Well, /sci/?

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 12 05:47:39 2016 No.8340246 >>8339997 Calc 1, 2 and 3 are very easy. If you're thinking of majoring in anything besides biology then you shouldn't have any trouble with it at all. The real problems start when you begin studying real maths.

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 12 08:57:42 2016 No.8340414 I did pretty shit in calc II (I got a c) but I didn't do homework and was pretty off all around that semester. As with anything do the work and you will be fine.

Calc 2 is integration with simple relations used to simplify the expression to a manageable hand written integration. Extensions of chain rule for integration and other techniques
Calc 3 is basically Calc 1 & 2 with extension into xyz plane. It goes further with equivalency in other coordinate systems and partial derivatives.
Intro Differential Equations (how I was taught) is 1/3rd of the class: first order equations, Linear algebra topics (ex: gaussian elimination, subspaces, span of sets), and then 2nd to nth order equations.

How does a class in undergraduate Linear Algebra and Discrete mathematics weigh in for difficulty?

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 12 10:31:10 2016 No.8340502 >>8339975 In calc 1 the only thing that gave me trouble was the formal definitions of limits. Everything else is plug and chug.

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 12 10:41:58 2016 No.8340510 >>8340505 Professor explicitly told the class on the first meeting that this course would be roughly 75% proofs and help to provide as a transition to formal mathematics. Which LA books on the /sci/ wiki would be recommended for this topic?

I am doing Calc II right now. It is difficult for people because they introduce a whole range of different ideas very rapidly instead of gestating on a few concepts for a long time, progressing from easy differentiation and integration.

Instead, so far, it has mostly been flushing out all the useful stuff for optimization and solving integrals.

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 12 16:45:56 2016 No.8341150 >>8339997 I got a worse grade in calc 2 than calc 1 but I found calc 2 easier. Literally all you're doing is integrating and the only hard part is finding out which method to use. Calc 1 was more all over the place.

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 12 16:48:08 2016 No.8341152 >>8339975 We had Calc1 in high school in the 1980s. What is this shit?

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 12 17:22:35 2016 No.8341204 Got an A in calc 1 and a C in pre-cal Not sure where this "calculus is hard" meme came from
