It would probably be a waste of time to take applied calculus if you intend on taking calculus 1 for science majors afterward. Trigonometry is important in calculus and used all the time. I would just follow the track your school has and take pre-calculus II and then calculus 1 without the...

You seem very paranoid with your crazy speculation. Why would a high school teacher be jealous of a kid? You haven't even accomplished anything for him to envy. If I were a teacher I'd be proud to inspire someone to major in the same field I studied. Don't you think you might be shifting...

I'm really proud of you B3NR4Y after reading this thread. It's no easy task to work through social situations with aspergers, but you're doing it. I hope this helps you a lot in your personal development.

I have never once encountered a "bully" math teacher in my life and find it hard to believe they even exist. While it's certainly possible that some exist, I have noticed that every single time I've spoken to a classmate that claims their teacher hates them I quickly realize they're irrational...

i need micromass in my life

Taking calculus 3 without linear algebra is totally fine. If you have a solid understanding of calc 1 and 2 then calc 3 should be doable. The only issue for me was trying to visualize everything in my head; it can be abstract and weird at first. I hope you have have fun with it. It would...

The way you totally misunderstood Evo's post and then accused her of being cyberbully is totally ridiculous. This is probably the kind of behavior that is getting you bullied. Are you not aware of it? I kind of hope you're just trolling and not really this unaware. People on the physics...

It's difficult to answer this without knowing what you're looking for in a university. What is your major? What are your interests?

Feeling bad and losing confidence in yourself seems fairly normal for any difficult science/math class. There have been numerous times in school where I felt like I wan't intelligent enough to make it through a course because of a difficult test. It's important to realize that one exam is not...

We need a lot more information to answer this question. What state are you from? What college does he want to go to? What major? In California you can get into a good UC with about a 3.2+ gpa. For UCLA and UCB you need 3.5+ and as close to a 4.0 as possible. A 3.0 will probably get you...

Where do you live? Community college transfers to schools like UCLA and UC Berkeley do not require SAT scores. It is indeed a long shot to get into schools like MIT from CC. If it's been your life's dream to go there then yeah, I would retake the SATs and apply. It doesn't hurt to try...

Right, that makes sense that it should be called maximal. That's what I was trying to describe. Bad word choice by me.

Homework Statement Suppose that a menu consists of 4 main dishes, 9 choices of side dishes, and 6 desserts. A small meal consists of one main dish and two different side dishes and no dessert. A large meal consists of one main dish, two different side dishes and dessert. How many patrons must...

Homework Statement This question has two parts: a) How many integers are there between 100 and 1,000,000 with the property that the sum of their digits is equal to 6? b) How many integers are there between 100 and 1,000,000 with the property that the sum of their digits is less than 6...

One of the best math professors I ever had in college has horrible ratings on ratemyprofessors. Some of those ratings have been somewhat accurate but others can be completely wrong. It's impossible to rely on anonymous ratings since they're often biased and some people tend to blame the...
