slamming my car door repeatedly on my crotch, gargeling sulpheric acid and listening to Gwen Stephanie would be more fun than taking calc 2 for a third time

Re: College Algebra and functions

see, if i can visualize it, it makes perfect sense.... trig sucked for me until i actually started applying it at my job and now its so easy its stupid. I'm sure once i understand how calc 2 fits into everything it'll be gravy. I just dont understand how the second integral of sin(x)/(sinxcosx) has any meaning to a mechanical engineer... isnt all that stuff for electrical engineering guys?

The show up sometimes in engineering analysis, bost most often in mechanics and dynamics when looking for center of mass and moments of inertia. Usually you will use a table for that anyhow in all practical applications though.

Diff EQ is used quite often. Anything that oscillates or vibrates will generally translate right into some form diff eq. Mechanical vibrations, circuits, fluids (gradients), etc, etc.

The more posts I see in this thread the dumber I feel :(

that's ok, don't feel sad, everyone is not a math genius...I'm sure you have other redeeming qualities about you :tup:
