Completed 12 Straighterline Courses in 30 days!

Hey Spatton,

I took the general calculus course. Interestingly (and not shown on my signature), my first two courses were the ECE Intro to Psychology and Calculus I, both of which I got a 'B' grade for during the free beta testing. This was back in 2008, but such is life Smile

What maths do you know so far?

What calculus do you know so far?

Before I went into this course, I was all up on precalculus, linear algebra, and calculus up to calc 3 (geometrical/differential equations - linear algebra + calc) plus a whole load of other interest maths modules include number theory, analysis and propositional/predicate/modal logic. And I only got an approximate passing 70% with SL because I didn't practice as much as I should have.

The point is, if you're familiar with the material, you'll be fine. If you can afford to take your time, you'll especially be good. I had a load of group theory and stuff and beacause I had forgotten the basics, calculus was harder than it needed to be. As long as you get your practice problems in, you will pass.

Any advice from oe500 is particularly relevant as he's going for a maths major. Ultimately, check the syllabus and practice the hell out of the questions and you'll be fine.

Good luck!
