If you want to learn math or physics, take a math or physics class. A "Philosophy of Science" class will not teach you that. Philosophy studies how people think, how they perceive things, how they organize their motivations ... i.e., why people do what they do. In a "Philosophy of Science" class, I'd expect to learn about why so many people think science is important, why many people feel a desire to learn or have curiosity, and the repercussions of this on the individual and society.
Again, I'm sorry you had a bad experience, but it seems like you were trying to get something out of a class that it was never intended to give you.
