>>9907914I actually made sure to read up on derivatives before I even started the class, after squeezing my way through a rushed online precalc course as I'm already a post-grad student taking this to go back for a grad program and:
>derivatives are not that bad on their own aside from having to do shit like x^-.23 or whatever, but already getting into second level and implicit derivatives in the first 2 weeksWhat the FUCK is this shit how does this relate to applied calculus in the first place I just need to learn this shit for data analysis and programming
Overall doing actual differentiation isn't THAT bad with a calculator and some paper but it ramps up too fast
