how do you bribe a professor? I was thinking about $10 per 1%, so it would be $760 for a passing C. Would this work? If I just put a bunch of twenties in an envelope, I could just deny everything. This is literally my last prereq, I just need to pass this class before I can transfer.
>forestry wut Is there a curve or is this some sort of calc 1 for """"""forestry"""""" majors (read: brainlets)?

under normal circumstances you would only need to take forestry brainlet calc (READ: applied calculus for the life sciences) but since my area doesn't have anything like that, regular calc1 must suffice. The only reason calc is even required for forestry is because its a blanket req. for ALL life sciences, since apparently biology etc. uses it, I guess
I know and have talked to over 17 people working in my future industry, not a single one used calculus past college, it simply isn't required when you have a computer. Doing mapping? computer handles it. field samples? not used. controlled burn? c o m p u t e r
I am the only person in the entire class who isnt engineering/CS. I almost want to make the case to the professor, but I'm not sure if it will offend them that I really just want a C in the class to fill a bullshit req. and get back to studying trees

Suck his member. Make him forget about heterosexuality. If that doesn't work out, you now have a career in prostitution. Congrats.

as a followup, the main argument FOR calculus in the life sciences mostly has to do with change over time, whether it be population growth, or whatever. However, you don't need to know how to take a derivative, only know that you are solving for a rate of change.
2 stats classes > 1 stats + 1 calc this is true for basically any life science, as long as you understand what a rate of change is
also, how do i not fail calculus? I currently have a 55% and am going crazy, the second test is on tuesday. the prof loves to give gimmick tests that are infinitely more difficult than any material present in the book or lessons
>throws class softballs like finding second derivative of (2x^2 - 3) >test has second derivative of csc(x^1/2) - x/(tan(x2)) kill me

What do Americans even learn in Calc 1,2,3? Eurofag here, I learned about derivatives and integrals starting from the second year of high school. Then in the third year I got to learn product rule, quotient rule and the chain rule.

Calc 1 encompasses everything you just listed plus things like the shell/washer method. also a big emphasis on limits (at least at my school) . calc 2 is sequences/series, a brief introduction to DE's, and a few numerical integration techniques. calc 3 was all that stuff rehashed in higher dimensions.

Calculus I is typically differential calculus up to (but not including) the natural logarithm and increase trigonometric functions, as well as integral calculus up to (but not including) integration by parts. Mine also did some stuff with polar coordinates, implicit differentiation, and solids of revolution, but not everyone I've talked to covered those topics.
Calc II is whatever's left of single variable differentiation, series and sequences (usually to develop Taylor series), integration techniques like partial fraction decomposition and integration by parts, calculus in polar coordinates, and probably done important theorems like the intermediate value theorem.
Calc III is vector calculus, up through Stokes' theorem.

givem da succ!

have you tried not being a fucking brainlet? calc 1 is baby easy jesus
