<p>I really need help in passing Calc 2 so that i can get out of my CC. I would have dropped it but it is what is getting me to the 61 units.</p>
<p>Does anyone have advice to help me pass....besides studying. Our school only offers math tutors up to Calc 1. Maybe someone out there knows a great tutor?</p>

<p>oo ok thank you. this does look good</p>
<p>Here’s another resource for you in a slightly longer form (full lectures from MIT):
[Single</a> Variable Calculus | MIT Video Course](<a href=“http://academicearth.org/courses/single-variable-calculus]Single”>Online College Courses & Accredited Degree Programs - Academic Earth)</p>
<p>@bakemaster. most of that looks like calc 1?</p>
<p>if you want the MIT lectures for the 2nd half of Single Variable Calculus then look here</p>

<p>Great links guys. Although I 've used Cramster a lot, my textbook doesn’t seem to be covered for calc2 even though calc1 was all good.</p>
<p>Look up PatrickMT or something like that for really awesome vids too.</p>
<p>Calc II is definitely hard. I’ve taken every single undergraduate math class (starting with Calc I and including intro to statistics) and gotten an A in all of them. Calc II, however, gave me a B. </p>
<p>That said, use Pauls Online Notes ([Pauls</a> Online Notes : Calculus II](<a href=“http://tutorial.math.lamar.edu/Classes/CalcII/CalcII.aspx]Pauls”>http://tutorial.math.lamar.edu/Classes/CalcII/CalcII.aspx))
Not only it is incredibly helpful, it was actually our textbook for both Calc I and II. This was a good math department at a four-year.</p>
<p>wow thanks alot everyone. good to know im not the only one who has had a difficult time with this subject</p>
<p>I’ve taken up to calc 3 and all i needed was cramster. I know you hate to hear it but what it really is is just practice practice practice. I remember being stuck on some homework problems for an hour or more until I figured it out. But once I got it I was much better at those types of problems from then on. I got an A in all three courses if that makes my advice sound any better lol</p>
<p>Calc III was the hardest class I have ever taken!
I’m currently taking Linear Algebra, and even though it’s getting harder each section, it is much more easy than Calc 3.</p>
<p>@xfer123
it actually does validate ur advice lol. i guess im going to be studying my butt off</p>
<p>^ yeah calc 2 is difinitely the hardest out of the three. In addition to practice, you should try to train yourself to think more conceptionally, I guess? Linear Algebra is easier than calc 1 and calc 3 is a lot of visual 3-d stuff which is easy if you’re a visual, concept person.</p>
<p>I’m going to second the Khan Academy suggestion. It was more helpful for Calc 1 than Calc 2, but it’s still a great resource. Salman Khan is a very good instructor and makes concepts easy to learn and follow.</p>
<p>Slightly unrelated, I’ve been finding Calc 2 much easier than Calc 1 so far. Everything seems to be better integrated. Calc 1 seemed like a bunch of unrelated concepts thrown together into one class.</p>
<p>After this semester i will have completed all the requirements for a degree in Applied Math from Berkeley so i’ve pretty much taken all the standard lower and upper division math courses. I found multivariable calculus to be the most difficult of the lower divs but it really wasn’t that bad. For upper division, algebra was definitely the most non intuitive for me.</p>
<p>There might also be some Calc 2 content on [Donny</a> Lee’s channel](<a href=“http://www.youtube.com/user/donylee]Donny”>http://www.youtube.com/user/donylee), though most of what I’ve seen is Calc 3.</p>
<p>Calc 3 for me was by far the most difficult of the series. Some of that had to do with the teacher; a lot of it had to do with the computer-based homework problems. We used CourseCompass, which in my opinion is little more than a way for instructors to cut corners and not put in the work the students deserve. The problems it gave us for center of mass calculations were so long and convoluted that enough students complained so that he ended up making it an optional extra-credit assignment. We’re talking integrals that Wolfram Alpha couldn’t chew through, and problems taking over half an hour each when a dozen were assigned on Monday to be due Wednesday.</p>
