>mfw the chain rule

everyone in my class is like OMG THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE but I think it's really fun, I go all crazy and see how much I can simplify the end result. It feels less like math and more like a logic puzzle.

Confirmed for high school student. Enjoy your ban.

How's pre-algebra going for you OP

Not necessarily. I have met a sad number of freshman college students that this could easily describe.

Seriously, /sci/. Come the fuck on. Step up your game.

You can't even claim 'trolling;' it's just poor knowledge.

In most college math curriculums, from my experience, modern analysis and real algebra go side by side. If we are talking about "calculus" being the "how to use calculus," then calculus comes before algebra.

Use subscript c with variables which need to act as constants. It's easy-as-pie from there. Just give me credit. On exams, state "employing the usage of the Shiro rule." That, or ''rebirth rule.''

When you say 'pre-algebra,' that usually translates to "before people even know what polynomials are" algebra. In the states(I'm assuming you're yuropoor), this is how it goes:

Arithmetic.
Pre-Algebra.
Introductory Algebra.
Intermediate Algebra/Trigonometry.
Pre-Calculus / Adv. Trigonometry.
Calculus I, II, III.
ODE.(sometimes taken after calc II, other times taken during. sometimes taken after calc 3).
Adv. Calculus / Analysis I.
Abstract Algebra / Modern Algebra / Group Theory / Ring Theory, Fields / Lie Groups, etc, etc.

That's usually the format. The guy who 'laughed' when you(or some other anon) referred to the chain rule being in pre-algebra has all merit, given that he's from the states. I see your point now though, since I'm in the higher-end courses and I've seen it all come together.
