I have a huge test tomorrow and I forgot to bring home my textbook... could anybody direct me to a site with lots if info on Calculus 3? Thanks.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
that is the most pitiful request i ever heard of.
 
Actually in this case you HEARD the request, you didn't hear OF it.
 
Reconstructing everything you can from memory would surely be a good exercise -- might even be better than reviewing your textbook directly.
 
You didn't take any notes in class?
 
That really sucks for you!
 
BWAHAHAHA physicists are a bloody evil lot. I love you guys.
 
BasketDan, I was being more inclusive. Not only is it the most pitiful request I have personally ever heard, but also the most pitiful one i ever heard of. Nice try. Thanks for amusing me.

point of information. this is the same guy who posted some time back that he did not like to take notes and never did so. we all patiently tried to educate him as to how to learn but he apparently did not pay any attention. maybe the test experience will make a more convincing case.

I remember that.

This is bothering you, isn't it?

Yeah, I just read it.

I used to be kind of like that. I'd take notes, of course, but I just didn't really study much before any tests. I learned my lesson now, however. :approve:

Then that is the proper wording, not your initial wording. Thanks for being an *******, "science advisor," and "homework helper."

And a non sarcastic thank you to Tom.
