Calculus III Updates
After fucking up the first test, which I blame on my choice to go snowboarding instead of studying, I've pulled my shit together and scored a 94.4% on the second test. Luckily the professor drops the lowest test score.
This test included drawing 3-dimensional shapes from rectangular rectangular 3 variable equations; converting equations between rectangular, spherical and cylindrical forms; describing 3 dimensional shapes (type, major axis, minor axis, axis of rotation, vertices); using the definition of a derivitive to determine the derivitive of vectors in 3 space; and 3-dimensional motion problems.
This test coupled with my quiz scores puts me at a 94.9% in the class. Doing well both excites me to continue to do well and makes me nervous that I'll fuck it up. I hope I can continue to stay on track with school, the subject matter is only getting harder. Right now we're learning curvature in 2 and 3-dimensions and 3-dimensional curve drawings (helices mainly).

mauz15Damn, and I have the nerve to complain about Cal I.

My blogs are my "me time" for when I don't feel like entertaining you.
Some of us have boring hobbies...mine is education in maths and sciences and yours is boring ass short films. To each his own.

Calc III is really just an extension of calc I. We're just doing the same things in 3-dimensions. It does get quite cumbersome and confusing at times though. Calc II is like the toolbox of calculus where you learn all the different ways to integrate. I found that class the hardest so far.
gwiz665I could do that... who said I couldn't!?
rottenseedeverybody can do it...anybody who thinks they can't is their own hurdle
eric3579Congrats on your scores!
rougyWay to go and stick with it.
Math is my number one weakness.
I still do basic stuff and algebra once in a while just to keep that part of my brain alive. I have a theory that it's kind of like reading: the act of reading itself helps us think better, and I think the same is true for math.
I noticed that I'm able to think more complexly the more algebra I do.
rottenseedunfortunately, I don't read enough...
