Have I complained about calculus lately???

Ugh... getting the hang of the Fourier Series (google it... too much of a mess to post it) for tomorrow's midterm... but this is ridiculous... I think I'll get Nuke to proof some problems I've completed since he likes calculus so much.

Just don't ask me to proof your work. I haven't done any calculus since I graduated college in 1980. Best of luck on your midterm, we'll be rooting for ya!

Dave,
Hopefully you don't put any finite limits on your learning. There is an infinite amount of area to learn that is integral to your education.

Definitely not... when I fail, I sit down and work harder until I understand.... as for the exam today.... I figure I either did OK, or I don't have a clue what I'm talking about... guess I will find out early next week.

I had a heck of a time with Fourier Series in calculus, but I actually really understood them when I took a communications EE class. They're very instrumental in displaying the frequency response of systems. I find that they're much easier to understand when you have a real practical use for them.

Congrats on passing. BTW I had to laugh at your post title. Cheered me right up this morning.

I had to take Calc 1 & 2 in college. The only thing I remember is the power rule...which was the most basic rule lol.
