I am signed up to take this class for the summer, and I was wondering how it is? My friends tell me that they liked calc 3 better than 2. If anyone has taken it, I would enjoy any feedback.
It's just takes what you already learned in Calculus 2 and applies it to more than two dimensions. If you made it through Calculus 2, you'll do fine in Calculus 3.
It's not nearly as difficult compared to Calc 2, though as usual try to get a good professor. As John basically said it's just taking what you've already learned in Calc 1, and applying it to 3 dimensions. Good Luck!
Colossal waste of time. Only took it in my Freshman year because my AP Exams got me out of all math requirements, so when the advisor suggested it to me, I just shrugged and answered sure. Definitely not as bad as Calc 1 and 2, but then again taking 1&2 in highschool was a completely different beast than taking anything in college where you only meet twice a week....
A little tougher than Cal 1, way easier than Cal 2. Cal 2 was a pain in the ass. I took Cal 3 online and it was 1000x better than the face to face lecture. Where are you taking it?
Rice doesn't have Calculus X after freshmen year. We call it Differential Equations and then Vector Calc. Are you talking about one of those?
It's not too bad at all. It's a little harder to visualize the integrals physically since it's in 3 dimensions. But if you did okay in the first two, you should be fine, just make sure to do the homework or practice problems - that will really help out on the tests (a lot of professors just pull similar problems from them). Hope that helps!
i had a really really hot professor, she wore tight jeans and low cut tops. her exams raped everyone though, i was lucky to pull out with a B. It's all about who teaches the class.
Just echoing what everyone else has said thus far: Cal 2 is the hardest Calc course; Cal 3 is your victory lap. At Texas Tech we had all 3 Calculus courses and an additional Differential Equations course we had to take.
What does "all 3 Calculus courses" mean. Our third math semester is Diff Eq. What is yours? Our 4th is vector calc.
First semester: Cal 1 (Derivatives) Second Semester: Cal 2 (Integrals) 3rd semester: Cal 3 (Partial Derivatives, Multiple Integration, Green's/Stokes theorem etc.) 4th Semester: Higher Math (Differential equations, Laplace transforms) 5th/6th Semester: Linear Algebra and Statistics (optional for a Math minor) I'm guessing your Vector Calc is Calculus 3.
well, considering your Calc 1,2, 3 semesters appears to be our Calc 1 first semester...i'm going to guess not. GO OWLS!! did you not see this coming!
At Lamar, Calculus 3 was Vector Calculus plus X-Dimensional Integration. Differential Equations with Linear Algebra was the 4th math that engineers took. It's changed since I left, but that's what it was 8 or 9 years ago.
You are so pompous and also so wrong. Calc 1, MATH 1431 at UH is equiv to Calc 1, Math 101 at Rice Calc 2, MATH 1432 at UH is equiv to Calc 2, Math 102 at Rice Calc 3 , MATH 2333 at UH is quiv to Multivar Calc, MATH 212 or MATH 221 Honor Calc 3 at Rice. Look it up.
Raiderrr..........Powerrrr......... Did you take linear? I'm taking it in the Fall just to complete that Math Minor, I heard it was cake
