Ya’ll should see some algebraic topology. Makes you question everything.

My calculus instructor was from China and his accent was brutal. I can still hear him speak and wonder to myself how the hell I was ever going to pass the class. Thank god for tutors.

This is wild my brother is 6 years older and his instructor was Chinese...Did only people from Asia teach Calculus?

Stereotypes are stereotypes for a reason.

Truth. Almost every programmer in our company is of Asian decent, but they all migrated or were relocated to the Canadian main office..

What the hell does this even mean?? Can we please get this thread back to something I can understand.......like food?

Ok, I may as well be reading Mandarin (not a language I know, for clarity).

Can you explain that to me like I'm 5? I don't understand any of it other than it's showing the relationships between something? Lol, in the 3+ mins that I read and reread that and try to reduce it to something I could understand, that's how far I made it. But you have me intrigued.

 

[Some Irish Bloke]

But seriously... what is AP "pre"-calculus? Is this new? Is the point to give you an extra year of AP math? (Obviously, there are hard math problems that are not Calculus.)

I took AP Pre-Calc in HS, I don't think they offered pure "calculus" when I was there as a part of our curriculum. And that was back in 2010

You can eat your food when you solve the equation!

Ok hold your horses...

AP US History, AP European History, AP Physics, AP Calc AB, AP Microeconomics, AP Macroeconomics, AP US Govt & Politics, AP Comp Govt & Politics...

Set me up to never use it lol

I thought I'd be clever and pull up a 'quick' video that quickly breaks this down....



And then I realized there is so much mental atrophy with time and a lot of a priori knowledge baked into these lectures that I may as well be a monkey watching staff at CERN.

The 1990s were truly a wonderful time.

I'm sure the discourse over on the Auburn forums looks just like this.

The ELI5 is that there’s this whole concept of homology, which is basically like how many holes a shape has. It helps us count things and distinguish objects - even shapes that are made out of other shapes.

The snip I shared was the response to a question someone had about whether or not two spaces (top left Eq(C), bottom right colim Eq(Xi)) had the same homology. If you can construct a sequence of mappings with an attached isomorphism, then they do have the same homology. And this is what the author does.

And so those diagrams that represent the sequences of mappings are instrumental. Losing a component is like losing Ty Chan from the roster - nothing connects right and everything breaks.

What?? Not in College either? That's wild and I needed up to Calculus III for my major😔

He must have gotten pushed into a sports major. You know, the kind of stuff Harbaugh complained about at Michigan before he left Stanford and the NFL to rejoin the skunkbears and do the same thing?

Add some man on goat references and you got it.

Funny enough this is also how I imagine what Michigan fans are doing while standing in line to get their home game tickets at Walmart.

 

[Cackalacky2.0]

Nuke... I may be mis-recalling but I thought you went the Naval School in Charleston so you probably (definitely) took some high level mind bending courses.

Must've been something like History, English, Sociology or even Anthropology because my siblings from that era in College early to mid 90s in OSHA and Architecture certainly needed Cal.

Ol' Harbaugh, can never forget him and it's crazy because he was very successful at Stanford.

I'm a high school AP Calculus teacher. This was the second year that AP Precalculus has existed. The concepts don't tie into AP Calculus as much as you'd expect, I'm told it was designed to give students college-level Algebra credit. It has gaps compared to our regular Honors Precalculus, but the rigor and formal math language skills it builds make up for that.

Most college students I've talked to find Calculus II to be tougher than Calculus III, though I'm sure it depends on the program you're in.

I never took Calc III, but I have heard it was way more intellectually and conceptually engaging than Calc II. Based on my experience in Calc II, I believe that. This probably contributes to the perceived ease.

That's exactly what one of my kids told me it's just a way to get a Math college level credit so I guess that makes sense.

We have a Food thread...never in a million years would I have expected there to be a Calculus thread on this site.

Calc III wasn’t too bad conceptually if you understood Calc II well.

Unfortunately for me, the profs in ND’s mathematics department can hardly be understood through their thick European accents. I had Dr Muh-chew (Mathieu)
