Math is WAY easier over there. > > Jesse, to answer your question: Because I suck at math. I suck less now than ever, but I still suck. I’m not stupid, but there are KIDS like 18 years old SLEEPING in my calc 2 class. One kid has skipped a class already! That’s how **bored** they are. There are some people who just “get” math and its really easy for them. These people should be punched in the face repeatedly. > > My pencil lead is molten. My palm sweaty. A cloud of graphite hovers in the air. I’m both trying to write everything down, AND follow it. I have trouble doing both. The professor explains very little, and what he does, he does in proofs. Wonderful, just what I needed some generalized to death concept Newton and a fistfull of people understand. > > **My “apples” analogy is the chain rule**. Explained like that it is quite simple. keep telling me its dY/dX = (dY/dU)(dU/dX) and ill never “get it”. > > _ **I find math professors are always spectacular at math and terrible at teaching. Probably because they are the kind of people who like math.** _ +Eleventy ZILLION to this whole post. Seriously. Just got a little nostalgic taste of my freshman and sophomore year frustration. _shudder_ Kudos to you for sticking with it. Still have no idea who you are, btw, but I like your moxie. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/fun-with-integral-calculus-or-im-totally-not-getting-laid/241653)._
