the hardest thing about calculus is the algebra ....

Answer 3

It is not hard if you don't let yourself get SCARED. I suggest you visit. ocw.mit.edu/courses/mathematics/18-01-single-variable-calculus-fall-2006/video-lectures/ I've already finished the first unit on derivatives and got a 90 on the exam.

Answer 4

Depends on your level of preparation. If you did the minimum to get by in earlier classes, it may be a struggle. If your algebra and trigonometry skills are solid, it can be pretty enjoyable, as you get to tackle interesting problems.

Answer 5

@ivancsc1996 Woah! Thanks bro. That should help a lot. I'll try to practice from those videos. Are you in college already or are you doing it beforehand?

Answer 6

@whpalmer4 My algebra skills are pretty solid. I had an Indian teacher and she was the best!!

Answer 7

I just finshed tenth grade (which in Colombia is like eleventh grade in the US). I should be going to college next year. They are great videos. They are a little bit hard at first since you dont really have a feel for calculus yet, but once you rewatch the videos enough times to understand it (specially lecture 6) you will get it. My tips are to get a good feel for the "chain rule" and be sure to understand the meaning of a derivative.

Answer 9
