Calc is all pretty self-explanatory. Don't worry about it.

>done a lot of math
>never taken calculus

pick one

>>9660858

nigga an integral is just big sigma over reals. derivative is the inverse of that.

>>9660887
Not all colleges force you to do calc for unrelated classes

I got into Math through formal logic, then took discrete math , then did abstract algebra and computation theory, automata theory , cryptography& number theory

That's what my main interests are

That's a problem if you're not in high school. Calculus is basic math any math student should know.

Anyway, acquaint yourself with limits and then move on to derivatives. After that you could move on to integration, since integrating a function is equivalent to taking its anti-derivative

how did you calculate complexity classes without calc?

>>9660905

How did you do ECC without calc?

>took classes on abstract algebra, formal logic, etc.
>never bothered to sign up for a single calculus course
Dude honestly what the fuck?

>>9660912
It just wasn't interesting and I wasn't a true math major so faculty were fine.
>>9660908
>>9660909
Wait , is that calc?
I just kinda did them , with a lot of help and study

What the fuck is taught in a calculus course anyway? I did calculus of finite difference equations

>What the fuck is taught in a calculus course anyway?
In a typical intro to calc course you'll deal with limits, derivatives, integrals, etc.

But since you're accustomed to abstraction and rigor, you could take an analysis 1 course and move on from there. It shouldn't be difficult for you

>>9660915

well, consider what a tangent is: a point and slope at that point. you get the slope by calculating the derivative.

thus you know what a derivative is

an integral is also known as an anti-derivative

now you know all there is to know.

>>9660905
Yes yes, you "did" formal logic, set theory, abstract algebra, cryptography & number theory. Let me guess, it was all in one discrete math course.

$10 says OP is a CSfag who taught themselves pseudo-math like type and category theory.

>>9662035
no it was all the real classes. as you can see i already listed discrete math.
>>9662046
no sorry.

>>9662046

>type theory and category theory are pseudo-math
What did she mean by this?

>>9660905
Where do you study fucking devry?

>>9662267
No
