I took the AP Calc AB and BC exams in high school, so I can exempt the classes at Northeastern. However, bio majors have to take a year’s worth of calculus anyway– a specific course engineered to teach calculus as applied to biology.
Calc is my worst subject. Always.
And this is how my calc professor introduced the class:
He went on.
He went on.
By the end of his speech, I looked like this:
This class is gonna be a good time.
AH! He reminds me of my Math 50 professor…who is Indian…with a very thick accent…who shouts at the class. My tutoring group jokes about how we don’t use parenthesis, we use PARENT-THE-SEAS. Lol.
Except you’re in an advanced calculus class…which is much harder…
Math is difficult all-around! No matter what level you are, if you’re learning it for the first time, it’s going to be difficult. In my math-challenged opinion. I have heard some terrible stories about incomprehensible teachers. My calc teacher mentioned here is actually a very good teacher, though, he’s just… frightening… and intimidating. :O
