I keep telling myself I KNOW I can, but there's always doubt until its over with, you know?
BTW, what sort of calculator do you use? I HAD to buy a Ti-84 for my Precalc class. She won't allow a Ti-89. But I've heard Ti-89s are better. I didn't know if it mattered or not. To start with I don't want something that's too good, cause I want to be doing it in my head instead of relying on a machine. Machines are good as long as you can do it on your own.
Anyway, thanks for the help people. I will not have much of a social life the next four months. To be honest I'm kind of looking forward to it. I'll be like a monk.  |
Hah the TI-84 is a very nice calculator but probably not what you are looking for. Most lower level classes won't let you use them on tests because it can do algebra. On the same note I can't use my TI-84 on calc tests either. Most Calc professors are balls deep in the TI-30. They are pretty basic but have some time saving tools on them. Relatively cheap too.
I always get freaked out about how hard people say engineering is but you have to remember there is always someone less competent than you that graduated. So far it is not too bad. Most people I've met your age have no problem just because they are dedicated. Hit me up next time you are down here.
