I'm trying to teach myself calculus for fun and never been a math person. What kind of tips or tricks do you have for memorizing the rules?
This can't be stressed enough. The basic calculus concepts are fairly simple. The algebra and trig gets you bogged down.in order to grasp it, you need to first understand algebra & trigonometry,
if you have a solid base there, then calculus shouldn't be too difficult. When you get to vector calculus (x, y, z = 3 dimensions) it gets quite a bit more difficult, imo.
I don't remember any 'cheats' from my days doing calc. sory.
If you're able to follow the notation, just practice practice practice.I'm trying to teach myself calculus for fun and never been a math person. What kind of tips or tricks do you have for memorizing the rules?
I think he’s the type that just posts random threads and doesn’t come back to themProbably the best way to learn calculus would be start from the beginning and work your way up organically. Either take classes at a CC or just find a text book and start from the last thing you understand. You could probably do basic derivative and integration stuff just by memorizing the formulas, but anything beyond that needs a stronger foundation than what can be achieved by just picking up a differential equation book or whatever.

Maybe I have you confused with someone else...but didn't you start an impeach Trump thread in the wrong forum and never post in it again?

I have always wanted to improve my German (studied it in HS & college).Pick up another language "for fun", it's much more rewarding.
Thank you for this. Made me laugh.Pretend all the calculus books are naked.
Yeah - exactly.This can't be stressed enough. The basic calculus concepts are fairly simple. The algebra and trig gets you bogged down.
...Get high
duhI got through calc by mostly visualizing the "space" - in a geometric sense.
Problem is the pages will get stuck together.sleep with the book under your pillow. #osmosis
It took about 10 minutes (oh, who am I kidding, two weeks) to figure out that X wasn't scared of anything, and he was talking about X2If you're able to follow the notation, just practice practice practice.
If you're not able to follow the notation, find a book or video that explains things well in English.
The Essence of Calculus
Had a bunch of calc as an engineering major but still had several wow moments in this series.
This is an awesome series. Going to binge watch them and then save it for when my kids need calc help.The Essence of Calculus
