>high school calculus >brainlet teacher >"taking

Most high school students don't care about the actual reasoning and why they do when they do. They just want to know how to do it for the test. The teacher just doesn't want to waste their breath on something no one's going to listen to

Whats wrong with that?
Seems decent for a high school course

What's with these brainlets trying to fit in with sci shitting on engineering

When you're on this level of math, both majors learn from exactly the same teachers

That is a first-semester calculus class, high school or otherwise. If your teacher can create 16 weeks of coursework from the power rule for derivatives and anti-derivatives, I am impressed. Get an A in this piss-easy course and take calculus again when you enroll in uni.
If your syllabus looks similar to the outline I posted, you are probably obsessing over the rules for derivatives and anti-derivatives. Drink the kool-aid and learn how to use them. You will need them for cal II, multivariate cal, and ODE.

Even if it is simplistic, it isnt really wrong. We are talking about HS calculus, which is a meme anyway
That's not really relevant but I am french.

This. A lot of people on here fail to recognize that undergraduate education is mostly homogeneous. If your calculus course is taught by a qualified instructor at a regionally accredited school, it will be recognized by 99% of the colleges in the US because it is nearly identical to the undergraduate calculus course they offer.
Calc I and II are the college-level equivalent of the algebra and geometry courses you take in high school.

This article is not rigorous in its arguments, it can safely be ignored
