Well I'm in AP Calculus right now and i was curious has any of the intellectuals of ST taken or are currently taking a form of Calculus.

Just a little curiosity.

Now I'm pretty positive about 1 percent of ST even knows what the study of Calculus is and where it is used in every day society, so I'll allow those brain dead civilians to flame, and post randoms.

Anyway Discuss.
 
i did my junior year...



...i would be lucky if i remember it
 
I did grade 12. I take it next year as well (second year university calculus).

I hate it.
 
Ive taken calc 1-3, and differential equations so far in college.
 
I got a 5 on the AP Calc exam, but got pwned by calc II in college
 
oh, god, i'm dreading dif. eq.

calc has plenty of uses, but you just don't know it. any formula you use for finding the area or volume of something was probably derived from calc, as are position/velocity/acceleration functions in physics, etc. etc. etc.


and yeah, calc II blows donkey balls.
 
I think im going to faill it because im AP Calculus now and i fell behind at the beginning of Sin, Cos, Tan and the UNIT CIRCLE.
Now were doing Sin, Cos, Tan , 30-60-90 and 45-45-90 triangles.
And im good at this cuz your finding the missing angles or side lengths, but i dont get the unit circle and COT, SEC, CSC.
I hate it.
 
"I take calculus, but the rest of you probably don't even know what that is, because I'm so fucking clever."
 
msj, dude if you know the class. Calculus revolves around trig functions.....graphing..., calculating unknown angles and lengths through trig functions = calculus.
 
Trig=/=calculus. Trig you learn to use in geometry so you can apply it effectively in calculus. Calculus is the study of the relation between functions, their integrals and derivatives, and how it applies to real life situations.
 
Good for you! Anybody above an IQ of 100 can do calculus; It's pretty easy. Well, at least the High School AP version is. Try taking that shit in college. It's a fucking bear.
 
I took AP AB then got out of AP BC due to senioritis.

Then I'm majoring in engineering when I go to college next year, so I'll be taking a lot more.
 
im taking it right now in college and it has me bare ass over a barrel ready to be pulverized by its thrusting manhood.
