>>53532182
i guess so. but I've also seen plenty of people who are very intelligent but have an irrational fear when it comes to math, as if it's helplessly beyond them. if it doesn't come naturally, that's fine. give yourself plenty of time to get comfortable and familiar with it, do easy exercises to get used to the "basic mechanics" and intuition of it, then progress onto problem-solving. same with anything really.

>>53532307
the idea that certain people and groups somehow suck at math because they are scared of doing it is a huge cope. The social scientists who tried claiming this were unable to replicate their research. People suck at math because they are brainlets.

The people you think are intelligent are probably not actually that intelligent, just eloquent or have something to their appearance or mannerisms that makes them seem competent. We are extremely poor judges of others' intelligence, especially of the opposite sex who we generally just assume are more intelligent because they are sexually attractive (it is weakly correlated though). When I did classes people asked me for help and acted like I was a galaxy brain when really I was just winging it and going uhhh uhhh how can I actually apply what I read last night and half forgot instead of regurgitating it. I'm a dumbass pooron though and my entire life has been a succession of different scenarios in which I just get myself out of shit creek miraculously but am never cruising

Actually work through the problems and memorize your identities. Your issue is probably the underlying algebra and not the calculus. Get a tutor.

>>53532073
Calculus is only scary because you don't know the thing.

It is a second language. Learn the individual symbols and what they mean so that when you go to do a calculation your brain isn't running circles trying to interpret the equation left, right and upside down.

After the symbols the next data set is formulaes. You don't need to memorize these so much as know which apply when. Get a broad understanding by grouping up your new language into sections.

Once you have reached this stage and wish to accomplish something, the trick is to write it out in words. Write an essay if you have to. What are you trying to do? how is it accomplished? what are the steps? How would a physical object represent this calculation?

It takes time. Stressing yourself out is only making it harder. You really need to calm down and trust yourself.

Just give it time to simmer in your head.

Nobody is smart or dumb. It just takes some of us longer to learn a thing. If your timeframe is longer than what education offers then you should get into politics and change that because it is fucked up.

>>53533209
You literally prove my point in your post anon. You stated that you're a dumbass, but had more success with math than others because of your attitude to it.
All I'm saying is that if someone sees something as incomprehensible and foreign from the outset, they'll struggle more than they would otherwise. Perhaps you're more likely to be in that state of bewilderment if you're actually dumb, but it doesn't change the fact that your attitude can affect your chances of success or failure.

>>53532073
Get a tutor, a good one

>proceeds to get replaced by AI in 3 years

>>53532073
I hope you only have to do calc 1 because calc 2 is actually hard. Anyway, you basically just have to memorize the process for each problem format. When you need to solve a problem, find a similar one and follow solution step by step. Then try to do it from memory.

>>53532073
It's honestly not that bad. Likely your issue is with algebra an not calculus, or something else fundamental. Here's some advice: start at the very beginning of Kahn academy at the number line. You can get through the elementary stuff a year grade every couple of days. Once you have all the pre-calculus stuff out of the way, the actual calculus is not that bad and not really all that much to learn, to be honest. Also, never quit just because you couldn't do a class. Get out before it's on your transcripts and find a workaround. There is always a work around. I've even completed classes at other schools to work around shit I failed the first time.

>>53532073
Just teach yourself numerical analysis and make a computer do the work

>>53532073
It's business cal you fucking loser most people in the stem field have taken differential equations. You don't deserve to make money faggot. I have a stem degree and am going back to school for finance and this shit is piss easy.

>>53532073
You will be made irrelevant anyways even if you do make it and get the job. Smart contracts and ai is going to btfo white collar jobs

>>53533581
I fucking hate Kahn because he's a verbose bitch who wastes my time "OH I CAN DO THIS ONE IN RED, SO LET'S DO THIS ONE IN RED!"

SHUT THE FUCK UP NIGGER AND GET TO THE POINT, FUCK

I'm exploring other avenues to learn. Patrick JMT is pretty good.

>>53533396
>Learn the individual symbols
This is also very good advice. Did you know there's a wikipedia page with all math symbols? It's very helpful for then knowing the name of the thing and then being able to google what you don't know. I don't even know why I'm giving you all the secrets without charging you money for my course.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_mathematical_symbols

>>53533798
Start at the very beginning, it won't take that long. The best math education I've ever found was through military manuals. They get right to fucking point, because that's how the military does things.

i dropped out of college 10yrs ago due to my 0 math skills. Today i am total loser. Ive nothing.

>>53532107
Kek

>>53533861
I did, I started with the math tutor dvd guy but found out his stuff is pretty thin so once I got through algebra I went back and began doing practice problems on youtube, there's a video with 36 hours of problems, and Patrick JMT has videos on everything as well, I really like him a lot. I need to pass an entrance exam by June-July so I can take Calc in August. I had to relearn everything, it's not easy but I used to be good at math so I know it's just a matter of practice.

no anon, you put your head down and study as much as possible. Your life's not perfect, welcome irl. Aim for understanding and take your shot, you can always get lucky and pass calc if you pick the right question and know atleast something.

>>53532073
Mathematics is the divider between human and cattle. In this moment I am euphoric.

>>53534639
most things in life are more complex than calc algebra etc. how-ever math fags are sort of sadists in that they enjoy watching others fail and refuse to explain it in a direct way that makes sense to the person asking the questions. mathmatics is the biggest cock tease head game that psuedo intellectuals love to troll people with. As if you spending 2,000 hours studying math somehow makes you any less retarded. there's still flouride in your water, there's still shit in your food, you're still getting fucked over on rent or real estate. mathmatics is a pursuit of mental masturbation and the climax of mathematics is when non mathematicians attempt and fail math for the first time. college is full of gay and aids and cancer and jackasses that love to posit questions that other people have a difficult time answering and then they turn around and say give me your money for attempting to solve my riddles three. A damn carnival. And the really really dirty secret is that it's pay to win. If you're poor you lose. If you're rich you win. It's that simple. Intelligence is not the factor; it's the time and ability to study because there's nothing else going on in your life plus teachers who are willing to explain things in a logical way and throw you some leeway where necessary. that's pretty much it. College intellectuals always do the most retarded shit the moment they step out of a classroom

>>53532073
just tell them you identify as black and won't do white people math because it's racist.

t.asian

Math doesn't come easy to anyone. Midwits who reply with
>Hurr durr but math comes easy to me you're just a brainlet
are lying to you to make you feel bad.

Math is hard. Simple as. Set a timer and make sure you have no distractions. Study your textbook (a physical book, buy cheap used editions if you need to), work through examples as they're introduced, and grind out practice problems. Attempt everything before looking at answers, and don't be afraid to ask for help. You'll get it, I believe in you.

>>53534235
Anon. You are giving up without a fight. How much have you actually studied? Have you tried different textbooks? Different methods of review and achieving understanding? If this is really the only thing standing in your way, you should go all out- minimum number of credits this semester, 100% of your time not spent doing the bare minimum on those classes should be on your calc class. I get the vibe you are nowhere near that level of pulling out the stops.

What you need to learn right now is not necessarily just calculus, but the ability to teach yourself new information regardless of how novel. In the field of finance, you will be expected to review significant amounts of data, and which of that data is important will change every day. You must be prepared to learn new industries, new technologies at the drop of a hat. THAT is what you must learn this semester - or however long it takes, if you are committed to this path.

Now stop fucking around on the internet. And get back to studying.

>>53534838
that's why you should say you're black and a woman and a coder, easy money and promotions handed out like blowjobs at epstein's breakfast inset in his loft in nyc before he moved to tel aviv.

>>53534838
I tried and failed fucking college algebra three times before I got a teacher that actually explained it in a way that made sense and after that math wasn’t really a problem anymore- I aced Calc 1 and excelled at much harder math for my economics degree and to this day I love math.

Anon you just gotta find the right delivery. I was lucky to have an eastern euro professor that taught in the old iron curtain everyone-will-be-an-engineer way and that somehow really clicked for me. The gay American math profs were too caught up in the “beauty” of it all to try to boil it down to make sense to anyone else.

>>53532073
>CALCULUS STANDS BETWEEN ME AND MAKING IT
No it doesn't. I've been out of school for 8 years at this point and REFERENCES mean a lot more than your degree.

>>53534999
Checked, references aren't an issue for me, my dad already got me an internship for next summer at a bank who's owner he did some work for. That's why I've been having so much anxiety over this stupid calculus class because it is literally my ticket to making it.

>>53535045
No I will not, sir, I will be a young urban professional

Calculus is a complete meme and is literally only included in curriculum as an IQ test 99% of the time.

even If you're a STEM major, do you use calculus at all? Probably fucking not.

>>53532073
Anon, don't give up. Calc 1 was easy, but I ended up taking Calc 2 FOUR FUCKING TIMES, and Only got a D on my last attempt. it's difficult for those if use that refuse to do homework and study, but it is doable. Just keep trying. I'm a Mechanical Engineer by the way. Also just passed my FE on first attempt. Point is, don't switch just grind through it as many times as necessary.

>>53534235
If you can't understand Calc after watching all the youtube videos explaining it, where they literally hold your hand and expertly explain it in the most understandable way possible, then you don't deserve the salary you want.

>>53535088
I didn't watch any youtube videos before now

>>53535088
Wait a second are you telling me that if I actually put effort into this I will pass it and I can't just not study like I do for my other business classes and still get an A

>>53535019
Don't make large-scale resolutions make a small one. To learn calc NOW. Your life won't be "fixed" this semester it will be fucked as you WILL be spending all your free time studying. It's the act of doing this that will eventually lead to understanding, and maybe you hardening your attitude a bit (but that may instead come from endeavors outside class, which you will do... later, after you learn calc). Don't just scrape by, go for an A.

>>53532073
The discipline of maths belongs to the realm of PURE reason, the OG a priori domain of truth.

You do possess the transcendental faculty anon, r-right? Just think about it and you can't go wrong.

>>53535128
> Don't just scrape by, go for an A.
Horrible advice, C's get degrees especially for a bullshit course like calculus. Almost every employer doesn't give a fuck about GPA, they care about experience and internships.

If you're one of the 0.1% of people who will actually use calculus after college, then sure, go for an A.

>>53532073
anon, it's ok. just practice the fundamentals. Math is challenging because it constantly builds upon things and you need to practice the fundamentals especially if you aren't naturally interested in math. I struggled in Calc II but once I got through it the 2nd time through Calc 3, linear alg and diffeqs were easy

What finance area? I'm finance and never did a full calculus class, I did a business math class that had a little calculus but not much and it was easy

>>53532107

>>53535019
Read atomic habits and deep work to help with the incremental changes necessary to get work done.
Doing tough stuff isn't fun, but you gotta pick between the pain of discipline or the pain of regret, you've got it in you.
Also as you study don't worry if it feels like it isn't clicking. Part of the process is feeling stuck, embrace that feeling because it means you're making progress, even if it doesn't feel like it.

>>53535160
Did you even read my post? This isn't about learning calculus it's about learning how to learn and not just roll up in a fetal position in the face of new information. Yea he might not need calc if he's not in quant (though my understanding is fixed income for example actually does use it). But if OP only learns to give up in a discouraging scenario, then in a cutthroat field with semi-quantifiable results such as finance he will not, should not succeed. By putting in the work to learn something new, he will gain the seeds, the psychological tools to go further than his current state.

why are you guys ignoring my racist posts and why don't you just say you're black? we all know blacks aren't ever required (read: trusted) with doing mission critical mathmatical proveribal hoop jumping.

>>53535186
What kind of university did you go to?

>>53535587
lol you're 26 and are over the hill already. sorry bro, heard rent is going up in Daly City, Ca.

I got a D in calc I, an F in calc II, retook calc II and got a.D. But I got an A+ in differential equations, A in analog and digital systems (fourier transform n shit). I'm good at math, but something about fucking calc, its like memorization but with zero practical application. I mean the concepts obviously have applications but solving them by hand doest instead of just using a computer.

>>53532107
It happens. There are many who are superior at quantitative reasoning but visibly bad with verbal, and vice versa. I aced symbolic logic courses but I’m a lot slower at doing numerical problems. No need to act superior for something so trivial. A lot of people don’t realize they’re smarter than they know all thanks to faggots such as yourself.

>>53532073
Anon, don't you fucking give up. I did (CS degree) and it's of my biggest life regrets. The irony of it all is that I'm now in my 30s learning to code by myself (as a hobby and as an added skill), as well studying math just because it's something I always had an interest in. It made me realize that I was just mentally weak in my 20s and not mature enough to know how to deal with challenges that can be overcome by taking new approaches and working harder.

>>53532073

This. Unless you find a professor that only wants you to learn the calculus portion and gives you the algebra parts then you need an algebra tutor. Calculus is easier than algebra.

>>53534235
I failed calc 1 twice before taking it again and getting an A. then I took and passed calc 2, 3, and difeq and with As in those as well. the only thing that changed was I did more practice problems. if you're not lazy, go to your college library tomorrow and check out an introductory book on calc and attempt EVERY problem on the areas you're struggling.

Math is only "easy" for people who find it interesting because they accidentally end up spending a lot of time doing it. But yeah, you're mostly correct. In my high school there was a dude who did math as a hobby on his free time since he was a kid, guess who always got the best math grades lol. It's really just about putting in the hours to learn it. There's no shortcut unfortunately.

>>53532073
Repeat 10 problems until you have the process memorized and don't need to lookat notes. Rinse and repeat until the next set of problems don't require any assistance.
Run back through every problem until flawless. Do this for 45 minutes at a time with 15 minutes break. You'll be good to go after a week for that class of problems

School is ran by kikes and they don't teach you anything important. In fact they misinform you steal your money and waste your time. Education is incredibly important and actionable information will set you free . "School" is not important and is bad for your health. Look at what the liberals are doing. Talking bout teaching kids they're the wrong gender that there's 500 genders, that you should feel bad for being white. In America you've got two flavors of aids. You've got never having a college degree and never getting a good job. And you've got over paying for a college degree and never paying off your student debt. And worst of all which is where I and many others fall attempted a college degree didn't make the cut ended up in debt for life and unable to get a good job. Systems fucked man.

Here you go ; go learn advanced mathematics pay me $70,000 a year for the privilege oh and your teacher literally won't communicate with you. Your text book and study materials costs $500. And if you want to attend study sessions with your classmates make sure to have the latest Macbook, iphone, a great car, your own apartment no room mates, and enough money for Starbucks or what-ever they're going to be drinking up there. Don't forget you'll need another $1,000 for a private tutor because your textbook was written with gibberish on purpose and doesn't directly correlate with the homework / quizzes/ exams

>>53533209
ok nigger

>>53537729
Aha, and here in this post anon figures out that college is only 25% about getting an education, while it is 25% about forging "connections" (nepotism), and 50% making sure you "fit in" to the whole game

Hence why I have had no problems with any of my other classes, even if I don't put much effort into them. You know why? Because I play the game. Art history class? (it's required) I have to write a paper? Ok, let me write about how the white settlers brutally DISPLACED the native inhabitants and now today their descendants show their struggle through art...

I got an A on that paper. Only in more hardcore stem majors is it where you need to put more work in. Hence after I get calc 1 done I am pretty sure the rest of college will be a breeze due to me already having completed some of my upper level classes

I was a great student but I still used the tutoring / homework help center or office hours a couple times for higher-level classes. We had some shitty lecturers in the math department, no shame in this. If the professors know you care and show up to some office hours you're likely to do better.

If you are struggling at math, chances are your foundations are shit.

I've seen it plenty of times, pretty smart people who fucking suck at math because they spent a majority of their childhood refusing to do homework that taught fundamentals and basic principles. Then they start 'trying' in their senior years but obviously give up because how the fuck are you supposed to understand things like derivatives if you don't understand preceding concepts (i.e. what's a function)?

If you truly take your time and build your understanding of math from the ground up, you'll find it isn't that hard. There'll be a couple of tricky thinking questions that might take a while to reason out but it's fucking Calc I, not something like proofs.

OP, be glad it's just Calc I. You have more than enough time to start at the foundations, and don't lie to yourself; even if it's an extremely simple concept you're not fully understanding, go back and revisit it until you understand it. Plenty of resources out there no matter what your learning style is.

So edgy

Cant you just use chatgpt to solve your homework and also explain how it got to its solutions? I got filtered by calc too but that was 10 years ago when this tech didnt exist. I imagine school is so much easier now that you can have everything explained to you by AI
Also school is obviously bullshit. So is working. Dont let anyone call you dumb. There are plenty of smart people that do nothing with their intelligence but actively make the world a better place. If you know how to apply yourself practically you will easily end up more successful than the brainiacs who only know how to solve vanity problems

How is that going to help you on an exam? Most people can't learn math just by reading through the answers

>>53538111
Idk I think it would help. A lot of exam problems are just homework problems rewritten
Also it really grinds my gears knowing that students are getting discouraged and filtered because they dont understand things they will never have to use in the real world. I majored in psychology so I didnt have to deal with this shit. Its such a waste of time and energy

>>53532073
What is the textbook you use.

>>53532073
I failed calc IV first opportunity exam. What I did to get distinction three weeks later is to actually open the textbook and doing the exercises at the end of each chapter. There's a site where people can submit answers of the entire process of an exercise. Can't remember the name, but look into it. Made me understand some things a lot better.

>>53534235
Hey anon, if you're still here!

Fuck what other people say, they probably don't know anything either way and are just projecting their insecurities onto you.

Watch Professor Leonard Calculus 1 playlist.
You'll understand better with him. If you find out you're lacking background knowledge to understand, then go a little further back.

You'll get it, don't sweat it.

It could be worse, you could be incredibly smart and still be a failure. I destroyed Calculus I, II and differential equations I & II with a 99% in all 4 classes before I was 19. The professor was so shocked how easy it came to me, he pushed for me to work as a tutor at the college for advanced math which paid $24/hr. He encouraged me to become a Math professor one day and I said it didn't interest me and now I work for barely above min. wage working along side people who can't do basic algebra in my late 20s. My life is a joke, but I don't feel sorry for myself, I'm just dumbfounded how it got this bad. I'm probably going to go into a profession which is also filled with insufferable idiots because I don't have any will power to pursue something more at my level.

>>53533396
Flashcards. That's the secret to almost everything. You can brute force information into your head at lightning speed and retain the information for a year+. The most mundane things in life can be solved with 10-20 flashcards. I had 50 flashcards for my entire statistics class and I got a 104% on that, probably 8 hours of studying total. The rest of the time I was trying to bang some Taiwanese slut in my class (I did).

>>53534639
Not necessarily true, I'd say mental illness is the great filter, you could be extremely gifted and still fail at life.

I get it, math can be kind of abstract and difficult to wrap your mind around sometimes, but there's really nothing more inherently difficult about calculus than algebra or trigonometry. You're just not used to it yet. It takes some people more time to learn and absorb these concepts, but you should keep trying, and dispel this notion that you're simply too dumb to get it. I had to drop out of college algebra I on my first attempt because it was too hard at the time, but I eventually was able to pass calc I&II, discrete math and linear algebra with my lowest grade being a B. I was still the same person with the same level of intelligence, but my ability to conceptualize math-related concepts improved with practice

>>53539907
>side 1: title of concept
>side 2: answer to concept and additional notes linking concepts to other concepts
That's it man, brute force it. You don't need to be smart to ace a class, but you need to be really smart to destroy a subject. Once you memorize a concept, talk out loud and pretend you're teaching it to someone else, you'll reinforce the concept even more. Then the next day, recall it in your head and teach it again without looking at the flashcards. 1 week later, refresh flashcards. Congratulations, you'll now remember this thing for a year or more.

Anon? You left the convolution part of your paper blank. Why didn't you answer the questions?

when you dont have the natural ability it's all about rote repetition
I'm horrendous at math and managed to barely pass algebra and mathematical analysis by doing hundreds of solved exercises by hand

>>53532073
i don't understand why normies find calc so hard. it's rote memorization for the most part. you aren't writing proofs or doing anything "difficult." i struggled a little with calc 3 because my retard brain can't into 3 dimensions, but it's not that bad.

I knew it. But then why not just come out and say that to me? Why all these games all these years?

lol yep guess this thread has been milked dry. happy nigger month, niggers. Hulu just told me you're the most American of Americans so I guess it's really all ogre.

>>53532073
I run a course cheating side hustle so I would offer to take the course for you but it's likely that your later courses would be dependent on it so there's no point. Watch the Essence of Calculus from 3blue1brown on youtube, and go through Professor Leonard's calculus playlist. They're more focused on intuitive understanding than rote memorization which is basically required for calculus.

You can brute force this class with memorization like a Chinese chemistry student. Start the following
- kahn academy videos to review what learned after class
- drill problems everyday. Check work in back of book, and make corrections
- flash cards


It's really not about intelligence to pass this.

Actually the entire field is making incredible discoveries and making airtight arguments for them with logic. You just didn't get far enough to know.

passed vector calculus with a 90.

HOLY SHIT. There are people who can't get a Finance degree because of Calculus? I did that in high school.

Do you have family connections or are you delusional lmao

>>53532073

Should've gone with IT. Not CODING, but IT.

I have bachelors from a shitty state school, did it all online. Before that I got my associates at a rinky dink community college.

Now I work from home, make close to 6 figs despite only being in the field for 2 years, and have a wider skillset. Financecucks btfo forevermore.

>>53532073
I was a homeschooling neet fucking illiterate retard and I got into uni and passed Calc 1 with 3 hours of work into it a week. You are somehow dumber than me

It's not an intelligence thing it's an effort problem, I have skirted by in all my other classes and now I'm throwing a fit that I have to actually put some effort in. I am actually quite more intelligent than you.

>>53543344
Family connections. Seriously

>>53532073
Math major here. Study harder and utilize the teachers office hour. You need to be grinding problems at least 3 hours a night. And the problems you get stuck on, you need to be bringing them to your math teacher the next day and getting a detailed explanation. That's basically it.

I already made $20 an hour working construction before I went to college and I have everything paid for me and I have more crypto than you guaranteed. I will pass calc 1 and breeze through the rest of college and make 110k/year starting working under my dad's banker friend

Your demoralization is not working. I am fitter, more attractive than you, wealthier than you, have better career prospects than you, can lift heavier weights than you, have had more female attention than you, and yes, I do in fact have more crypto than you guaranteed. Thanks fantom. I had one mess up with calculus and losers like you go total war on me because you hate your life so much that you come here to be an asshole. Good day sir.

you only need 8th grade math to make it in life

everything else is just faggy extrapolations of it

For the anons who have "made it", what would you do if you have a bachelors in business administration but spent the last 4 years working as a CSR at a call center? How the fuck do you get out of this hellhole?

This is truly an american thread, finance as a major and can't even do basic math but thinks he can work in this field
If this is a serious thread, seriously what the fuck just go study hard one week and it's done for the semester

>>53532073
i failed pre-calc my 1st attempt in community college, and passed on my 2nd attempt by the skin of my teeth.

When I transferred to a 4 year university and took calc 1 I passed with an A+ on my first attempt.

Sure, innate ability matters, but so does effort. I'd like to hear all the determinist fags itt explain my situation to me.

>>53534795
>how-ever math fags are sort of sadists in that they enjoy watching others fail and refuse to explain it in a direct way that makes sense to the person asking the questions.

Anyone who cockteases does so to avoid revealing that they don't master the subject to begin with, which is most people that "know" math and especially calculus. They're dilettantes with a credible layer of rehearsed tricks.

Anyone who needs to get advice on how to pass math from a mongolian basket weaving is NGMI tho. Newton invented it while waiting out the plague in a time where the only math available was conic sections by some greekfags 2k years prior.

You have no excuse so you just run your mouth hoping to cope by drowning out that little inner voice who, unburdened by the layer of self-delusions you coddle yourself with, can't stop chuckling at what a gargantuan failure it knows you are deep down.

pay for a good tutor. It's possible to pass, don't you worry. The people who understand calculus are normal humans just like you and if they can do it so can you

>>53536518
No way I went to UMD too. Calc I was easy II was hard because it was trig functions and exceptions to the rules, 3 was the easiest, it was just Calc I with multivariables. But I made it through that to get a Statistics minor and now I have a piss easy WFH job as a statistican.

>>53532073
Just repeatedly do exercises and problems with solutions until you can do problems with answers in the back of the book and then do the problems without answers in the back of the book and get sweaty until you find out how to find those answers. Probably don't even think about the concepts. Concepts are nice but if you can't mechanically grind through problems then your conceptual knowledge won't be reflected in your grade. Probably. Very probably.

>>53532182
>Some of us are dealt a bad hand in life
>>53532073
IDK your situation but, for me, I never learned how to do any of this while sitting in class. When I taught, I tried to teach mostly how to do example problems that weren't covered in the book or didn't have answers in the book. Once you do enough problems from each section, your internal classifier will see that it's the same thing over and over again on some level. It's just that there are components of that same thing that perhaps you forgot how to do properly. Believe it or not, adding fractions for example trips people up even in DiffEq. Why that is, is simply a matter of practice. Most don't use it, so they forget, but learning it well the first time makes Platonic recall easier.

>>53532073
I haven't seen this brought up enough, lol. So I always grew up thinking I wanted to do comp sci. Sadly I got filtered by basic pre-calculus. I failed it twice. Switched to English and I'm in my senior year of college. Let's hope it works out for me.

>>53532182
Anon I'm a fucking moron and I aced Calc 1, 2, 3 and diffy Q.
This of the problems like a puzzle, and just learn the rules to solve the puzzle.

>>53535849
If you can't do math you are inferior, simple as.

Learning the arbitrary rules of language is much less important than learning the rules of the physical world, math is the first step toward understanding the universe you live in.

>>53532182
Anon
Derivative of x^y is yx^(y-1)
Integral of x^y is (x^(y+1))/(y+1)

How is this shit hard?

there is more than just calculous between you and "making it."

>>53532073
Calc is used to weed out the weak. If your school resorted to it it means they are too busy flushing out idiots later on. I'm sorry.
