Hi Veeky Forums
I'm wondering what i will need to do to get a degree in calculus?
What courses will i need to take?
How hard will it be?
I've found calculus to be really easy and intuitive in highschool so i want to persue it in university.
I think i want to specialize in 4D calculus because it sounds pretty cool, figuring out solids and stuff.
Anyone else do this?
Ha! Nice meme
meme?
As a calculus major, I can tell you that the road is hard but worth it. I have been doing differentiation and integration practice 4hrs a day every day for the last 3 quarters at university. It's hard work but I am able to rise above my peers and be the top of the class in CALC 409. Soon I think ill be able to have a basic grasp of the theory involved in computing triple integrals, which is my ultimate goal in getting this degree.
Get a degree in carbon dioxide instead
Get a real STEM degree like horticulture.
nice troll. everyone knows carbon dioxide degrees are worthless. everyone thats not a brainlet is doing uranium and plutonium nowadays

The thing with Calculus is that Calculus is not even a Math field.
"Calculus" is just a bit of analysis, mixed with a bit of measure theory and some Differential Geometry all poorly explained and fucked up to the point that nobody understands jack shit.
but most of these arent calculus?
i dont like geometry or analysis, just calculus.
how isnt it a math field?
it literally defined our existance for the last 500 years
>current doing PhD in calculus
>get lit review done
>now supervisor wants me to do an integral
>mfw when it is reciprocal of sqrt
>mfw when i realise i can use u substitution
Analysis [math]is[/math] Calculus. Differential Geometry is how Newton did Calculus.
i don't like. i just want calculus
Should have been born 20 years earlier when calc majors were still the shit. Nowadays it's all done numerically, aka you're worthless.
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as calculus, is in fact, real analysis, or as I've recently
taken to calling it,
[math]
\left( \mathbf R,\, +,\, \times,\, \leqslant,\, \left| \cdot \right|,\, \tau \,=\, \left\{ A \,\subset\, \mathbf R
\mid \forall x\,\in\, A,\, \exists \varepsilon \,>\, 0,\, \left] x \,-\, \varepsilon,\, x \,+\, \varepsilon\right[
\,\subset\, A \right\},\, \bigcap_{\begin{array}{c} A \,\sigma \text{-algebra of}\, \mathbf R \\ \tau \,\subset\, A
\end{array}} A,\, \ell \right)[/math]-analysis. Calculus is not a branch of mathematics unto itself, but rather another application
of
a fully functioning analysis made useful by topology, measure theory and vital R-related properties comprising a full number
field as defined by pure mathematics.
Many mathematics students and professors use applications of real analysis every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar
turn of events, the application of real analysis which is widely used today is often called "Calculus", and many of its users
are not aware that it is merely a part of real analysis, developed by the Nicolas Bourbaki group.
There really is a calculus, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the field they use. Calculus is the
computation process: the set of rules and formulae that allow the mathematical mind to derive numerical formulae from other
numerical formulae. The computation process is an essential part of a branch of mathematics, but useless by itself; it can
only function in the context of a complete number field. Calculus is normally used in combination with the real number field,
its topology and its measured space: the whole system is basically real numbers with analytical methods and properties added,
or real analysis. All the so-called calculus problems are really problems of real analysis.
I got an F in calculus in high school. It was right after lunch so I was sleepy and I slept through class every day, never studied, and didn't do any homework. Then in college I got an A in all three semesters of calculus.

Product rule is my specialty
Nice, I was think about pursuing a PhD in double or triple integrals
Im a nanobiology bachelor student year 1 and Ive already covered triple integrals faggot
Shhh. Let the mathlets live in their bubble. One day we wil inherit the earth.
The triple integral specialist market is currently flooded with Pajeets on H1B1 visa friend, I hear there is a market for geometric sums though.
leave it to the biology major to miss the joke
I already told u Im not doing a major faggot
