Hi /sci/
I'm wondering what i will need to do to get a degree in calculus?
What courses will i need to take?
How hard will it be?
I've found calculus to be really easy and intuitive in highschool so i want to persue it in university.
I think i want to specialize in 4D calculus because it sounds pretty cool, figuring out solids and stuff.
Anyone else do this?
Ha! Nice meme

meme?
As a calculus major, I can tell you that the road is hard but worth it. I have been doing differentiation and integration practice 4hrs a day every day for the last 3 quarters at university. It's hard work but I am able to rise above my peers and be the top of the class in CALC 409. Soon I think ill be able to have a basic grasp of the theory involved in computing triple integrals, which is my ultimate goal in getting this degree.
Get a degree in carbon dioxide instead

Get a real STEM degree like horticulture.

nice troll. everyone knows carbon dioxide degrees are worthless. everyone thats not a brainlet is doing uranium and plutonium nowadays

The thing with Calculus is that Calculus is not even a Math field.
"Calculus" is just a bit of analysis, mixed with a bit of measure theory and some Differential Geometry all poorly explained and fucked up to the point that nobody understands jack shit.
>>8955797
but most of these arent calculus?
i dont like geometry or analysis, just calculus.
>>8955812
how isnt it a math field?
it literally defined our existance for the last 500 years
>>8954356
>current doing PhD in calculus
>get lit review done
>now supervisor wants me to do an integral
>mfw when it is reciprocal of sqrt
>mfw when i realise i can use u substitution
>>8957426
Analysis [math]is[/math] Calculus. Differential Geometry is how Newton did Calculus.
>>8957895
i don't like. i just want calculus
>>8954356
Should have been born 20 years earlier when calc majors were still the shit. Nowadays it's all done numerically, aka you're worthless.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as calculus, is in fact, real analysis, or as I've recently
taken to calling it,
[math]
\left( \mathbf R,\, +,\, \times,\, \leqslant,\, \left| \cdot \right|,\, \tau \,=\, \left\{ A \,\subset\, \mathbf R
\mid \forall x\,\in\, A,\, \exists \varepsilon \,>\, 0,\, \left] x \,-\, \varepsilon,\, x \,+\, \varepsilon\right[
\,\subset\, A \right\},\, \bigcap_{\begin{array}{c} A \,\sigma \text{-algebra of}\, \mathbf R \\ \tau \,\subset\, A
\end{array}} A,\, \ell \right)[/math]-analysis. Calculus is not a branch of mathematics unto itself, but rather another application
of
a fully functioning analysis made useful by topology, measure theory and vital R-related properties comprising a full number
field as defined by pure mathematics.
Many mathematics students and professors use applications of real analysis every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar
turn of events, the application of real analysis which is widely used today is often called "Calculus", and many of its users
are not aware that it is merely a part of real analysis, developed by the Nicolas Bourbaki group.
There really is a calculus, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the field they use. Calculus is the
computation process: the set of rules and formulae that allow the mathematical mind to derive numerical formulae from other
numerical formulae. The computation process is an essential part of a branch of mathematics, but useless by itself; it can
only function in the context of a complete number field. Calculus is normally used in combination with the real number field,
its topology and its measured space: the whole system is basically real numbers with analytical methods and properties added,
or real analysis. All the so-called calculus problems are really problems of real analysis.

I got an F in calculus in high school. It was right after lunch so I was sleepy and I slept through class every day, never studied, and didn't do any homework. Then in college I got an A in all three semesters of calculus.

>tfw you do the homework
>tfw you get something wrong in the homework and study your error

Product rule is my specialty
>>8954356
Nice, I was think about pursuing a PhD in double or triple integrals
>>8954401
Im a nanobiology bachelor student year 1 and Ive already covered triple integrals faggot
>>8958060
Shhh. Let the mathlets live in their bubble. One day we wil inherit the earth.
The triple integral specialist market is currently flooded with Pajeets on H1B1 visa friend, I hear there is a market for geometric sums though.
>>8958060
leave it to the biology major to miss the joke
>>8958082
I already told u Im not doing a major faggot
