Re: TI-M: RE:Calc 2




Calc IIS as I took it back in the day was fairly difficult; I "5"ed AB and
BC, but after the first week or two, we were well past the bounds of the
College Board curriculum.

Once you understand Weierstrass's symbolic definition of limit (For all
epsilon greater than zero...), and Taylor Series, the rest of Calculus (and
analysis, for that matter), follows, as long as you do your problem sets.

And if people are looking for a tip on improving college grades (if not
understanding): get to know your TAs. Usually TAs have more to do with your
grade than the professor does. And it works better (in a handful of ways)
if you come to them with questions at the beginning (and middle) of the
quarter than if you wait until December.
