<p>i'm a junior and I have been self studying calculus also. what I did was I bought 3 calculus books from a bookstore and just studied the material, how did you guys do it?
the books were the schaum's outlines</p>
<p>svenue
yeah, our calculus teacher asked us this year if we did much center of mass in physics. And we said no so she decided to cover it. we cut it up into either vertical or horizonatl strips, according to preference and occasionaly dicatated by shape, and find moment of inertia around x and y and the mass of the object and then find center of mass. The thing is the density can vary like proportional to the square root of the distance for instance. Very boring, tedious and somewhat confusing. BC is still fine though i'm not saying don't take it, and i don't even think center of mass is on the ap test. Fluid pressure probably is and it is fairly boring.</p>
<p>All I want to know is if I do bad on the BC Part, and take BC again next year, will I be like one of those people who take SAT's 10 times?</p>
<p>No because you would only take it twice, hence much less than ten.
hehehehe</p>
<p>You skipped school today?
Why?
To post on here? lol</p>
<p>No. I was sick. I looked into sequence/series. That stuff doesn't seem too hard. I guess the hard part will be pulling everything together. So where do I stand against you guys in terms of taking BC in tenth?</p>
<p>Uh... you win?</p>
<p>Well, I keep hearing this stuff about genius people there. Not to say you guys aren't smart. You guys are some of best I have ever seen, and i probably won't ever reach your level. It is just in my local town, we had Anders Kaeseorg, and it is kind of hard to live up to him, as he won gold at IMO and IOI, and is a freshmen at MIT on their PUTNAM team.</p>
