I wasn't sure where to post this, so excuse me if I picked the wrong forum. My major is computer science and I'm approaching my last year in college. I haven't taken my lab science sequence yet and I was advised to take physics.

Does it matter whether I take a calculus-based physics course or a trig-based physics course? I mean . . . does it matter to the employers or depend on if I want to go to grad school? I'd rather take trig-based as I hear it's less grueling.

No it dosen't matter. You are a computer scientist. But for your own good
I would advice you to take trig based physics. In computer graphics
programmer, you will use more trig and vectors than calculus. Its good if
you know calculus with addition. Anyways, its your choice, why not ask one of your computer science teacher?

Why would employers care? It's not like they're going to ask you for your transcript.
