But in reality biology is much more complex than the physical sciences, and understanding it requires more, not less, brain work. Biological processes of course are consequences of physics and chemistry, which is why we require our biology students to study the physical sciences. But organisms are also historical entities, and that's where the complexities arise. The facts of physics and chemistry are constant across time and space.
I'll work all day trying to figure out a problem if the answer will actually tell me something interesting like how much work is required to move an object. It is the nitty gritty algebra at the end that always causes me trouble. Algebra is what I would consider the most difficult. My physics professor is always setting up problems for us, and then saying the rest is just algebra, and if you cant do that, you should not be in this class. Which is true, no doubt, but I dont like the implication that it is just algebra.
