Take about half the time you spend posting here and study instead and maybe a light will go on in your head, maybe, just maybe ......

I use it everyday. And having learned Calculus has allowed me to make some mad money over the years.

I use it theoretically in my job on a daily basis as well as pi-caclulus. And I make super sick cash ;)

I use it quite a bit as well, but would not go so far as to say "mad cash", but hey- I am not starving either...

PS: Pick up a scholms (sp?) outline for Calc I & II best money you can spend on a self study guide.

calc is the only math class i ever got an A in... i dunno what happened there.

What do you guys do that makes you have to use calculus everyday? Engineers? My dad hasnt used that crap in years and he comes from a very strong math/science background... Oh, and I get to experience that joy of calculus next year in highschool... cant wait :rolleyes:

Being a computer engineer I kinda have to deal with that stuff every now and then. Having gone through 4 calculus (I, II, multivariate, differential equations) and 3 math courses in college... I am really sick of math.
However, I think Engineering is interesting. It's really heavy on math though. It's also very time consuming. Hopefully it pays off in the future :)
I should be a mechanical engineer just because I like cars so much but ..too late now.
btw, I hated calculus too but it'll get easier once you do more of it!
Best of luck!

yo man, I feel your pain too. I'm currently taking calc II during the summer (with some other classes) so that I can complete both of my majors in 4 years. My prof is crazy. He's from Russia, and speaks with a VERY heavy accent, and likes calling us all dumb. He'd say stuff like "you don't know answer? After gallon of russian vodka, I can still see answer clearer than you." just grit your teeth and push through it. It'll be done before you know it.

yea, i had troubles with calculus in high school (in the beginning of the semester), but then, at midpoint, i figured out everything and pulled out a strong A.
through college, i managed A's for cal II and III, but ordinary diff. equations really ruined me (paired with advanced physics) forcing me to drop the class with a W. :(
however, you just gotta hang in there; the end will soon come for you.
as for me, i'm stuck with chem (lecture and lab) and computer science II (which is one of the hardest [stupidest] classes i ever took). everyday in school for 3-4+ hours, which allows me to work only a couple of day a week. i hate school
also, my classes end a week before fall at GaTech starts....
