Does one need to be good at Mathematics and Physics?
user
Yes, you should be good at mathematics and physics.  However, this does not necessarily mean that you should study physics and mathematics in college.  This is because at NASA, you’ll be learning math and physics from professional physicists and mathematicians.  The abilities that you gain from physics and mathematics classes in college will allow you to work well with the professional mathematicians and physicists at NASA.
