Calculus in high school felt like I was learning fucking nonsensical gibberish and I ended up dropping the course halfway through because my monkey brain literally could not comprehend it. Then, I retook it at a community college and got a B+ so I dunno. I got a C+ in Calc 2, and now I have to retake Calc 3. I think it's just a matter of doing practice problems over and over again. I probably should have tried harder in Calc 3, but I got kind of cocky after making it through Calc 2 on my first try because everyone seems to bitch about it being literally impossible for some reason. Wish me luck, faggots.

I took Calc 4 and linear algebra with the same teacher (was working at uni but no phd). I dropped out of college that semester with no plans to return.

One night a few years later, I was drunk with friends and they wanted to see how bad my transcript was. When I checked, I saw I was given a c+ in both the classes despite only finishing half the semester.

I asked around and found out he massively fucked up teaching the classes when the head of the math dept. had to leave unexpectedly. The teacher was fired and everyone in his classes were given passing grades.

Because I passed those, I was able to be admitted to upper division classes and finished my degree 1.5 years later.

For the rest of my physics and math classes, I had all a's and b's. I legit might not have finished college if it wasn't for that night and the fluke.

In Calc I you have to learn how to learn higher math while still learning the basics. It's like not ever having hands, forcibly sprouting some on a whim, and then learning a sign language.

Take it again. You will do better the second time.
Sometimes you need to take more than one run at this stuff, especially if you were maxed out on classes and exhausted the first time.

When I learned what Calculus and Linear Algebra were actually used for later in life it makes a lot more sense than when I was taking it in university

We were just dropped into doing these fucked up equations without clear explanations of all the conventions being used and what purpose they served and why I would need them to get my degree (I didn't need it for the rest of my degree).

Just finished Calc IV, which was the final calc here. Done with calc, diffeq, and linear algebra. I am above the fucking moon right now that I never have to do a math class again.

That being said, calc I is stupid easy, m8. Try harder.

Also get a ti-nspire CAS edition if your professor is still behind the curve on those. They solve integrals n shit, plus they have a notepad that you can store notes in. Cheated my way through chemistry and math with that thing. They may be a little more strict about them in early calc where you're just learning to differentiate and integrate, but can get away with it.more in later calc's

when you're a first generation college student (and there are a lot of those now that everyone goes to college) it can be difficult to figure out how to jump through the hoops
imagine your parents are retarded poorfag workerdrones. you get told you're "really smart" in high school. then you go to university, take out a huge loan, live in an apartment for the first time, surrounded with irresponsible drunk people, you likely have anxiety and depression, and try to pass a full semester load, when you aren't accustomed to mostly teaching yourself the material. it's a recipe for failure.

I know this is a meme but failing math classes has much more to do with not understanding pre-requisite topics, not studying efficiently, and having bad work ethic than IQ (especially for plug and chug classes like calc 1/2), so try again if you feel that describes you.
What you will realize very quickly when taking quantitative courses is that while you may be able to pass the prereqs with say, a B or C or just by cramming, that is not sustainable and you will build up a deficit of knowledge that eventually leads to you getting Ds and Fs and having to go back and learn these topics properly anyways. Good luck.

>>14573673
As I said in >>14582684 , I think you should also avoid focusing on memorization and grinding as much as possible. You should try to fundamentally understand the topic, that will still require studying and you're going to want to do a few questions to make sure you understood it well, but just being able to mechanically do the problem has no real value and is a trap that will lead to you failing further quantitative courses.

I've started explaining it to myself and making notes. Once you actually understand it and won't just memorize, it's gonna be much easier.
As for how I get myself to learn? I really just said that fuck it, I MUST do it, sat down and learned. It was shit because I'm lazy and it's kinda hard for me to concentrate on things that I don't actually want to do, but I bruteforced myself until I actually got immersed into the subject.
