Everything afterword. You're going to fail.

Now fuckig kys brainlet

P-p-please no bully.
I even gave you a nice webm.

I'm in Cal3 and everything seems ok so far. Don't worry so much.

Related rates, optimization, and weird-ass limits were the things i mainly struggled with in calc I. And also i had some dumb misconceptions at first.

If you actually read each chapter and do the assignments, and you're not a dumbass, you should do okay. After that there's just integration.

I still have this to cover for differentiation.
I'm probably a retard, senpai.

The limits of exponentiated and logarithmic functions.
But really the course is all about readying you to think in terms of geometry. Hey, If you have a round paper r=6in and you cut a slice out of it, what's the size of the slice you cut out to make the remaining sides of paper, when brought together to make a cone, have the maximum volume??

Anything can be extremelly difficult or extremelly easy depending on the approach and intentions of the professor. Factoring expressions is hard if you're studying for IMO, but it's the easiest thing on 9th grade. Calculus is basically the same thing. You can do hard exercises or you can stick to the mechanical algorithms and repetitive problem lists.

Wanna explain the answer?

I'm doing studying at a long distance university (Open University for UK people), I don't really have a proff, but I can email him. So far I've been just learning from the textbook, it's very good.

Isn't that a high-school subject?

Good job, OP. Go get straight-A.

it's almost entirely mechanical in the sense that you're given a problem and there is always an algorithm or operation that will solve the problem, and all you need to do is memorize the procedure

this might not be the case later when you have to work through some fairly complicated substitution problems or proofs, which require a bit of ingenuity to make an "educated guess" about how to proceed

do you want calculus to be difficult?
go for rudin's analysis book
