Hi all! I'm starting Calculus 2 this Spring at my college and I was wondering what to look out for. Any specific series or problems that might be a headache? What do you suggest I prepare "better" for? Thanks for your time!

You need to know your algebra, and transcendentals [trig, logarithms and exponentials]
Calculus 2 is the second course in the calculus sequence, building upon the concepts learned in Calculus 1. It focuses on techniques and applications of integration, infinite series, and differential equations.
Yes, Calculus 2 assumes a solid understanding of the concepts covered in Calculus 1, such as limits, derivatives, and basic integration. It is not recommended to take Calculus 2 without first completing Calculus 1.
Some of the main topics covered in Calculus 2 include integration techniques (such as substitution, integration by parts, and partial fractions), applications of integration (such as volumes of revolution and arc length), and infinite series (such as geometric and power series).
To prepare for Calculus 2, it is recommended to review the concepts covered in Calculus 1, as well as familiarize yourself with basic integration techniques. You can also look for online resources or practice problems to help solidify your understanding.
Some common challenges in Calculus 2 include understanding the various integration techniques and when to apply them, as well as mastering the concept of infinite series. It is important to practice regularly and seek help from your professor or classmates if you are struggling with any concepts.
