Calculus is fun

>>14793174
Calculus is a purely anglo-american phenomen. People study analysis, separating the theoretical from the computational makes no sense.

To answer your question, no calculus is not that important in other fields of mathematics, but it can pop up. Algebraic topology, algebraic geometry, commutative algebra -- no calculus.

What exactly is the difference between analysis and calc?

>>14793174
its the foundation of many physics and lower level mathematics used in natural sciences. Basically it's much more important for an engineer to approximate the highest value of production over time or the speed of the increade than knowing what group symmetries or prime ideals exist in his problems.

Why is that a bad thing?

The "I heart science" people are the types that don't actually know what science is beyond memescience pages... I hope you don't think an education is bad :(

>>14793257
>an education
worthlessly memorizing ZOG lies in the academic/government brainwashing camp isn't "an education"

>>14793250
>>14793257
but, it is fun. To self learn at least

>>14793174
calculus is pretty straightforward.
to be fluent in science, you need to also learn differential equations and tensors

You have any suggestions on learning them? I understand the process but they've always been mentally intimidating to me.

>>14793268
So what is an education then? In what way is Calc brainwashing lol?

>The "I heart science" people are the types that don't actually know what science is beyond memescience pages
Yeah, unlike us 4channelers who frickin heart math, yet only understand it to a 6th grade level.

4chaners hate science

>>14793199
Calculus classes skip most of the proofs.

>>14793174
Do you need to learn Algebra before going into any other fields of higher mathematics? Why is Algebra so important to everything else? Is the foundation of higher maths all dependent on Algebra? Yes I know I'm a brainlet and this is a retarded question thanks for helping the retarded.

Good thing we're on 4channel

Aww, anon thinks he's smart because he knows what a category is.

Intersting thing is, in Israeli education, we have something called "Hedwa" which is calculus but teached at high school and then at uni you continue to "infinitesimal analysis" which is just real analysis.

>>14793174
In a broad way, almost every field of math connects to analysis
you can however study undergrad set theory, topology and maybe even algebra without interacting with derivatives and integrals and what not (you'll still bump into continuity in topology)

But the crux of the matter is why you are asking your question, you are either
A) getting filtered by calculus, in which case I'd say you stand no chance understanding real math
B) you're a teen that wants to go too fast for his own good, in which case you can just brush up on the very basic results of derivatives and integrals (I'm talking literally reading a few articles) and then jump into an analysis book, which will give you a reality check

Actually, I think I'm smart because my mom says I'm smart, fucking faggot.

>>14793389
I wish my mom was proud of me to :'(

>>14793374
4chaner is the proper etnonym for 4channel and 4chan grugs

>>14793293
some of the simpler differential equations can be solved using the Laplace transform, educate yourself on the connection
