Calculus Anyone?

Calc was easy, I did 4 years of it and never really had trouble. Problem for me is that now I have to apply it. Fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, separations, fun stuff, but hard as fuck. Believe it or not, calc is useful. I have used it at work a good number of times to figure out a problem.
 
Whats the integral of

Tan^5(x)sec^4(x)


I spent like 45 minutes on that on my last test. :(.... (My trig is terrible.)
 
lawl it's okay man, I forget too. I used to put all of the derivs and ints of all of the trig functions in my calculator, but I wiped my ram!
 
i just got out of a business calculus midterm. all it was was antiderivatives and solving by u substitution
 
:ugh:

That's like saying "I think I'm going to fail algebra because in elementary school I never learned addition"
 
Opted for Discrete Math/Stats instead of Calc, thank god. Sadly I'm due for it next year as a Econ major :( I hear the basics aren't too bad, I'm just afraid for it taught on a university-level as I have never taken Pre-Calc, did do a bit in AP Physics though. I think you underestimate ST too much, there are a lot of smart kids.
 
is this one of those "i take a higher math than you and i think im so much smarter and/or better than you and i want everyone to know" things?
 
i'm taking it right now, doesn't make a bit of sense to me so i'm just riding it out until i graduate. I have an asian teacher I cannot for the life of me understand, and I always end up speaking back to him in broken english. Rook at exponentiar regression hanner, Function ER1 on calculator. Probably is the nicest guy i've ever met though.
 
im in AP calc and its the only class ive ever taken that i actually had to try in, theres just so much shit to remember
 
i'm taking calc in college, halfway through the course.

then i get to take differential equations, thermodynamics, strengths and materials, statics and dynamics.

and some other math courses but i don't remember them
