At first this course felt like it wasn't significantly harder than MATH100. About a third of the way in I wanted to quit. Keeping up with everything is absolutely key. If you fall behind, just drop the course. That said, having even a basic grasp on the material is super useful in tons of other math-based courses (PHYS111 for example), so at the course is somewhat useful.

The course covers the basics of integration, series and sequences, complex numbers, and polar coordinates. Integration in particular came in handy in other courses, as well as an understanding of some series and complex numbers. I personally found integration to not be a huge jump from MATH100, but once we moved on to series it felt less related to what we had done before.

Andrea was amazing. He broke concepts down into tiny understandable pieces, which made most of the concepts seem somewhat less daunting. He also did lots of fun examples and added tons of little doodles to his notes and could make some pretty good jokes related to the material. His handwriting was absolutely atrocious though. Missing lectures was a bad idea because his posted notes were barely readable without knowing the words he said as he wrote the notes.

Take the homework seriously. It's one of the best ways to determine if you know what's happening, and if you're consistently doing poorly on the homework or skipping it entirely your exams won't go well. Also, make sure you have a firm grasp on precalculus. Polynomial long division and completing the square came up all the time, and if you don't know how to deal with those you'll get pretty lost at some point.

Good instructor, teaches well. However, as many of the subjects taught in the traditional education system, it is not very "useful" and you'd be better off going into the middle of the woods and making yourself sustainable.

A bit of a repeat of calc 1 at the beginning, then it gets harder

Nice, knows what he's talking about

Just practice and study.

**** this

useless

bad at teaching

i wanna kms

Calc 2 is infamous for being "the hardest calculus" but in all honesty it's not too bad. The course had an assignment and a quiz every week (one due Friday one due Tuesday) and I felt they were great for studying.

Majority of the course is using tests you learn to determine divergence or convergence of an infinite series. If you get the methods down the actual integration is pretty basic.

Awesome, very personable and kind. Will do whatever it takes for you to understand a concept. Also, midterms got back relatively fast for the class size.

Like all math, do lots of practice. Once you get the ideas in your head you just go through the motions on every question.

difficult but necessary for a csc degree.

Calculus is always difficult. Not sure if I'll end up applying it once I've graduated.

Prof. Oshkai is friendly and good at explanations. I think she does her best given the absurd difficulty of the course content.

This is statistically the most difficult calculus course. Spend as much time on it as is physically possible, 2-3 hours per day minimum.

Probably the hardest calc class out of Calc 1-4, this is mostly because the class is heavily theory based. Svetlana is not a good prof, I would try and avoid her if you can, there is lots of other Calc profs that are better. Nothing against her really she seems like a nice person, just is not very reasonable, her examples are not good, and sometimes her writing is hard to understand. Midterms were fair, final was brutal. Keeping up with the weekly homework is the best way to study.

Do lots of practice questions and try and get Trefor or Mohammed as a prof, or really anyone else.
