I can't do chemistry either, but so far my lecturers haven't noticed
You just wasted six ... no, seven ... seconds of your life reading this sentence.Comment

Modern man calls walking more quickly in the same direction down the same road “change.”
The world, in the last three hundred years, has not changed except in that sense.
The simple suggestion of a true change scandalizes and terrifies modern man. -Nicolás Gómez DávilaComment

Ditto for me. And the same with calculus. And economics. Ugh.Originally posted by Solver

Calculus is easy, it's just algebra with slightly different symbology. If you were taught it differently then you were taught poorly...
Beyond calculus is strange scary territory of vector math and such though

Meh, can't really generalize like that. Vector math isn't scary in the slightest if it's relatively basic. You could be doing vector addition, or you could be doing LRL vectors...
Same for calculus. It's one thing if you're doing function differentiation (rote automatic work) and "slightly" different if you're doing complex curve integrals.Solver, WePlayCiv Co-Administrator

Back in my days we did it all by hand, you could learn calculus in less time than it took a computer to integrate a function!
