Just find the limit as distance between being and yourself approaches zero.

Calculus is 90% doing nigga
You're not just supposed to read shit
>>26601956
How can I do if I literally don't know how to do it?
>>26601668
>Realize achievement is all talent
>Which means your failure isn't your own fault, but the fault of your inferior DNA
Sort of a bittersweet, want-to-kill-yourself feel
OP, relax
I failed algebra 1 FOUR times in high-school, and I eventually went on to differential calc and linear algebra for mechanical engineering in college
math just takes practice and work, you can do it
don't give up
>tfw got a c- in differential equations
>this is apparently unacceptable at the uni level despite over half the class failing
3.0 CORE GPA OR DISMISSAL WEW
>>26601969
You gotta start from somewhere. Is calculus 101 a calculus pre req with trig shit or is it calculus 1 where there's derivatives and integrals?
Didn't you get practice problem?
>>26601927
I'm actualy smarter other people, but they are good at dumbly cramming things into their head, my inteligence is more phylosophical, i watch documentaries and shit and try to UNDERSTAND how things work but that obviously isn't what this degenrate society wants
>>26602012
We start with the pre-req than to the later stuff.
We have practice problems, but I can't get any of them right.
>>26601969
Brb gonna get some alc but you better reply

>tfw last few weeks of precalculus

>utter terror
I'm pulling a 95 but as I understand it, precalc and calc are apples and oranges

Original disappointment for post quality
>>26601668
Get a tutor senpai irk about you but the only studying ever get 1hour is from my parents mathematician friend I've pass all my Uni courses easy too, I guess it's just because I'm able to ask him question that I don't ask the prof
>>26602069
calculus is easier than precalculus
>>26601668
I also failed Calculus in college. Had to take the class all over again.
Eventually with study I made it. I tend to make a lot of mistakes ven though my general train of tought is correct. Barely scraped by, but no fucks given. Don't give up
>>26601991
Retarded. It's like 90 percent effort.

>this dude pulls a 97.2
All because he worked his ass off, harder than either of us, by a long shot. J told me later that she didn't MI d me scoring higher than her because I'm smart, but she was downright embarrassed by doing worse than him. I told her I was thrilled that I even came close to a guy with that kind of ethic.
Telling youself it's beyond your control is nothing but a strategy for ducking responsibility.
>>26602273
>That happened
Here's a little somethin somethin for the robot here
>>26602231
Fuck, I hope so. I just bombed my first exam - in a different class - so my confidence is shaky as fuck right now.
>>26602062
Yes, society would greatly benefit from more people sitting around "understanding things."
>>26602329
It did. And it's hilarious. She's in a different class with me now and she's doing the same shit, wondering why her grades are crap. I don't have any classes with crossfit bro this quarter but I see him every now and then.
>exam last week
>she couldn't finish it in time
>freaks out the next day because her homework is shit
>I sit next to her and pretend to commiserate but quietly think she's getting exactly what she deserves
>taking college classes to qualify for university
>get a week to write a 15 page assignment on cryptography
>dish out 16 pages of university-level number theory in 2 days while stoned off my gourd on weed
>turned it in yesterday
I know I'll get a B at least. I often wonder how well I'd do if I wasn't high all the time.
>>26601969
Hey I'm back.
Did you try to get help from a teacher or prof or a peer? What do you think is making it difficult to understand the concepts for you?
>>26602395
I agree with you. I have a life long friend who's doing a non stem major. I think they are objectively more intelligent than me, but they seem to have no drive to be successful. Meanwhile i'm doing stem, and getting moderately good grades by just putting in an appropriate amount of work.
>>26601668
Git gud
I just barely got a B over a 6wk winter course
>tfw I had to master integrals and several theorems in less than 3 days
>>26601668
>Tfw 1.3 GPA
I'm getting kicked out.
>>26602062
Nigga pls lol, save yourself the embarassment
>Took Calc 1, passed with a D.
>Took Calc 2, passed with a D.
>Took Calc 3, failed.
I'm currently retaking it, but the damage has been done. My gpa is a 1.6, if I don't turn things around this semester, I'm probably gonna get kicked out of uni.
>>26602062
If you understood how calculus works, you wouldn't have failed. Even not knowing trig derivatives or the more advanced rules, you still would've got enough partial credit to pass. And there is no fucking reason why you can't memorize like 6 simple things anyway.
Also, you can manipulate the sin->cos and the cos->-sin derivative to get the others anyway.
>>26602069
You'll do fine, cal 1 is really easy.
I actually found all the calculus classes to lead intuitively into each other. While they weren't "easy," I definitely didn't get overwhelmed like in some other classes.
>failed first algebra two times
>take it again
>know a lot of it
>professor suggest i change my major to math
>laugh and tell her no
>graduate and never had to know shit about finding shapes and stuff
>fail and redo it to get good at it
good luck next semester i suck at math in general
>>26601668
>buy calculator that does everything for me
>get an A without ever studying
Man, it sure must suck to be poor.
>>26604896
>Doing a calc class that allows calculators
Lol pussy
>>26601722
Extremely underrated comment. First post truly is best post.
>>26604896
what kind of third world community college allows graphing calculators in a math class?
>>26601668
wow you are a dumb fuck
holy shit
you failed calculus 101?
kill yourself
