Pointers are difficult to understand and use. This is why in a lot of other languages they left them out or kept in the background. My advice is to try to make it visual. Draw boxes of each memory address you are working with and use pointers to point to these boxes. It's a difficult topic...

No, But after a class is finished I always look back and forgot all the times I was ripping my hair out. So then I say it was easy.

I find the difficulty with engineering isn't really one class but that you are taking 5 difficult classes at the same time. Most schools that I have looked into don't require very many fluff classes. So you are going to be taking 5 engineering/science/math classes at the same time.

1. Physics 2 2. Dynamics 3. Thermodynamics 4. Strength of materials I am pretty excited! My first semester of majority all engineering classes!

Check out community college. There are quite a number of students in mine that while got accepted to virginia tech decided to go to community college and plan to transfer to tech or uva as juniors to save money. Some also have full scholarships at the community college. You can get all the...

I did that last year but I also took two electives so it was doable. It was hard work but I am an older student who knows what happens if you are not steve jobs and don't have a college degree. Last semester I took calc 3, diffy q, physics and statics. I felt like dying at times but I got...

dx can be treated as just another factor on the right side. So since they are all factors when you divide by y the y just goes away on the right side. Now if it was y + (whatever)dx, then yes if you divided by y you would have a dx/y.

You are doing it right, but when you divide by Y you will have dy/y, and that is perfectly acceptable. The right side you will have (1-x)/x^2 dx. Then integrate both sides.
