<p>I've taken calculus I and calculus II...but I don't remember anything from them. When I think of calculus, I stare off into the distant horizon with a blank stare...is that bad? Should I need to retake those classes? I can only remember what the integral sign looks like.</p>
<p>Once you finish Calculus I, II, only thing you need to remember is how to take derivative and integration. I don’t see the necessity for you to retake those classes but only reason would be is to bump up your GPA since you already have taken the course and easier to get A compare to other students who are oblivious on the subject. Also, you can make up for some bad grade you might get in future. Unless you are not going into math major, you can wing derivative and integral with TI-89 for engineer major courses. Just remember the calculus concept and knowledge. </p>
<p>If you are require to take Calculus III and Differential equation courses where you are not allow to use TI-89… than I say go back and retake those classes. Since you will be doing triple integration for volume in Calculus III and double to triple partial derivative in differential equation + integration of laplace transformation of infinite series.</p>
<p>I’ve retaken a number of calculus classes and not found that retaking them helps me learn them any better. Your mileage may vary.</p>
<p>alrighty, thank u</p>
<p>I would think that if you’ve got the credit and have learned the material before but need to refresh, you’d be best served by just looking at a calc book and going through what you feel like you need to brush up on.</p>
<p>Will a calc I from a community college count for calc I in engineering? I hear that engineers have to take calculus classes with other engineers so it can be more advanced, or something to that extent.</p>
<p>@LLaKHigH: if the calculus course from the community college is tailored towards science and engineering students, then it is likely that it will be accepted by 4-year institutions that may grant engineering degrees. Check with the university of your choice for more reliable information.</p>
<p>@schaden: check your class notes and/or perhaps grab a good calculus books. Math is more about how to solve problems than memorizing formulas.</p>
