I fell short of reaching my goal for this week which was to get through two sections, but I’m still very happy with the effort I put in and what I was able to learn/get through. Even though it took me a long time to get through the material, I felt like I had a… Read More Week 138 – When Calculus Starts to Feel Like Algebra

I hit my goal of getting 25% of the way through Applications of Integrals this week but I’m still not thrilled with the amount of progress I made or my understanding of the material that I got through (i.e. I don’t understand it..). Since I first began KA, I’ve always told myself that I’d do a MINIMUM… Read More Week 137 – Applications of Integrals: Slow Progress and Elusive Understanding

This week I passed the Differential Equations unit test on Tuesday which I was very happy about (although there were a number of questions where I wasn’t completely confident in my answer). After that, I started on the following unit, Applications of Integrals, but only made it through 4% of it which was disappointing. Of the few videos… Read More Week 136 – Putting Calculus to Work

I didn’t get started on the unit test from Differential Equations this week, but I did manage to get through the remaining videos and exercises in it. It took me three days to get through the 2nd and final exercise in the section Particular Solutions to Differential Equations. The calculus concepts from this exercise weren’t difficult to understand but… Read More Week 135 – Differential Equations: The Math Makes Sense, but Does It?
