In summary, the conversation is about a student struggling with their Calculus II class due to their professor's teaching style. They are looking for additional resources, such as websites or books, that can provide conceptual explanations to help them understand the material better. One suggested website is Khan Academy. The student expresses frustration with only learning the mechanics of problem-solving and not the underlying concepts, which they believe is hindering their progress in math.

Helpful Calc II websites??

Im not sure if this is the appropriate thread for this question so I apologize in advance if its not. I am taking a calc II class, but my professor has a horrible accent along with the complete inability to teach. My professor spends the entire lecture doing example problems with little explantation. I would like to hear/read some explanation/conceptual reasoning so i can understand why I am looking for convegence/divergence or why I am doing cetain things. I've found a website called Pauls Online notes which is helpful at times. But I am curious if anyone else knows of helpful websites (or any other means e.g. books) that can tell me why and not just how to do a problem.

I haven't checked it out for myself, but Khan Academy is supposed to be pretty good.

I'll give that a shot. It seems in this class I am only learning the mechanics of how to do problems and not the concepts..which seems to be abosutely detrimental to a student trying to continue on to higher mathmatics
