Edx/BUx Introduction to Differential Equations Starts 5/16

Haha.

I have been trying to do this course for a couple of weeks, but I just can't bring myself to get past the diagnostic test. I took calculus in high school and passed the AP test, but this is obviously a bit beyond that. I've been reading some of the "Dummies" books about calculus, but it might be just a bit too much to get up to speed before the midterm. I have been going back and forth about whether to give up and just focus attention elsewhere. I don't actually need these courses, except for a side goal of gaining teaching certification in math. Is there any kind of super-focused, very relevant source for this class that could help me achieve minimum passage without Herculaen effort?

Thx.

Did you take Calculus AB or BC? How long ago? How did you do on the AP exam?

At my local CC, Differential Equations is after Calc III, so even if you scored a 5 on the Calc BC exam, you'd probably be hard-pressed to take their DE course without the Calc III course.

You probably need to refresh Calc I & II (assuming you took BC), then take Calc III, and then take DE.
