Okay I'm struggling with calc 3

submitted by anon to AnonTalk 2 monthsFeb 17, 2025 20:31:23 ago (+7/-0)     (AnonTalk)

Forgetting all the basic concepts to solve these problems like until circle and trig stuff like angles and radians needed to problems for parameteric equations with a exam in less than two weeks OM FUCKED

If you had a family emergency you could take an incomplete.

If not try to get a past test and cram smart.

Prioritize weakness
Practice problems repeatedly
Concise review - Patrick J
Mnemonic tricks
Tutoring
Study groups
Office hours or TA
Cram only what is on the test
Get past tests

Make sure you get rest too
Don't study late into the night


Next time prepare better be more organized. Classes are like weight lifting - skipping practice and then trying to it all in the last few weeks is not how to manage it.

Aim to do your best, that may not be good, but do your best anyhow

Thank you for the excellent advice. I did manage to get a review sheet for the first exam and it should be the same as the first exam. Do you think I should ditch the homework and focus on it? Also what would a incomplete do? Just curious its still really in the semester if it helps

Isn’t it easier for the kids these days to just simply either give the professor oral sex or frame them for refusing?

Just accuse them of some random -ism.

oh boy, you're gonna LOVE vector calculus
also, and i am not trying to be a dick, these sound like precalculus issues

[ - ] anon 1825856 [op] 0 points 2 monthsFeb 18, 2025 12:04:16 ago (+0/-0)

we did start learning vectors recently

not what i meant at all, killer.

you definitely aren't in calc 3

Holy fuck that looks tough. also I can upload some problems proving I'm in calc 3 if you like

yeah have at it

Calc 3 is practically geometry. Turning the usual shapes and the equations for their volume into integrals. Just keep that in mind and the equations seem way simpler.

I was a high school dropout with zero study skills. Got GED and started college courses. Eventually finished undergrad through U-Mass Lowell (poor-man's MIT). ALong the way was advanced algebra, trig, differential calc., etc. Struggled with every one of them, but one thing I learned about math, it requires a lot of TIME. Practice, practice, exercise after exercise, problem after problem. Repetition is the key. At least for me

x is the cosine angle, y is the sine of the angle.
the rest is easy to look up.

You'll be fine. just practice, every day. Consistency is key.

this works fine for a unit circle and should be basic high school knowledge, but then do some integrals where the way forward is to convert them to imaginary exponentials.

Why the fuck are you talking calculus 3?!? The only major I know that needs that is a math major, and if you are a math major, go pick a new major.

I could drop the class but I may need it at a four year and computer science is only up to calc 2 here

Watch YT videos to help you out.

Your college probably has a study hall with a tutor availible.
Specifically one from your class.
The tutor is probably your TA.

If the test is in two weeks, you better get your ass off Voat and spend it in the study hall.

One does not to be anonymous to do math.

I have several math courses ahead of me.

It’s going to suck dick but you can learn it if you sit down and do it. However, they tend to rush each lesson.

What you need is a strict Asian father to scold you repeatedly until you Chinese yourself to an A or literally die trying.

It's very abstract but follows rules and patterns. You've got to change your mindset when it comes to math, especially the more advanced you get.

That shit is complicated.
