The semester begin tomorrow -- I'll be teaching a calculus class at the
university campus (which is not a "junior college"), 8:30-9:20 MWF,
Keller Hall room 403. The class is full but I'll let you register,
if you think you can handle the class.
Oh Calculus. I enjoyed it so much I took it twice! :-)
Oh I learned enough to do exam problems to pass, but
I can't say that I actually learned anything enough
to actually use it to solve a real world problem.
I once could do (intergral)(csc x^3)/(tan^2 x^4 +1) dx
but what would you use that on?
Oh and proofs. What a waste of time proofs were. And
you never had to do any on tests. I must have missed the day
of class where they taught how to do proofs and how
to read them. And why you should care. It seemed to
be just so much BS, as the only real proof of something
is what gets a right answer on a test.
