Re: Physics First



The current order of Bio, Chem, Physics was
chosen many decades ago because of ALPHABETICAL ORDERING :-( The
new ordering makes sense from the point of view that Chemistry is
applied Physics and Biology is applied Chemistry ;-)

When I was in highschool that old ordering made more sense,
since Bio was really nothing but Taxonomy, which can be useful
practice for the sciences.

Nowadays, I understand Bio has advanced to include a lot more stuff.
