Hardest math class you've taken?

[archcommus]

All I know is I keep screwing up my integration by parts problems!!

 

[CraKaJaX]

i hate math

 

[Inspector Jihad]

adv calc...i'm in it now.

 

[GarfieldtheCat]

Mechanics II -- Tensor math sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Calculus III and D.E. were both easier.

I thought Calc 2 was harder than those as well. I'm specializing in aerodynamics so vector calculus is pretty straightforward and easy to apply.

I was going to take a math course in partial differential equations... where all they do is tell you they can't be solved. Instead I took a course in computational fluid dynamics and went about solving them... numerically of course.

There are lots of ways to solve PDEs... They're just not happy.

Currently taking finite element analysis, which is basically a lot of math and numerical solutions of PDEs to model solid and fluid dynamics.

If you're having a problem figuring out what u and dv should be, use LIPET.

[slpaulson]

Calc 2 followed by Diff Eq

What is it?

EDIT: Googled it, thanks!

It's been a long time, but I'd say the calculus one where you do integrals and derivatives of infinite series.

That was calc 3 for me, but I think calc 2 for most. In comparision Diff Eq was much easier/more fun.

Vector calculus. Some schools call it calculus 4. I once tried to take a real analysis class, but after a few weeks I gave up because I didn't know what the heck was going on.

 

[AbAbber2k]

Calc 2, though apparently I have to take a stats class for my BS. Not sure how hard it'll be in comparision.

 

[thomsbrain]

the second college calculus course.

Okay I cannot integrate ln (2x+1) dx for the life of me. Dammit what am I doing wrong.

integrate by parts

Taking Calc AB this year as a senior in HS...it has been pretty easy so far. I never knew other schools offered AP calc courses as juniors, I hate the limitations my school puts on us in terms of course selection!

 

[drsafety]

Calc 3.

 

[alphatarget1]

linear algebra, lowest grade i have gotten in college so far (C).

Will be taking PDE sometime in the future, heard it's one of the hardest classes in undergrad.

integrate by parts

No, you don't need integration by parts. Try a regular u substitution with u=2x+1.

-Tom

That will work only if you know that the integral of ln(x)= x*ln(x)-x

 

[FeuerFrei]

linear algebra, I believe, if grade was any indication

I somehow managed A's in Calc 2&3

Well, I knew that

Intermediate microeconomics last year was rather challenging, even the econ majors seem to loathe it. I wish we did more game theory though.

 

[jspeicher]

my next four semesters are as such:

Calc I
Calc II
Calc III
Differential Equations
