TrophyHusband 0 #28 March 25, 2007 i'm a little nervous about it. for the most part math comes easy to me, but i've had some very smart math-minded people tell me that calc I was tough. "Your scrotum is quite nice" - Skymama www.kjandmegan.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How much do you cover in calc I?Do you want to have an ideagasm? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought Calc I was much easier than Pre-Calc. Calc II was a little bit more challenging, and also where most of the stuff you learn in Pre-Calc is applied. Calc III seemed to be the easiest of the sequence, IMO.Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TrophyHusband 0 #32 March 25, 2007 i don't have to do calc II or III, but i should just to enhance my hobby of theoretical physics. there are a lot of concepts that even when dumbed down for the layman, i just can't understand without knowing the math behind them. by the way, what's your take on the problem in post #22?

If you want to study theoretical Physics, even for fun, I would recommend Differential Equations. Regarding the problem in post 22, I am getting the same answer you are getting: x^3+x^2-4x-6 = (x+3)(x-1+i)(x-(1+i))Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

I bet your instructor was in a hurry trying to figure out an example that's similar to the one in the book but just has different numbers, so he took the one in the book, tweaked it a little, then looked for the answer in the book and tweaked it using the same reasoning, without checking if it was right or not.
