It's easy math

Yes its an introductory calculus course

Okay thank you guys

calculus was invented only 400 years ago and is still being improved. No it's not easy. Let these brainlets say otherwise because they know a few formulas. The amount of work involved when using limit methods to prove those formulas are both confusing and tedious. So no, it won't be difficult if you trust in your formulas, but understanding the how and why is difficult.

>- Sequences and their limits
Not at all. Sequences are an active area on research and even though there exists many techniques, even today new interesting sequences are being discovered.

>- Finite and infinite series and their applications in computer science

Infinite series appear everywhere. They are strongly tied up with series and indeed many pure mathematicians find new and interesting series today that we can in some way or another approximate asymptotically with series we know more about. There is a lot of things to...
>and their applications in computer science
Oh... no yeah that is all solved mathematics. Just get a pamphlet on that, all you need is like 10 pages. Trivial

>Real functions in one variable
Oh this is not easy mathematics at all. Real functions of one variable are at the core of the study of analysis. You see, real functions in one variable are actually what drives the study of higher dimensions and even though we have a lot of knowledge today, many interesting curves are studied every day by pure mathematicians. New curves with specific properties. There is no way to categorize all real curves so there is a lot to learn and discover. Not trivial and all.

>- Derivatives and integration of real functions
Oh, where to start. Derivatives and integrals are fundamental to analysis. As mentioned before, many interesting functions are being discovered and studied every day and a big part of understanding functions is being able to get or at least characterize in some way or another their derivative and antiderivative. You see, many functions actually have non-trivial derivatives/anti derivatives so being able to find out what the limits of our current theory are is a big part of modern research. There is nothing easy about this. There is a vast world of functions out there.

>- Applications of real functions in one variable in computer science

Oh, no. This is trivial. Computer scientists use like... 10 functions.

Is that reddit spacing? Yes, yes it is.

come on, it's not THAT hard. I agree that the whole reasoning involving epsilons (or just general open sets) needs a little time to get used to, but that's how it is with everything in math. once you do, single-variable calc is as straightforward as it gets imho.

Okay but when you say that it isnt easy math, how difficult is it for an average non-phenotype guy? Is it doable?

And what are the prerequisites to learn these things? Precalculus?
