Well, integrals are easy actually.

It's just derivatives + Arithmetic-Algebraic and trigonometic tricks.

If your problems are focused on computation you arent learning physics. A class I just took literally gave us difficult integrals if we needed them for problems because we werent supposed to be focused on learning calculus

This, really.

At my math department I can get a masters in calculus (no joke) so I guess I can be a mathematician and physicsts by just studing an extra 16 months after graduation.

Link? I need to see this for myself.

This

The aspect of computation that you learn in physics classes is mainly making approximations using taylor series, which is an extremely simple concept but just takes practice

Of course being good at calc would save you a lot of time

Fuck, I'm at the point in my life where I've aced classes like Topology and Abstract Algebra but then I take courses like microeconomics or applied linear regression and tank my average.

This is what I hate about my physics education

Not enough emphasis on qualitative intuitive understanding of physical phenomena

Way too much emphasis on mathematical masturbation that is ultimately meaningless
