MHB Calculus III is SO MUCH EASIER than Calculus II

Click For Summary
Calculus III is perceived as significantly easier than Calculus II, with many students expressing relief at the transition. The challenges of Calculus II, particularly with integration, are contrasted with the more straightforward concepts in Calculus III, which often involves three-dimensional topics. There is curiosity about Calculus IV, with some mentioning it includes differential equations. Additionally, comparisons are made between complex analysis and real analysis, with some finding the former easier. Overall, the discussion highlights a common sentiment among students regarding the varying difficulties of calculus courses.

I'm in Calculus III now, let me just tell you all - it is SO MUCH EASIER than Calculus II. I went through hell in Calculus II. Calculus III is so much easier that it's kind of ridiculous. What's Calculus 4 like?

yeah I could never remember the converge diverge tests

Calc 4 was multiple Integrals at least here it was

Your post reminds me that during college I felt like complex analysis was easier than real analysis.

When I went through Calc II was integration and Calc III was 3D stuff. Calc IV sort of existed... they called it Differential Equaitons." (The catalog needed to be updated.)

Well, sometimes complex analysis is. At least for us numbnuts that only have to use it, not to prove the methods.

Well, college students did only need to prove the methods.

Thread 'Problem with calculating projections of curl using rotation of contour'
Hello! I tried to calculate projections of curl using rotation of coordinate system but I encountered with following problem. Given: ##rot_xA=\frac{\partial A_z}{\partial y}-\frac{\partial A_y}{\partial z}=0## ##rot_yA=\frac{\partial A_x}{\partial z}-\frac{\partial A_z}{\partial x}=1## ##rot_zA=\frac{\partial A_y}{\partial x}-\frac{\partial A_x}{\partial y}=0## I rotated ##yz##-plane of this coordinate system by an angle ##45## degrees about ##x##-axis and used rotation matrix to...
