Calc 1

[Anonymous No.11024846]

Let's be honest: if you struggle with this, you should leave this board. This is high school level in other countries.

Derivatives are easypeasy, integrals are fucking hard

[Anonymous No.11024863]

>>11024850
Derivatives are literally 3 or so algorithms. For some integrals you have to think a bit. But it doesn't look like you're doing any super hard ones in calculus 1.

Well integration by parts was something I understood for all of five seconds then I just used the formula after that

I dont know any of this and im about to start my math degree. Its okay because university is a place to learn, if I knew all the stuff already university would be useless

>university would be useless
I'm just saying, that what you call university is called high school in most other countries and virtually everyone does it.

Couple weeks into calculus 1 now, doing well, already past the chain rule and beyond. Quotient rule was a joke. Product rule remains my specialty.

I ask my professor his thoughts on quantum mechanics and partial derivatives. He's impressed i know about the subject. We converse after class for some time, sharing mathematical insights; i can keep up. He tells me of great things ahead like series and laplacians. I tell him i already read about series on wikipedia. He is yet again impressed at my enthusiasm. What a joy it is to have your professor visibly brighten when he learns of your talents.

And now I sit here wondering what it must be like to be a brainlet, unable to engage your professor as an intellectual peer. All of the deep conversations you people must miss out on because you aren't able to overcome the intellectual IQ barrier that stands in the way of your academic success... it's so sad. My professor and I know each other on first name basis now, but i call him Dr. out of respect.

And yet here you brainlets sit, probably havent even made eye contact with yours out of fear that they will gauge your brainlet IQ levels.

A true shame, but just know it is because i was born special that i am special. I can't help being a genius, nor can my professor. Two of a kind is two flocks in a bush.

That comes in cal 2 though

[Anonymous No.11024938]

>>11024923
You Americans. In Canada, calc isn't divide by numbers. I did what you would consider up to calc 2 in high school and then I did it again in first year uni with a biology spin and then I did another calculus that just barely touched upon diffyq. But we didn't do sequences or proofs. So the calc part was ahead of you guys but we don't do as much

[Anonymous No.11025067]

>>11025061
Not sure what the topics are. I just looked up calc 1 because there were several threads about it. It's basically a subset of the second last year of German high school (Gymnasium)

I never talked much to my professors because they would literally tremble in my presence. Not something I'd want, I'd mainly remain quiet in the classes, but when they'd say something they were unsure of and look to see the reaction on my face, which I'd normally keep blank and expressionless as to try to not insight more fear in them not wanting to let them know that they were brainlets in my presence. They knew anyways.

I honestly chalk it up to I don't give a fuck about mental masturbation via mathematics. Give me the formula so I can plug and chug.

Stop blocking yourself. You seem to be clever enough. Drop the fear/prejudice and be open. You'll manage. I've taught students like you before. Those who don't study, who always want the formula to plug and play without thinking at the ones who fail. Those who do the homework, who try to solve the exercises by thinking, not by looking up formulas like a telephone number, are the ones who ace the exam. And I don't think that one group is more clever than the other, one is just closed. I don't know if that's because of traumata from school off because they have been told that maths is not for them.

Nah, if you struggle with this, you should keep trying and don't let people bring you down.

It's not the specific details of your math courses that are relevant to you, but the quantitative intuition and reasoning practice. It's absolutely applicable to your life if you want to think about anything novel at all in your preferred field. You can't plug and chug unsolved problems. Why are you aspiring to be a robot?

Honestly, I think you're more fit for the medical route with all the sciences. Calc isn't even necessary in medicine. All the people who say Calc is super important are the ones going CS, engineering, stuff like that. Literally, if you got algebra down, then you're set for life, dude. Don't kill yourself over it.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as calculus, is in fact, real analysis, or as I've recently taken to calling it
[math] \left( \mathbf R,\, +,\, \times,\, \leqslant,\, \left| \cdot \right|,\, \tau \,=\, \left\{ A \,\subset\, \mathbf R \mid \forall x\,\in\, A,\, \exists \varepsilon \,>\, 0,\, \left] x \,-\, \varepsilon,\, x \,+\, \varepsilon\right[ \,\subset\, A \right\},\, \bigcap_{\begin{array}{c} A \,\sigma \text{-algebra of}\, \mathbf R \\ \tau \,\subset\, A \end{array}} A,\, \ell \right) [/math]-analysis. Calculus is not a branch of mathematics unto itself, but rather another application of a fully functioning analysis made useful by topology, measure theory and vital [math]\mathbf R[/math]-related properties comprising a full number field as defined by pure mathematics.

Many mathematics students and professors use applications of real analysis every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the application of real analysis which is widely used today is often called "Calculus", and many of its users are not aware that it is merely a part of real analysis, developed by the Nicolas Bourbaki group.

There really is a calculus, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the field they use. Calculus is the computation process: the set of rules and formulae that allow the mathematical mind to derive numerical formulae from other numerical formulae. The computation process is an essential part of a branch of mathematics, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete number field. Calculus is normally used in combination with the real number field, its topology and its measured space: the whole system is basically real numbers with analytical methods and properties added, or real analysis. All the so-called calculus problems are really problems of real analysis.

Yeah sure you can treat Calc 1 as another high school math class with doing non dimensional and subconscious computing of numbers, letters, and symbols in memorized deductions and protocols of approaching problems, but it's greater than that. It's the description of the world on one of the highest levels of abstraction. Or at least the start of telling that story. I fucking obsessed about that in calc 1 and where these patterns immerse in other phenomena and within my own deductive reasoning/logic. I got lost on tests because of this, because I constantly derailed the math drilling flow state required for taking math tests.
