Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the request for an organized list of calculus formulas, exploring the balance between memorization and understanding of calculus concepts. Participants share resources and opinions on the importance of learning calculus beyond just memorizing formulas.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification, Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant requests an organized list of calculus formulas.
  • Another participant suggests that learning calculus is more beneficial than merely memorizing formulas.
  • Some participants emphasize the importance of understanding the derivation of formulas to enhance comprehension.
  • A participant mentions that a sheet of integrals might be the only formulas worth memorizing due to their complexity.
  • Resources such as mathworld.com and Wikipedia are recommended for further exploration of calculus concepts.
  • A link to a resource previously known as "Dave's Math Tables" is shared as a helpful tool.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the importance of understanding calculus rather than just memorizing formulas, but there is no consensus on the necessity of having a list of formulas or which specific formulas should be prioritized.

Contextual Notes

Some participants express uncertainty about the scope of the request, questioning whether it is for a class or personal use. There is also a recognition that calculus is a vast topic, which complicates the creation of a comprehensive list of formulas.

Calc Formulas ~Help~

I am looking for an organized list of calc formulas, can anyone help me out?

well mathworld.com is a good resource but you'd be better off learning calculus than just memorizing formulae.
 
I agree. Calculus is a HUGE topic to cover in a list of formulas. Is this for a class?
 
agreed. a bit part of calculus is learning how to think for yourself. given a problem, methodically going from point to point to figure out a solution. the only "formulas" that i think are worth having, is a sheet with a bunch of integrals on it, since some of them are a pain to figure out or remember every time.
 
Yeah it doesn't help to memorize them. Then, you will need to know where they came from (how to derive simple formulas) and you will understand it better. However, like stated above, some reduction formulas may need to be memorized.

...and if you need to, use Wikipedia. I find it to be better than most online encyclopedias.

This used to be "Dave's Math Tables". The name has changed, but it is still a great resource.
Hope this helps.
