How to Enjoy Calculus Eli S. Pine
Publisher: Arco Pub

Calculus was what math could really do! For twenty years I believed that I hated calculus. I'm just going to say it: I'm not all that keen on reading Leviticus in the Bible. Leviticus computes about as well with me as calculus. Writing a textbook is so much work that very few of the textbook writers I know ever find the time to enjoy the money they may have made. Especially Calc II, the class I'm now taking again. In fact I hated, hated, hated it. This branch of Math is related to limits, integrals, functions and derivatives and it also involves two major division operations like differential calculus and integral calculus. I enjoyed my calculus classes, even though I was nearly phobic of them at first, because they finally showed me why I had studied algebra all that time. Of course, as I got older, it became harder and harder to find the time to write, because I was also supposed to be doing things like calculus--things that I was also good at. Because when I went to college the first time, I did not enjoy calculus. €�Cognitive” intelligence represents your ability to do things like calculus, while non-cognitive intelligence represents “soft” or “social” skills. Of course, if you're sitting around doing something mind-numbing like calculus, a casual listen-through of your favorite albums is perfectly acceptable.
