If you want to make sure we know the material then ask questions that require some actual thinking and can't just be throw into the calculator to be solved. You are not teaching us calculus you are forcing us to do hours of pointless algebra that could be done in seconds on a calculator. We know fucking algebra, we did for 12 fucks years, if we didn't know it would be in the easier class designed for retards to pass to fill the math requirement.I wanted to learn calculus not review fucking algebra.
