Brainlet who only took calc 1 here, just how hard does math get? Is there any way you guys could explain it in layman's terms?

>> No.10099883

You want us to explain ALL the math?

>> No.10099887

>>10099876

the numbers of theorems presented in a course is inversely proportional to the difficulty of said theorems.

fear the course with less than 10 theorems.

So this is this is the power of undergrads browsing sci.

math doesn't get harder
it gets easier because you're building the foundations to understand things

it gets significantly more complex in terms of time investment, but the understanding and reasoning gets easier

If you're talking about undergrad courses ie differential, calc 1-3, it's not really that difficult.
calc 3 is basically calc 1 except you add more integrals and stuff is more intuitive, not necessarily harder as long as you know how to get derivatives and antiderivatives. Same for DE.
