Calculus Griping

As much as I complained about how much I hated Calc 1, I think I hate Calc 2 even more. And most of it is the professor. He has decided that assigning us two sets of 20 problems out of the hardest sections of questions, without going over half the stuff we need to do. I've only got half the stuff for tomorrow done, and I don't know how to do the other half. I'm totally going to fail this class.

...I think I may go work on my CS homework instead. I actually know how to do that.

So is Calc II multivariable, or is it just annoying integration crap and infinite series?

Integration crap, although we may move on to multivariable next term - I know we cover it at some point this year.

I actually managed to do all the problems, more or less, I just think I've got half of them wrong.

That sounds absolutely awful.

It is. And I may have to do it again next year if whatever university I end up going to decides my credits from this year don't count x.x

Argh. Yes. I'm having the same problem with AP credits. Best of luck with that. At least if you take it again, it should be easy for you.

Yeah, that gets kind of messy. I suppose it will be easier, though, unless it's like at MIT or something >.>

I'm only applying to public universities. I was looking at Caltech and Harvey Mudd for a while, but I'm not sure if the would be all they're cracked up to be. Mudd flat-out said they wouldn't take AP credit because their entry level classes are harder than AP; I assume MIT is the same way.

Caltech, I noticed, has a kinda shitty Humanities department, unfortunately. That's what knocked it off my list.

MIT takes AP, but just like...5s. And that's it.
