are you implying imaginary numbers have no practical uses?

have you ever studied circuit analysis?
how about quantum mechanics?

Studying: How do you study best? What subjects are you just bad at studying/doing homework for? How do you stay motivated?

I'll start

Right now struggling to study triple integrals in calc 3, can NOT stay focused on it, also bad at sketching graphs.

How fucked am I?

OP here and thanks.

Calc 2 was definitely harder than calc 1, especially with the infinite series like the other anon said. Fuck Taylor series bullshit

I think I just struggled in Calc 2 because it was a normal Calc 2 course that was crammed into 23 days. The class needed multiple hours of studying each night, which is hard to study when I'm working roughly 30-40 hour weeks right now. I'll be taking Calc 3 in the fall semester and I'm thinking it will be easier now that I will have a lot more time to study. Pic related is how I looked after my final today.

One thing that pisses me off is when there a faggots in the class that bitch about how hard the summer course is and how they are struggling to keep a C, even though they don't have a job. I didn't work a whole lot, but god damn if I can get an A (albeit barely) while working at the same time then you fucks should fucking bitch at all.

There is literally no excuse that you couldn't maintain a descent A when you don't have a job. Hell, even if you do have a job you should be able to maintain a descent A. I had a 94.5 before the final but I will admit that I was being lazy this last week and didn't study enough. Still made it though.
