Calculus
« on: January 08, 2013, 05:46:44 pm »

I am having the hardest time with calculus.

I take IB Methods math so it's a combinations of Calculus and trigonometry. .


It's so hard to me because unlike Algebra I can't apply it to my every day life....

Which means i get less practice.. .Which means it's harder for me to understand....


How did you do with Calculus?

 :BangHead: calculus OMG I hate calculus - it makes no sense to me and I think its the WORST requirement ever for a college degree.  In fact, if I were going to college again I would be anything that didn't require calculus.

     There are so many different and complicated ways of communicating in mathematics, chemistry and physics.

Calculus kicked my butt!  I had to take 1 and 2 twice each. Even then I d not 'get' it.
I wish you luck!
