I don't use a book. We use this program called Mathematica (I never want to hear it's name again) which has files and tutorials in it that teaches us. It is like a language such as BASIC but for math. Every other week there is one day dedicated to the TA lecturing about what we should have taught ourselves for the last week and a half. The rest of the days (its 50 minutes every day) we spend sitting in the computer lab learning this shit on our own and making programs utilizing the calculus we are learning. I hate it, because I can't teach myself this stuff, I have no idea where this shit is derived from.

The general consensus at the University of Illinois is that math is WAYYYYY too hard, my brother's friend who is a Civil Engineer (need math for that?) took Calculus 2 at U of I and got a C. He decided to take the rest of his math courses at our community college back home, because well, U of I sucks at teaching math.

And it's too late for me to tell you my math problems, the exam is tomorrow. But then calculus will be out of my life forever. JUST LIKE CHEMISTRY!!!

Thanks for the support too.
