I wouldn’t recommend taking anything past trig unless you’re a genius. What kinda math do you need to know to sling weiner?

If you rely on it to do your work then you’re going to fail but it’s an amazing tool to check your solution. |

I saw that assertion as well and looked it up, what I found was that they do make a small profit on the merchandise, but the vast majority is indeed from memberships. |

My dad had the programmable one and a printer for it IIRC. https://i.imgur.com/iJdceOD.jpg I can do basic stuff with it, but my career went a different direction and I don't need it and forgot math beyond the basics. Pic was for the mechanical pencil thread that I think cost someone else in here money too. Cool Pic to boot |

I barely graduated at the bottom of my class, just edging out the "special" kids in remedial school. When I graduated AIT, I set a record for GPA. Granted, it was an Army course, so that's not aiming all that high. It's kinda weird, a large portion of the videos I watch are related to physics, cosmology, nuclear physics, astronomy, etc. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By MaxxII: For an engineering student, you have a sense of humor and a good vibe. Hope you chose to stick around. Of course. Tutoring is my day job to earn money while in school. Typically helping K-12 with all levels of math and basic chemistry, but every once in a while someone comes in asking for help with biology so I use the internet and google my way out of it. Hoping to find something a bit more resume building next semester, but this plays nicely with my current school schedule and works for the time being. |

I took AP calc in HS, prolly could’ve gotten credit if I’d taken the test. But I didn’t because I think how the AP test works is stupid. Dual-enrollment is better but I couldn’t afford it at the time. So I retook in college and honestly they teach it better in college anyway. |
