THE SUMMONING SPELL! : D Normally you only need one to bring us together >:3 just mention their names!

AP calculus sounds sad ;-; I hated maths and I think that is the same thing?

 

It is essentially college level math as a high school course that I am taking. Let's just say that the plan is that the final is designed for the average calculus student to get a 50% on it. We're about 13 days behind on material because of snow days and class meetings. We had to rush to get it done, and now we only have like a week and a half to review. The exam is early May ;-;

 

D: I do not envy you. Do you need it to get into college or something? :3

 

Nah. I took it because it sounded fun. Not to mention I fell asleep in Pre Calc last year like every class. Now I have good reasons to pay attention ^^

 

Ugh, I did Calculus. Actually, it was pretty fun. Difficult, but fin. Like nuclear physics.

Well, if CatEnzy can derail any and every thread, I thought maybe they could rerail a dead thread.

I only regret that I couldn't find a proper chorus to do the summoning chanting. It shall be found in time.

 

And then it'll all be over in a few months? : D

Any from Supernatural would suffice >:3

 

Oh man TJ, I feel ya with the AP math. I opted for Stats instead of Calc, but my teacher isn't capable of teaching so I goof around and hope 99% of the time.

 

Physics <3

But anyway, I've always kinda wanted to ask this since I keep seeing people say they do pre-calc and calculus. So I'm from England and I've done quite a lot of maths/advanced maths (I do a physics degree so I need to), but we don't organise it like that. My question is then what level is pre-calc and calculus, what do you actually learn in each? I want to compare that to what I've done to get an idea of the level of each. Um, not sure how well I've worded this.

 

You know, Star, a few years ago before I graduated from high school I probably could have answered that. Sadly I don't remember.

 

I don't know about pre-calc (Canada doesn't have it I guess?) but in Calculus, we learn about how to derive and integrate formulas. And that's pretty much all I can remember from my many years ago in Calculus.

 

even though I don't know what's going on in here right now i'm just gonna leave this here.

 

Ah so it's the basic differentiation and integration that you're first introduced to, that would be similar to what I learnt in A-level maths. Thanks~

 

Yup. Differentiating and integrating exponentials, logs, etc and determining limits and whatnot.
