Have you never taken calculus two? how do you integrate a rational function with a higher power in the numerator than the denominator?

Lel, most math PhDs that aren't into real anal or something like that (even some that are into it) are shit at basic calc. That doesn't mean you shouldn't take a course on it.

Come to think of algebra is nothing but rote skill and only people who can unironically like it are autists who get excited at any inkling of symmetry.

I actually find both of those things fun because of the repetition. Whenever I'm bored, sometimes I'll multiply out things like (x+5)^10 or something.

That is why you never calculate indefinite integrals in practice. Whoever had the + C idea instead of proposing an alternative = sign is a faggot anyways.
