But did you actually do any expansions? Like find an infinite series that describes sinusoidal functions? You got a preview... It blew my mind and added a lot of final closure to finally have a mathematical method to calculate those "black box" functions...Log, Sin/Cos/Tan/etc, e^x, etc...

mmmmhmm

That and integrals? How long? Are you on a quarter system?

Lol I personally thought Calc 2 was easier than Calc 1, but then again I took 1 in my first semseter at college and didn't do anything I needed too. I had taken it in high school and though I knew all there was to know, I was wrong, learned my lesson and got a better grade in 2 that in 1.

I feel I understand calculus pretty well and am amazed by what it lets you do, but my teacher for Elementry Linear Algebra was worthless. Not only that we were given the book that he wrote. If I can't learn it in class I should be able to learn from the book no? Half of the class barely passed, thankfully I was one of them, although I feel I didn't have a clue what was going on in class. This is gunna come bite me in the ass in Diff. Eq. and some of my EE classes. I might have to take it from the other proffessor on campus just to understand it, his class averaged a B+, my teacher averaged a C-, and we were given the same tests.

16 week semesters. We do not have a Calc IV so III is it.
