    why does chem in college have to be so SO hard






    . . .



    as goes for calculus


    life seems to be never ending of unit conversions, formulas, and graphs z0mg

    It only gets better, wait til you actually get to o-chem and p-chem... They were spectacular...

    Calculus is just as amazing as physics... It's either you get it or you don't with the proofs, then all of a sudden you got touched by an epiphany (or something) and you just GOT how everything works out. It's quite fantastic -lol

    omg....soooo true...really soooo true. i used to sit there and just cry cause i was seriously wondering if i am not smart at all and should actually stop giving the university all this money that i don't have and just go and apply at the nearest mcd's. but then....out of nowhere, the clouds parted and the sun came thru. hahaaa....after that, i always wondered why i didn't get it when it is so obvious...

    It was quite the amazement that no matter how hard you tried, you couldn't get it any sooner... But it was quite the shock to just blink and realize "I actually know how this works"

    LOL, it depends on the person... I found o-chem difficult, especially when your prof does nothing and have no notes for you... Reading that 2000pg+ tome was a killer.

    damn...u shoulda attended my o-chem classes for me and i will take b-chem for u...


    it really was a blink of an eye...my tutor was like sitting there staring at me like i shoulda been asking her if she wanted to biggie size his fries instead of being a uni student, and i was just sitting there staring at the page, when it just clicked. no rhyme or reason as to how. it just did.

    i think im taking b-chem o_O but im @ a communiy college, so it's called something weird i think, like 101A or maybe that's newb chem, compared to w/e you guys have taken


    and can some1 quickly explain what are limits o_O in a quick quick summary, cuz iono what on earth the book is saying,


    limit x---> 1 w/ a function ?????????????????

    means = failure to me

    It's taking the slope of each point in a given formula then plot a graph out of it? Can't really say... Kind of like asking me to explain what an apple is @_@bb

    a limit is like all the numbers you can get approaching a certain value.

    its kind of like walking towards a wall, you can get super close but you cant go through the wall. the wall is the limit.

    often you are looking from both sides of the equation as well, so you're approaching the limit from two directions.

    usually you solve it algebraically, although there are a few different ways of finding the answers to limits




    say you have lim x--> 2 and your function is 3x^2 - x - 10 / x^2 - 4

    the first thing you do is plug in x = 2 to see what you get

    if you put two into this you find out that you get 0/0 which means you've gotta do some factoring

    it factors to (x-2)(3x+5) / (x-2)(x+2)

    you can cancel out the (x-2)'s and you're left with lim x--> 2 (3x+5) / (x+2)

    now you plug in 2 for your x again (3(2) + 5) / (2+2)

    and you get 11/4 which is your limit
     
  12. lol that was a lame interpretation.. so is young lee-lee studying to be a doctor of some sort?

    I dunno about o-chem or b-chem.. but those titties is killing me...

    ha its just chem
    wait till u get the thermodynamics bit
    well it cant be harder than fluid dynamics and CFD can it
     
  19. it seems to me you guys have found mathematical enlightenment... i guess im just dumb =(

    this succccckkkkkksssssss =(

    i dont get ittttttttttttt

    actually i do understand it, but i forget afterwards......
