Inspired by a page in a shitty textbook, I felt inspired to write a calculus journal.
Yesterday, I reviewed using the first derivative test to find relative extrema on a closed interval. I wanted to try it with trig functions, but my teacher has not went over the derivatives of the trigonometric functions. I should get to know them today.

Yes, my teacher uses this text that introduces it late in the course.

have you at least gone over exponentials and logarithms doodthing;

I know the properties of them, but not the calculus. How the textbook is structured, we learn the basics of differentiation and integration first with polynomials and some other elementary functions, and then we do the calculus with the transcendental functions. The course is a high school level calculus course, so it's not really difficult.

sounds silly doodthing;

my class of course started differentiation with polynomials, but then went on to the others
same with integration

the thing is, though, we never actually learned how to find the derivatives of the transcendentals, we were just told what they are which was stupid
eventually i read a textbook that showed how to differentiate a logarithm of arbitrary base and from there you can derive just about all the others with implicit differentiation

I've decided to withdraw from AP Calculus next year due to the teacher being abrasive on me.
I'm now trying to figure out where I should learn my further calculus studies. doodthing;

i've heard tales of wandering vagabonds hopping from train car to train car with nothing but the shirts on their backs and advanced to intermediate calculus texts

I should learn the calculus myself. Thanks for inspiring me. doodthing;

NO YOU FOOL DON'T YOU SEE
calculus is beautiful :'(

Today, I found a solution for my future calculus education: distance learning after school. What extra courses should I take instead of AP Calculus? I'm thinking two years of Latin.
