I wouldn't go straight to worthless. I got 10 credits for it (Intro I and II, both 5 credits, and I sure don't go to MIT) albeit they were for algebra-based. I still took calculus-based, but the stuff I learned in AP Physics B (like E&M, thermodynamics and waves, optics) were helpful. It can't...

I personally thought Calc III was much, much easier than Calc II. I've heard that from a lot of people too, depending on what your school is like, it's pretty much extending Calc I into multiple variables with a couple other things included.

With respect to theta? omega?

I don't know much about partial derivatives, but it seems weird that what you're solving for (dz/dx), is also your last term on the right side of the equivalency. EDIT: Upon further review, looks like I just don't know enough. Sorry for this not-so-helpful post :(

I love how you can learn many foreign languages and still not being able to communicate with a big part of the world, but you can learn math and discover the language of the universe. Math is spoken (almost) uniformly by every intelligent being we know of. Beautiful.

Contrary to what Nabeshin said, having a powerful laptop able to do run simulations was/still is extremely nice for working from my apartment and working after hours in my REU this year.

In my REU we just got to sit down in front of a panel of 5 graduate admissions committee members. Someone brought up peace corps, and they unanimously said that it wouldn't hurt your grad school application. In fact, they said that it looks good and that you really look committed to what you...

Be careful in evaluating the definite integral - your answer is right but all of the terms from.your lower limit evaluation.should be in parentheses, the minus sign distributes. PS- sorry about the periods, my phone is being glitchy!

Did you pass your calculus AB class and get college credit for it? If so, taking the Calculus for Life and Social Sciences might be a little too repetitive, unless you're extremely unsure of your calculus skills.

Are you moving on to college? If so, then calculus II would be a good fit.

For one thing, the numbers in the way you listed them are called a sequence. Do you see a pattern among those numbers? That may help you.

Either way you look at it you're applying a torque to your system if you're giving supplying a force perpendicular to the system...

Not all brilliant physicists/mathematicians started out as child prodigies. Michael Faraday started at his job as basically a janitor, moving up the ranks to one of the greatest experimental physicists ever.

Nope I took it at a public school. First year (non-AP) covers all mechanics, then AP covers the aforementioned topics, with the most time spent on E&M.
