I Broke My Computer Over Calculus

EDIT: Idk why I have to say this every time I have something that even remotely resembles an opinion, but yes I know this isn't the best way to study calculus - I had 3 months and 4 other placement tests to study for, though, so what else was I supposed to do? I'm not going to fight Newton or Leibnitz or Fubini bc of my placement test disaster, so pleeeeeeease stop defending the honor of Calculus in the comments.

Math Prof here who teaches calculus....first this sucks! I'm really hoping you were able to contact the school and explain what happens and get some leniency. Anyways, what should we do with the notation problem? For myself, I always try to focus on the big picture, the geometric intuition and foundational concepts in my videos. That's what is important, and what I hope my students will take away. I'd be pretty bummed if someone went through my course and their main complaints focused on things like the notational confusion and technical distinctions like connected vs simply-connected. It's true, they are a sort of silly thing that is part of the math canon like how 'they're', and 'their', and 'there' are part of the English language and this annoying thing everyone has to memorize, but I never want it to be close to the main point. And one of the challenges is a lot of things are the way they are because......that is the way they are historically done, and then for me as a prof even if I wanted to try and come up with better notation, I'd then be frustrating my students as I'd be using different notation from their textbooks! No winning this battle, sadly:D

I mean at least you didn't get hit by a truck. Or lose a 20,000 dollar scholarship because of mishandled medical records and anti vaxxers. I had to redo my entire freshman year (and fail it again) after I lost a month's worth of memory and woke up paralyzed the day before finals. The neurologist said that nothing was wrong (oh yeah, then tell me why I can't fucking move!). This was after going through the IB program, graduating a year early, and getting my credits refused. I had to go back home and recover, build myself a robotic exoskeleton with one hand just to go to physiotherapy, and then I took that semester again only to get hit by a truck on the way to finals. Then I had to recover again! At this point I literally go into severe depression and spend the next 18 months in intense physiotherapy only to find out that the uni wouldn't accept me because I had gotten a semester of Fs (due to getting hit by a truck) and so I went to a polytech once I had something that could handle a pencil that wasn't my teeth. I graduated the polytech and I try to go for my degree again. But lo and behold the Japanese Death God struck again. And then halfway through the year I have to go home and recover AGAIN. At least this time I was so filled with rage like some intelligence based barbarian that I wrote all my finals despite suffering from extreme vertigo while the letters were swirling. This time though I missed out on 1 lab, and so I didn't make the qualification for lab hours. And then 2020 happened. I can handle redoing courses. But having to redo them 5 times is a bit much.

I didn't have access to the textbook because my school doesn't actually have any to give either) And I ended up getting a 3. for the class I was most confident in.

[@kingarth0r]

I heavily disagree with the point made about mathematicians, variables, and definitions. First off there is no reason to be upset about a lack of diversity in symbols because 1. There are a lot more ideas than letters 2. There is a lot of diversity in math symbols the higher you go (like you have your letters but then you have 3 different fonts (blackboard for important sets, caligra for sets of sets or just a set of abstract things, frak for anything lie algebra related, and scr if you're feeling fancy)as well as greek letters (upper and lowercase) but you also have 15 symbols for certain types of relations most of the time math is done with words and logic and calculations or only put in when necessary. 3. As long as symbols that have different meanings are used in different contexts you should be fine. And again with the thing about how many types of "domains" you have is really just slight alterations and additions to a standard definition of a domain. Open domain is still a domain just with the added stipulation it is an open set. A lot of these terms like open, closed, bounded, smooth, ect... appear in higher math so perhaps they're just trying to get you to get used to the idea that a blob in space can be interesting and can represent a lot of different ideas. While I do agree that most of this isn't necessary for an intro multivariable calculus course for people who probably aren't interested in doing theorhetical math, I do see what the book is trying to do (you were probably using stewarts calculus which is standard for both math and non math majors).

[@nautilume7114]

Yup, lol. It’s a dimension shifting brainfrick in my opinion. Although I’m innately bad at calc, my take on it is there’s a lot of looking at numbers in different ways, like how the sin, cos, and tan graphs relate to the unit circle. A lot of ins and outs but you might be good at it

[@niko6248]

Reeves Morison As long as you a eat your trig identities and derivative rules, you’ll grow up big and strong.

[@eligoldman9200]

Just wait until you have to do series. My advice as someone is way beyond all of calc now is be on top of the most advance shit in precal, be really good at factoring polynomials, log and trig rules and pay attention because it’s also conceptually difficult especially if you never took a calc class. This and symbolab is your friend.

[@sure8087]

pre-cal wasn't to bad now that I'm in normal calculus. best of luck to you though!

[@eligoldman9200]

Precal is so just advanced algebra you already know most of the concepts like a function and the different equation types. Calc is not only difficult to do but it’s also hard to understand what you are doing. Basically calculus is a way to take an equation and find an equation that maps the slope at any point along a curved line as slope on non straight lines is ever changing. Then you have to learn how to undo that and then you have to learn how do and undo it in 3 demotions.

This is why I didn’t take any AP classes. I did take some but they required way more work and were more difficult. Furthermore, some of my teachers lacked plans to get us ready for the AP exams because they thought everyone just wanted the class for their class ranking. I knew I was staying where I lived so all I took was dual enrollment and I ended my high school senior year with an Associates Degree in Biology. At least all my basics were covered and I got two years ahead from my peers.

He applied for early decision which means he's legally obligated to go there if he gets in. That's why his counselor said it's a brain dead idea. He was accepted to whatever school he applied early decision to so he has to go there.
