>letters
>0 to 4 gpa

why can't you use just one general grading system from 0 to 100 like the rest of the world? what the fuck is a b+ supposed to mean, 60? 80?

B+ would be anything from 87-89% in the class, and would be 3.33/4.00 for gpa.

>>9387874
A lot of my classes have tests where the average is 30% by design while others have 90% averages, the point of lettering is to standardise this into one scale

My uni spends the first half of calc 3 discussing vector functions / parametric equations. (Dot/cross product, tangent/normal/binormal vectors, arc length / curvature, etc), and the 2nd half on multivariable functions / partial derivatives / basically calc 1 expanded into R^n>2). And it ends with introducing multiple integration and simple techniques for it, as well as polar/cylindrical/spherical coordinate systems.

Calc 4 is vector calculus, with green/stokes/divergence theorem and all that shit

[Anonymous No.9388281]

I feel like doing Vector calc in 3 is the norm, at least in Canada. Usually people do linear algebra in 1st so vector functions are easy to comprehend by second year.

Yeah that's what I am used to, but linear algebra before vector calc seems like a good idea actually

in my university calc 1 is intro to clalculus (mvt, derivatives, anti-derivatives, etc), calc 2 is series,s sequences, and advanced integration techniques, clac 3 is triple integrals, largange method, stokes theorem, etc, and calc 4 is diff eq.

You have no clue. My GPA went down to a 2.something and I got suspended from college because I finally snapped and got in a fight with my roommate. He'd been stealing from me and threatening me for months, smoked cigs in the room (windows couldn't open), kept me up all night blasting tv, was always fucked up on drugs and would trash the place, or would be fucking ugly girls so I couldn't be in there. He stole my card and tried withdrawing hundreds of dollars. Dude was a total scumbag. Even though he never went to class (he was just there for loan money and a place to sleep), was much older and bigger than me, and had a huge crime record and record of issues with the cops, even though they found a bunch of drug paraphernalia and stolen items in the room, the school took his side and kicked me out; causing me to fail the semester and putting a beautiful suspension for battery on my record. He received no disciplinary action, and afaik is still there doing the same stuff, some guy overdosed with him a week or so ago.

Meanwhile I can't even get into community college now. God bless America.

>go to class 3/4 of the time because its not even lectures; he just does the harder problems on our homeworks
>get 90%+ on all tests and final
>92% homework grade
>88.7% final grade because of attendance

The professor made homework and attendance worth 30% of the class' total grade because people do shitty on the tests.

3.87,

Yeah I don't work, just getting by on loans. Do spend 6-10 hours in the lab every week, but I just can't manage an actual job. I get migraines and shit that knocks me out of commission without much warning and can fuck my schedule up. If I had strict 10-20 hours I had to spend at a job week I'd probably slash my GPA by 40%, not even kidding

[Anonymous No.9389890]

Fuck vector calc, made a D in it this semester but made a B in ODE.

what the fuck guys, the average grade for my calc 3 class was about 70%. How do you have averages that are almost 90? that's fucking ridiculous

Is vector calculus the murikan word for Analysis |||? If so how is that an "easy subject" I'd say it's the hardest in the entire undergrad(depending on the professor I guess, but even with an easy one it's hard imo.)

No, it's basically cal 3 with more stokes theorem

Do you mean from the perspective of smooth manifolds and building up from differential forms? In full generality sure, but vector cal usually constrains things to Euclidean spaces

Some schools do Calc I-IV (Differential, Integral, Series, Multivariable)

Others do Calc I-III ((Differential, Integral, Series) with Multivariable as its own class because you don't need more than Differential and Integral calculus for multivar calc.

Then there's Calc I-III (Differential, Integrals and Series, Multivariable)

Shit's weird son. Especially if you transfer schools in the middle of your Calculus series.
