How do you fail pre-calc bro?

I just took an exam for that class monday and i got a 93

engineering sucks anyways. be an art major or something.

also go to fucking office hours retard

>precalculus at community college
Trig is trig. I don't see how it can be harder at a different college

Either way how the fuck?

How did you fail precalc?
Did you try your hardest, study, go to lectures? I mean jesus if you put in some honest effort you should be passing.

you need to spend more time doing maths and less time on 4chan.

Just took calc 1 final. Last math course was
"Fuctions" 7 years ago in high school. I studied for a total of exactly zero minutes the entire semester.

Got a 92. One guy did better, who studied for allegedly 10 hours just this week, and has told me he studies for 5 hours a week normally. He got like a 95 or 96. I think I motivate him to work his ass off because I don't do shit and score near him on everything.

The rest of the class are mouth breathers who all are going to scrape Cs.

lol cool xD
how did u do it

>>4142666

lmao. taking AP Calc in 11th grade.

>precalculus

Yup there goes your dream. Because believe it or not its not a bullshit course or undergrad cannon fodder meant to weed out people who didn't take it seriously (like you). You will see all the concepts again as an engineer whether its mechanics. E&M, fluids, thermo, or even signal processing.

But congratulations on fucking up your future

MFW idiots invade /sci/ to perform fellatio on themselves for being geniuses... Seriously, how low does your self-esteem have to be? I just feel bad... I'm not even mad.

>>4142666
Honestly there's no excuse for failing a math class when you have a book and access to the internet. I feel no sympathy for you.

Take the class again and study this time, faggot.

>That feel when I failed precalc at CC too.
>That epic feel when I retook it and aced it.
to be fair the 1st time was some bullshit where you 'work at your own pace.' AKA Pay for a class and then don't get any lectures and just learn from the book. I could've done that shit for free at the library...

haha you cant pass precalc?
diff eq & linear algebra master race checkin in

>that feel when community college wont let you start at anything above college algebra
fucking money grabbing faggots

>>4142990

shut the fuck up, lower division math

>>4142863
This.

>>4142675
Also, remember you needed somewhere to live and clean water to drink? Engineering does, art does not.

/sci/, when did you become full of self-important douchebags?

>>4142666
>engineering dream

You dream of penis in your mouth?

>>4142990

>diff eq & linear algebra master race checkin in

LOL.

>Bragging about Diff EQs and Linear Algebra.

Come back to me after you've taken Abstract Algebra and Analysis. Baby Herstein and Rudin are waiting for you.

Pre calc was the hardest math I've ever taken. I'm learning Calc III right now.

>>4143017
Not sarcasm I hope because I know that feel. Just finished Calc II

>>4142990
Yeah 60 kids from my high school did that during their senior year. You're not impressing anyone.

>>4143015
>I'm a junior not a sophomore. That means I'm cool, right? right?

>>4143015

>enjoy all your useless abstract math

all the math you need for ANYTHING useful is up to calc 3, linear & diff eqn, stats, and discrete maths

anything above that is just a math circle jerk for fags who think
>P.hD in math
>300k
its all bullshit unless you actually use that math and become an actuary

>>4142836
so smart
xD
also reported

>>4142836
I always felt like only people who took AB calculus use the term AP Calc to mask the fact that they did not take the more difficult BC Calc class.

>linear algebra, Diff Equations


Come back when you're in the midst of a masters degree in mathematics and programming artificial intelligence with capabilities of learning to adapt to different topological sequences.


no sweats OP, just get back up and try again. Your dreams aren't over cause you fucked up once. Your dreams are over cause you say it's over.

>>4143032

ya but then what are you gonna brag about?

I know a lot of people are perplexed that OP failed precalc. I agree it's an easy course and all, but pay more attention will you? There's a reasonable explanation for why OP failed. She's a woman.

calc II has so far been the hardest for me, everthing before was pretty easy. never took pre calc tho

>>4142836
got a 5 on the calc BC exam in ninth grade, big whoop.

>>4143049
Seriously? I'm doing a masters in system sciences and dealing a lot with topology. I'm working on the applied side like yourself.

Also i'm proud of the mature gentlemen of /sci/ who do not condescend on failure and only give advice to help him up.

>>4143063
Pre calc is algebra. You've never taken algebra?
I

>>4143032
I don't understand why the more specific and discrete a form of math is, the more it's called "abstract"

that doesn't make sense to me.

>>4143049
Topological sequences? Tell me more. I'm a CSfag, and I've had some statistical NLP and some topology, but I don't know anything about the intersection.

>>4143076
yes one and two in highschool. just never taken a course called pre calc

>taking pre-calc in the first place

>>4142666
don't feel bad brother. learn your basics well and try to understand it from the ground up. think of them as puzzles and try to explain it to yourself when you learn something. do a lot of problems and see if you can find such patterns in nature and such.

i admit precalc is pretty basic, but the lower level classes are more focused on repetition and rigor in detail than rigor in concepts. with practice you might make out just fine.

>>4142666

Should of watched Khan Academy videos.

>>4143067
yes /sci/ should be a mature board, but we cant really make that happen.
all ill say is never give up. if you really want something you can get it

dump

>studied for allegedly 10 hours just this week

>I motivate him to work his ass off

You think that's a lot? get up to your 300/400 level courses and studying that much will get you a C- at best.

>>4142666
I thought pre-calc was harder than calc. I got a C in pre-calc and a A in calc 1-3.

too many concepts getting thrown at you when you can't understand them well enough conceptually without normal calc imo. it was a bigger step up going from algebra-->pre-calc than from pre-calc-->calc

If you showed up to class and looked at the homework than maybe you should consider treating your ADD.

take the class again
pay for a tutor
do your homework as soon as it is assigned

people arent magically born smart
they work hard and make sacrifices you havent

>that feel when you can't enjoy christmas because no friends

If you haven't taken stochastic calculus you don't know shit about math

I've always sucked at maths.

I could've probably understood it if I actually would've studied, but I never did, so all I ever got was average to below average grades.

I know it's a shame, but I just don't care about solving endless equations by hand.

op, this will help you.
(i hope u got a demonoid account bro)
