My mistake. I am in my freshmen year now, and will only have calc 1 finished.

I have already completed all of my liberal education courses except for one during high school (College Classes). Right now I am a freshmen, so I was hoping I could graduate in 2014, but that may not happen. The problem is that all of the physics courses are only offered during either the Fall...

Putting in enough time to understand the material fully (Which for me is a lot more than normal). Shouldn't have said "as much as possible" though. Anyway thanks again for the input.

I am worried that because I didn't feel comfortable in calculus, I may have trouble with upper division physics/math. That's is the reason I quit last semester. I have to admit, I didn't spend a ton of time studying, which was probably a big problem. I should have studied as much as possible...

It seems like I really jumped the gun on this one. My calculus professor made it seem that by asking her questions, which she thought were trivial, I didn't have the mathematical intuition to become a physicist. Anyway, you guys opened my eyes a little bit. I realized that I should have kept...

I just wanted to see if anyone else struggled with calculus and still did well in Physics. I definitely agree, now that I am looking at what I did from a different perspective, that it was way too premature to give up on this. I came out of community college getting easy A's, and expected this...

I know, the title is stupid, but I didn't know how else to phrase it. Last semester I got a B in Calc 1, and didn't feel very comfortable with the material. I was taking Biology and chemistry so it was definitely a tough semester, but now I gave up on my physics major because I feel like I am...

Like the other people said, the more you practice, the better off you will be. I used to hate mathematics, up until last year. I think the reason was that I never felt very uncomfortable on the tests. I would try to study my notes instead of doing the assigned problems for the exams. Although...

You should start with learning college algebra, followed by trigonometry. I think you should try khanacademy.org out. On the website, they have online lectures that can teach you some of the concepts of algebra/trigonometry (They also have calculus on there). Unfortunately, the algebra and trig...

Yes, my calculus professor has been letting us use a notecard of notes for our tests. The notecard is 3x5 so it is not very big, but it is useful. It is at a two year community college. My teacher actually let us talk to other students for sixty seconds during our last test. I thought that...

If you can find the time, and it won't affect your grades, you should definintely do calculus on your own. I was in a similar situation last year. Last year I was taking college pre-calculus in high school, but ended up learning some calculus on my own. My favorite website was khanacademy.org...

That is what I am trying to avoid. I want to know if graduate schools will let me replace the grade if I retake it. From your experience, it sounds like they may not completely get rid of the worse grade. Like I said before, Pharmacy schools average the two grades out, but I want to know what...

First let me give you some information about myself. I am currently a freshmen in college who is planning on getting an undergraduate degree in Physics. During my junior/senior years at high school i took two years worth of college courses. The problem is that I got a D in an upper level English...

Thanks for all of the information.

Pengwuino said it perfectly. The majority of people around the world would agree that terrorism is something we need to fight, but are our tactics working?
