When I was in calc 2 they gave us a triple integral problem for extra credit and didn't tell us until a month later we could have gotten a Fields medal if we'd solved it

i mean i guess its supposed to be a wake up call, but now im just more demotivated than ever

>>8290301
Wow you must be retarded

>>8290135
If you're retarded.

>>8290135
It's real. Calc II is the hardest calc course you'll take, mainly due to the burst of new concepts. Calc III will feel like Calc I with vectors or y and z randomly thrown in. I'm guessing it's to weed out those who don't truly understand current and previous material.

>>8290301
Do you even study and do practice problems? Jesus Christ, get it together

>>8290288
My professor got his PhD in triple integrals and tried to explain them to us and we didn't even get it. That was calc 6 though

>>8290135
Calc 2 is actually fun, well it was for me anyway. You're given a bunch of tools and you have to look at the integral and find out which one is right, using the wrong method can sometimes work but it should be clear that you're doing something wrong when you're not progressing.

Even though I did better in Calc 1 I thought the concepts in calc 2 were easier to follow.

>>8290301
Still got a shot at a B, sadclown.

>>8290135
No, the memes aren't real

The thing about Calc 2 is it is your first "real" math class, in that you'll actually have to think a little instead of just auto-piloting your way to the answer.

You'll be given many tools for how to address different kinds of problems that are all similar in nature. It'll be up to you to determine which method to use and rigorously solve the problem. If you're not used to actually studying to understand concepts as well as applying those concepts, then the class will be quite hard.

My advice: go to all the lectures, read your text book on what you covered and do all the homework. You'll be fine. If I can get an A in Calc 2, any retard can with just a little elbow grease

>>8290127
By that logic you'll only survive half a day of Calc II

double AND triple integrals?

In high school I got an A+ in calc 1 and a B in Calc 2. The sequences and series are a bitch. And polar and parametric coordinates are disgusting.

W-what do Calc 1 and Calc 2 cover? Is it just the derivative-integral calculation bullshit you do in high school or does it involve actual shit like sequences and series of functions, derivatives of integrals and complex analysis?

>>8290698
yeah just plug it into computers bro xD

>>8291946

none of that. Sequences and series yes, but not of functions.

Basically just differentiation, integration, limits, sequences and series, polar, parametric, and I think that's it.

>>8290450
Nobody said harder; you complained that there was more than one assignment in the class. Doing math is the only way to learn math.

>How the fuck did you do that shit?

I didn't really study for Pre-cal, but didn't have to study for Calc 1 for some reason, it just made sense. I didn't practice for hardly any of the Pre-cal tests either.

This will be an interesting semester because I have to make all A's to get a 3.0 so I can switch degrees. I've never studied very hard in my life so this will be a wake up call

>just finished last day of Calc 3
>after taking Calc 2 three years ago

Why do I do this to myself? Next up it's Advanced Calculus and Abstract Algebra for me.

>>8292492
What have you been doing for the past 3 years?

>>8290135
It all depends on how you approach it. I, shamefully, "failed" (below a 2.0) it the first time I took it because I didn't take it seriously and just wanted to barely coast by because I didn't feel it was relevant to my degree. Never do this with any math class, even if it's not relevant, knowledge is great. I took it again and did pretty great. Then years later I changed my major to math and it's now relevant.

Just pay attention to all the lectures, read the book, do the exercises. If you don't understand something intuitively, discuss it with classmates (seriously, try explaining it and encourage others to as well, it can give you some good insight), use your professor's office hours, you'll do good and be glad for it. Plus, if you go through all of this, you'll probably come out with an intimate understanding of the subject and a better conception of mathematics in general.

Just curious as someone hopping to switch into CS, why did you switch out?

not him but i think you'll find CS is a lot more math than programming, as in you're focusing on doing basically just lots of math in a computer.

>>8292518
CS wasn't math heavy enough at my uni, and frankly was a complete joke of a degree. YMMV, but I also prefer getting into more math-centric studies and the work interests me more.

I would take a long look at the CS program in your school before switching over, and making sure it's not a glorified trade school.

>>8292529
The CS program at my school is in the Engineering college which is 7th among public graduate schools and 12th overall

I don't know what's more annoying this time of year on /sci/: the freshman complaining about Calc I/II or the shitposters who feel the need to one up the freshmen

>>8292539
>The CS program at my school is in the Engineering college

This can be a red flag, but not necessarily so. Engineering schools are largely industry focused (understandably) which can lead to you taking classes like "software engineering" or some such nonsense, and learning stuff you should really be learning outside the classroom at an internship. But sometimes they're good about CS and won't bog you down too much with non-academic subjects being classes.

>>8292524
>>8292529

It really depends on the school and who teaches the courses. I didn't go to a big tech school but the professors that taught my courses focused heavily on concepts and mathematics. The CS department here encourages students to take more math courses than required, too.
