You couldn't use the textbook to teach yourself?

Calc 3 was borderline fun. It was calc 1 but you do it 3x

I think it is integral that you derive that on your own. There is a limit to what we can help you with.

Once took a CM class, somebody in my group project looked at me like I was Einstein when I told him that I was in Calc 3.
He didn't realized that Calc 2, 3, etc. were real classes

I found it to be the easiest if the advanced math classes I took.
Algebra III can go frick itself.

If it was supposed to be easy, they would teach it in 3rd grade instead of multiplication and division.

Wasn’t anything special. In middle school they offered a test, and then gave parents the option to put their kids in algebra in 7th grade. They bumped up like a third of the students.

Just go to a community college and get a operator degree baw. More money and less stressful than that shite

Is it the concepts themselves? Are limits, derivatives and integrals inherently challenging? Is it difficult because of gaps in precursor knowledge like exponents and logarithms?
Rofl if you think that's bad dont take Signals and Systems where you express everything in a Series and/or then use transformations to express things in the time or frequency domain.

8th derivatives are a bitch

It's easier than trig or algebra.

Since most math teachers are shitty at explaining the concepts it makes it seem hard. If you get a good one it is not that hard. Check out Khan Academy....he does a good job.

Only fricking idiots find calculus to be difficult. Calculus was one of the easiest classes I ever took, in high school and college. Not hard whatsoever.

For all the cats saying its not hard and you’re dumb- they are full of SHITE!
I am a successful business owner, and worked at some pretty decent executive levels in the companies I worked for before I owned my own.
When I was a practicing engineer- I was pretty damn good, and many people said I might be the best pure structural guy they worked with.
Calculus kicked my arse. Period.
My wife is a PhD Chem E and might be the smartest person I have ever met- she is the ONLY person I have ever met that said calculus was fun. Consider that for a sec.

Sung Woo Su? I could barely understand him in differential equations.
