MIT CALC IS HARD

caclulus isn't fucking hatd you fucking faggot i'm drunk throw any problem at me and ui'll swovle it for you bitch ass niqqaaaaa

You must have gone to Brown or something. No other top 20 school could be so dumb.

Texas A&M

This actually seems like a valid and scientific way to give an objective analysis.

Post it, OP. Show us some of your old calculus assignments.

Brown, A&M, same difference. What do you expect going to some cow college?

Go check the rankings, Oxford is number 1 at the moment.

No way Texas A&M is top 20. I'm at the best college at Texas, and I'm not 100% sure we're top 20.

MIT has an honors track for mathematics so even the first year courses are rigorous. There is also non-honors calculus that will be more like what you've seen.

Sheepfucker you are at a day-care. Please don't try to build another bonfire and kill yourself and fellow "engineers".

t. Texas

Texas A&M is ranked 74. Why would you even think you're top twenty?

Apparently Rice is 15, though, so that's better than I thought.

>tfw i go to UT
>tfw A&M is for UT rejects

Feels good to be superior.

I haven't looked at the calculus ones, but I've watched the physics lectures and they move really fast.

It's not so much that the problems are hard it's just the amount of problems they work through, in depth, at such a fast pace. But, it's really only the math that you have to think about.

The more you're exposed to the math the more the patterns become recognizable and thus the solutions. So it's just exposure I guess. and assuming that every student in your class has a good conceptual understanding of the math that's explaining the phenomenon - which most people that aren't at MIT don't actually posses.

How the fuck is UCSB and UC Davis rated higher than UCSD?
These rankings are a sham

>mfw people actually think the institute is what defines whether or not you're intelligent and not whether you can do the material and research something worthwhile

l o l reality is going to hit you like a long tonne of bricks..

Texas a&m is 16 for engineering, which is presumably what OP is referring to for "top 20." Their department is so massive it would be hard for them not to be in top 20 engineering in USA, desu.

I like Prof Jerison's Single Variable Calc on MIT OCW.

I wouldn't say it's so much harder than other uni's. It's just that MIT presents their courses in a more rigorous way. They actually go through the proofs and theorems. They don't just skip to the power rule or chain rule. You get a full rigorous look at why those rules work first and how they were derived.

>Why is MIT calculus so different from the calculus taught at other universities?
no brainlets allowed at MIT.

No brainlets allowed unless they are diverse brainlets*

this

Is UT not worth it for out-of-staters?

If you are talking about this, than it's not so bad. Sure it's hard, but not impossible. We have a similiar (a bit easier) exams here desu.

that's a pretty standard calculus course

if its designed for one hour, thats kinda hard since you need all the time for writing and not much is left for thinking. For two hours its piss easy.

anyway, isnt 1-var-calc a little too narrow? is it a highschool course or is it only half a semester long?

I'm going to start that MIT OCW calculus course

do I need to review some algebra before starting it?

t. brainlet

What do you mean man? Have you never drawned a surface which is made of 3 different surfaces? Have you never solved high order differential equations? Have you never solved trigonemetric integrals? Please, you need more education before talking to me, fucking brainlet

based on the stupidity of your question I'm going to say yes.
if you can't find a slope, factor complex polynomials, and don't know trig functions, then yes.
if you know how to do all that then you've already passed calculus

I can do all this, but I don't how how autist is MIT, so I've asked.

thanks user

Go on libgen.io and get Sheldon Axler's "Precalculus" (or buy it used) that's all you need.

There's another book I used called elements of math press.princeton.edu/titles/10697.html it's an overview of all "elementary" math subjects and explains it all from the view of a mathematician if you just want to quickly discover 'What's integration?" or see the proof why the square of 2 is irrational.

>autistic
fix

thanks, user

This. I learned calc from mit ocw back in high school. It's not difficult.

HAHAHAHA THAT EXPLAINS IT

>nigger
>top 20

okay bub

Thank God I'm not the only one who reps Axler here

>Sheldon Axler's "Precalculus"
Kek. I didn't even know he had a "pre-calc" book.

Nah bitch

srs? Harvard blows everybody else out of the water in math, say what you will about its SJW politics. It has the most rigorous honors track in the nation and so on
