MIT CALC IS HARD

>>8584347
Bitch, what the fuck did you fucking expected from one of the top 3 universities in the world?

>http://www.usnews.com/education/best-global-universities/mathematics

MIT is one of the top schools in the world bruh

>top 20
lmao

>>8584347
Harvard > MIT

>>8584347
what the fuck are you talking about? their calculus is not very hard, it's based on the usual steward-tier books

honestly your uni might be very bad

>>8584347
Ive never tryes calculus but ive done some
electromagnetism exams and they seemes pretty standard..

If you take 30 seconds to solve calculus problems from your uni, either your uni sux or you r a genius (which appears to be false weil you can do mit calculus).

PleasSend a pic of your uni calculus exercises and mit exercises which you found specially difficult

I mean, calculus is just calculus. Isn't it the same everywhere...? The only thing that would be different at MIT would be the quality of teaching and the work load the students get.

>>8584347
They have 2 different calc classes, there's the Apostol's Calculus type "Honors Calculus" then there's the regular calc class which is just Stewart's Calculus general type applied calc.

If you want to see some interesting calculus look up the book "Advanced Calculus" By Sternberg and Loomis

>>8584563
Most calculus 1 problems take less than a minute to solve unless it's related rates or a in depth integration problem. Other than that, their all fast to solve. You're the one who probably sucks.

>>8584347
caclulus isn't fucking hatd you fucking faggot i'm drunk throw any problem at me and ui'll swovle it for you bitch ass niqqaaaaa

>>8584347
You must have gone to Brown or something. No other top 20 school could be so dumb.

>>8584654
Texas A&M

>>8584563
This actually seems like a valid and scientific way to give an objective analysis.

>>8584347
Post it, OP. Show us some of your old calculus assignments.

>>8584656
Brown, A&M, same difference. What do you expect going to some cow college?

>>8584347
Go check the rankings, Oxford is number 1 at the moment.

>>8584656
No way Texas A&M is top 20. I'm at the best college at Texas, and I'm not 100% sure we're top 20.

>>8584347
MIT has an honors track for mathematics so even the first year courses are rigorous. There is also non-honors calculus that will be more like what you've seen.

Sheepfucker you are at a day-care. Please don't try to build another bonfire and kill yourself and fellow "engineers".

t. Texas

>>8584656
Texas A&M is ranked 74. Why would you even think you're top twenty?

>>8584892
Apparently Rice is 15, though, so that's better than I thought.

>tfw i go to UT
>tfw A&M is for UT rejects

Feels good to be superior.

I haven't looked at the calculus ones, but I've watched the physics lectures and they move really fast.

It's not so much that the problems are hard it's just the amount of problems they work through, in depth, at such a fast pace. But, it's really only the math that you have to think about.

The more you're exposed to the math the more the patterns become recognizable and thus the solutions. So it's just exposure I guess. and assuming that every student in your class has a good conceptual understanding of the math that's explaining the phenomenon - which most people that aren't at MIT don't actually posses.

How the fuck is UCSB and UC Davis rated higher than UCSD?
These rankings are a sham

>mfw people actually think the institute is what defines whether or not you're intelligent and not whether you can do the material and research something worthwhile

l o l reality is going to hit you like a long tonne of bricks..

>>8584901
Texas a&m is 16 for engineering, which is presumably what OP is referring to for "top 20." Their department is so massive it would be hard for them not to be in top 20 engineering in USA, desu.

I like Prof Jerison's Single Variable Calc on MIT OCW.

I wouldn't say it's so much harder than other uni's. It's just that MIT presents their courses in a more rigorous way. They actually go through the proofs and theorems. They don't just skip to the power rule or chain rule. You get a full rigorous look at why those rules work first and how they were derived.

>Why is MIT calculus so different from the calculus taught at other universities?
no brainlets allowed at MIT.

>>8585088
No brainlets allowed unless they are diverse brainlets*

>>8585320
this

>>8584928
Is UT not worth it for out-of-staters?

https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mathematics/18-01sc-single-variable-calculus-fall-2010/final-exam/
If you are talking about this, than it's not so bad. Sure it's hard, but not impossible. We have a similiar (a bit easier) exams here desu.

>>8586208

that's a pretty standard calculus course

>>8586208
if its designed for one hour, thats kinda hard since you need all the time for writing and not much is left for thinking. For two hours its piss easy.

anyway, isnt 1-var-calc a little too narrow? is it a highschool course or is it only half a semester long?

I'm going to start that MIT OCW calculus course

do I need to review some algebra before starting it?

t. brainlet

>>8584584
What do you mean man? Have you never drawned a surface which is made of 3 different surfaces? Have you never solved high order differential equations? Have you never solved trigonemetric integrals? Please, you need more education before talking to me, fucking brainlet

>>8586305
based on the stupidity of your question I'm going to say yes.
if you can't find a slope, factor complex polynomials, and don't know trig functions, then yes.
if you know how to do all that then you've already passed calculus

>>8586316
I can do all this, but I don't how how autist is MIT, so I've asked.

thanks anon

>>8586305
Go on libgen.io and get Sheldon Axler's "Precalculus" (or buy it used) that's all you need.

There's another book I used called elements of math http://press.princeton.edu/titles/10697.html it's an overview of all "elementary" math subjects and explains it all from the view of a mathematician if you just want to quickly discover 'What's integration?" or see the proof why the square of 2 is irrational.

>>8586321
>autistic
fix

>>8586322
thanks, anon

>>8584514
This. I learned calc from mit ocw back in high school. It's not difficult.

>>8584656
HAHAHAHA THAT EXPLAINS IT

>>8584347
>nigger
>top 20

okay bub

>>8586322
Thank God I'm not the only one who reps Axler here

>>8586322
>Sheldon Axler's "Precalculus"
Kek. I didn't even know he had a "pre-calc" book.

>>8584502
Nah bitch

>>8589019
srs? Harvard blows everybody else out of the water in math, say what you will about its SJW politics. It has the most rigorous honors track in the nation and so on
