Best resource for learning Calc II?

[litttlechica]

I was fortunate enough to love the teaching style of my Calc II professor (although he also talked to himself when he wrote on the board... you don't go to UM-Dearborn do you? Lol) but my sister is in college now and had the worst time with her professor and Calc II.

This is the resource I always used to remember how to do things or learn different methods if she was doing one I didn't do.

They're nice and simple and spell things out.

Like others mentioned, half the battle is learning what your professor wants to see and giving that exact thing on exams. Maybe he likes work and doesn't care about your answer, etc. Only way to get a good grip on this and what kinds of problems will be on the exams is taking advantage of office hrs.

Read your fucking textbook.

I remember my Calc 2 professor, he was much the same as yours. He would write on the board with his left hand, so he could erase with his right. He never turned around the entire lecture. Luckily we also had recitation classes. That is where I actually learned more about the application of the theories as they pertained to the assignments.

Calc 2 is trivial. If you can't ace it, you need to retake calc 1. Again.

Calc 2 was the hardest for me. I got a high A in Calc I and Calc III but barely got a B in Calc 2 :\ Maybe it was just the teacher.
