Ask a CC student who's taking calculus next semester anything.

CC stands for Community College.

Calculus is some math that a physicist invented.

What's CC

does that mean you are close or far from graduation?

>> No.3211580

I won't ask you anything, but I will tell you, calculus is when math really starts getting fun. Just took Calculus and Discrete Math last term and almost switched my major to math right then and there.

Why.

>> No.3211595

What math did you start with in college? What grades did you make in those courses? Was it difficult for you? How often did you study?

Is that picture of you?

As a former CC student that took calculus, years ago


why does this thread exist

>> No.3211642

>>3211595
I first placed into Algebra l 2 years ago. I've only took Algebra l/ll and recieved an A on both. I've studied alot. I have stacks of notebooks with nothing but algebra and trig problems.

hurr durr I smart now you dumb CC student


I bet you only started in CC to save money and not because you did bad in highschool.

Anything?

d/dx (log(2^x x^2)) = 2/x+log(2)

You said anything

A trough of water is 8 meters deep and its ends are in the shape of isosceles triangles whose width is 5 meters and height is 2 meters. If water is being pumped in at a constant rate of . At what rate is the height of the water changing when the water has a height of 120 cm?

Are you looking forward to differential equations? I liked differential equations.

Next semester as in this summer? Me too. It's easy.

>> No.3212032

Question for OP:

Are you aware that you are actually not being taught at the same level as many worthwhile universities? Either your courses will not go as in depth or the profs will take 3 semesters to finish Calculus

University student detected

>> No.3212044

>>3212039

Quite the contrary... I go to a local CC and I compare our material to top Universities... I supplement my courses with some Apostol and other outside sources.

>> No.3212052

>>3212032
Ha ha no.
Physics and calculus and differential equations at my community college (which was nothing special at all) was the same as MIT. Undergrad is the same everywhere. The students are held to the same standards and take the same material.

The course curricula and syllabi at the worthwhile universities aren't guarded secrets. You can go to their websites and look at the books, assigned exercises, etc yourself.

>> No.3212061

>>3212052

I'm willing to bet there's minor variations... I don't really care as any difference that does exist is minor and most kids in calculus courses wouldn't even pick up on most of the theory if it were included anyway.

>> No.3212072

>>3212061
High school students shoot for ivy league for the prestige, connections, bragging rights, and to be around like-minded people, not so much the undergraduate education.

It's grad school where prestige-whoring actually matters.
