>earned a 20% on my calculus II final
Holy fuck lads, I thought I was smart, I thought I could make it. All along I was deluded, im a brainlet, im never going to make it.

how does this even happen? surely if you know so little to get a 20 on the final you would have droppes the class?

Calc 2 is notorious as being a tough hurdle for some people. Stop being a fag and study harder next time.

its actually fucking hilarious to me because the first and 2nd exams I did rather well on, getting around an ~80% on both. However the following exams were absolutely fucking horrendous where I got D's on both. Had a bit of hiccup because my friend raped some girl and I had to deal with the fallout for about a month, and ended up depressed and unmotivated. I sorta came out of it towards the end, and studied for a bit each day, but I couldnt recall most of the stuff from the beginning of the semester, and the material we went over in the latter half of the semester kind of went completely over my head.

Looks like im taking it again next semester, I kind of want to kill myself though, so much money wasted.

I heard or read the brain learns shit when you are depressed. Same with me man, I spiraled down to a really "blackpilled" state. Read and gulped down every bit of realistic shit there is, "pessimistic" some would call it, I think it's the truth, I'm an insect. If it's been just a few months maybe you can make it. I don't remember what it used to be like to be excited holding a pen on my hand with a book and paper on the desk, in fact I demoralized myself about it, as if it's a pointless endeavor.
I wish the best for everybody specially my family, but I think this is it

in my experience calculus II wasn't so much difficult as was the volume of crap you have to memorize. by the time you get to calc III the good students know the jig is up and are better prepared for what is now expected of them.

Me self-study. It's tough and you are not actually earning credits or shit. Why do I do it? The knowledge, the understanding, the clarity you get once you "get it".

There is an idea from that movie "The Man from Earth", the protagonist was not particularly intelligent, but he had time, a lot of it, and through that, he could get an understanding nobody could else dream of. You have time, use it.

It’s a shitpost. Sometimes you see less-than-stellar students flock to category theory for prestige because it’s seemingly agnostic to mathematical canon by design (theory of arrows and diagrams, abstract nonsense, super powerful because it’s applicable everywhere). The joke is that you need a lot of mathematical maturity and a decent amount of background in topology and algebra to even appreciate category theory to a nontrivial extent. Otherwise you’re left jerking yourself off to things like forgetful functors without really understanding them in a deep way.

well as a first year phys 2 including Gauss law, Faraday's law, basic Maxwell's eq. was much harder than calc 2. We were applying calc that wasn't seen in calc 2 and the exams were brutal. Good for you if you found that easy I guess.

I mean...it’s not hard. It’s calc 3 material but vector calculus isn’t that hard. At the level of a first year phys 2 class, your visualization skills should kick in whenever you had to do surface integrals. Better yet, those classes aren’t even very mathematically rigorous, so you can analogize to your heart’s desire and you’ll be right like 90% of the time. This was very useful for integral for intensity calculation, for example.

I'm not the one being elitist here. You're the one getting slapped for thinking your struggle in an early physics class was significantly worse than one in early math. Both pale in comparison to upper div and graduate work in general.

I can smell the sophomore status on you.

Calc II is just memorizing integral patterns. I'm guessing you didn't study whatsoever. You're not dumb, you just suck at studying.

My advice, write formulas down on cue cards and flip through them constantly. Write them out by hand as well.

The day before your exam, go and find an empty classroom, and glance at and try to write down memorized formulas. The ones you suck at you do twice or three times.

Too late now, but whateve, don't beat yourself up.

OP said he did fine in the beginning so if it's anything like most burger calc2 classes he was probably fine with the integration, since he fucked up the end he probably got dicked by series. But series are similar to integrals based on what you said about just noticing patterns. After a while for most basic series you should be able to have a good intuition if they will converge or diverge just by looking at them and then it just becomes a matter of what test to use. So I guess I'm basically just saying what you were saying about integrals, but in regards to series.
