im in calc right now. FUCK that. My teacher is some dumbass india lady that can barely speak english.
Whenever she says "part" it sounds like she says "pot" so i finally got fed up and interrupted her saying "pot?!" She wasnt too happy about that..

Now everyone has given hope up in the class and just makes fun of her along with me. Hopefully i can get my class switched to a different one though

calc wasn't that hard at all. I've really yet to take a class that's actually hard and challenging, most stuff in college is super easy for me

AB is calc 1 BC is calc 2. theres about a half chapter that both cover though like surface areas of revolutions and hyperbolic trig. AP calc AB goes a little farther than calc 1 and BC goes over the last bits of AB and gets to the end of calc 2.

It's the exact same thing as BC, just with the exclusion of a few topics towards the end.

my best advice is for integrals take your calculator and press: math, 9, equation, "comma", x, "comma", lower boundary, "comma", upper boundary, close parenthesis

FnINT(equation,x,low,high)

Math is always a crapshoot, pretty sure I did everything right but who knows if I misplaced a number, or a sign or whatever and fucked up the entire problem~
