics.
Is physics appropriate for people who are good at math but not programming?
You don't need computer programming for physics. Try it out; you might like it.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of the bachelor's degrees Physics and engineering?
Advantages: you can work in most jobs in the technology industry, with good pay. You can build neat things. You get to work with very interesting science. Disadvantages: At most schools, physics and engineering degrees are significantly more difficult to get than those in the humanities.
Is it true that if you are good at math you can do physics?

What subject are people good in when they are not good at math?
Communications Social Science Art History Liberal Arts Anthropology Sociology Philosophy English Literature Humanities Psychology Music Linguistics(this has more career opportunities for people who hate math) Education(Elementary Education, Secondary Education, Post-Secondary Education) Law
