curiously "calculus" comes from the latin word calculus, meaning "small stone", since small stones were used for counting and calculation.
for that reason kidney stone is "cálculo renal" in my language.
just an useless random fact because i have nothing do to

>>216724228
we say calculus for hardened plaque in your mouth

you can take calculus in high school, most people just don't have a reason to

even college calculus is a waste of time for most people who take it

>>216723767 (OP)
Even worse, it's considered "Advanced".

I didn’t even get to move on to high school calculus because my retarded ass had to retake algebra three times.

i took "business math" cause i didnt wannabe taking derivatives with the timmyettas

the majority of recent college graduates in the USA are underemployed

there is literally no reward for any of this

calculus is useless for 99% of the people
what about learning things than can enhance your day to day as an adult, faggot

>>216725550
Sad considering there's a very big chance you're considered clinically retarded.

I have an engineering degree with a math minor and I have never used any math beyond algebra since college

This thread makes me feel really bad about myself :(

Sad

I did up to calculus III (multivariable calc) in high school through a program with our local college. Did a huge amount of pure and applied math in college for my engineering degree. All a giant fucking waste now that I'm in medical school and totally burnt out on creating anything. I just want to show up, care for patients, and go home with a decent paycheck not do all this medical device bullshit

>>216723767 (OP)
stop lying you anti-American leftoid retard

>>216723767 (OP)
Not sure what the point is here but I'll bite.
Calculus is a senior-level (12th grade) math class in high school and freshman-level in college (for curricula that require it).
If that's funny or pathetic, etc., you'll have to tell me why.

>>216726012
>I just want to show up, care for patients, and go home with a decent paycheck

You’ll get burnt out from that, too

Nobody uses calculus in real life jobs

Calculus is 10th grade in Europe

I know. I'm going to end up killing myself in like 40 years because of how empty I have felt since childhood, I just know it. Every year, my dreams feel even more out of reach and the world frighteningly looms ahead
So my goal is anesthesiology jobs that pay just enough to let me take month long vacations at random times and fuck off to somewhere interesting

>>216726061
Wow that must be why you have so many famous scientists who produce all those world changing technologies

Don’t European cunts typically kick the dull and disabled out of school for not being able to keep up with their peers and make them take vocational courses?

>>216726087
Yea we outperform the US in natural sciences by like 20x per capita.

>>216723767 (OP)
Yes. I'll be taking real, complex, and fourier analysis as well. If it were 40 years ago I'd just do a math PhD but a nigga needs to pay the bills

Now that it's common knowledge that the education system is literally designed to make us retarded, what do Americans think of your experience? Even other countries know.

How far do you guys get in high school
I swear jeets and euros claim they do pde's in fucking high school. What's left, nigga?

>>216726156
They're mostly full of shit. Here you can cover calc 1 and 2 in high school through AP classes. Maybe euros also let you do calc 3 or they smush it together into the first two somehow. And i'd be willing to believe they're expected to do a watered down version of real analysis or "discrete math+" in engineering school since that's another thing these niggers gloat about. But no way in hell are they touching actual serious math in high school or forcing non-math majors to take seriously rigorous higher math courses.

we tkse remedial math ackshually

>>216726207
>biology is an unnatural science

Also worth noting: eurofags call applied, plug-and-chug calculus "analysis" instead of calculus. I think they (including OP) are confusing that for what we call in america "real analysis" which is rigorously proving the methods learned in plug-and-chug calc. I have a feeling there's some self-delusion going on, same as how our EE majors can take a class about numerical methods for complex functions but they call it "complex analysis" when it isn't actually analysis.

>>216726266
Do they really? What the hell

>>216726288
Yup lmfao

>>216726061
So what's 11th and 12th? Linear algebra? Differential equations?

>>216726317
both of those are done last year of high school if recall correctly and they didn't change it (they constantly shuffle shit around)

>>216726266
europeans are just retarded and don't do any research besides what they hear on reddit

Yeah I dunno what school that dude went to but we don't actually learn that shit

I took both my AP calculus exams in high school and passed them but my university still had me take one semester of calculus

>>216726576
I don't know why we can't get calc 3 out of the way in high school, it's certainly not harder than 2

>>216726576
That's lame and gay of them

>>216726585
PDEs were tougher than anything in calc 2 imo

calculus is a waste of time

>>216726673
What algorithm? Are you sure it wasn't linear algebra?

>>216726139
Does it really matter when you might also be a Mexican or something akin?

>>216723767 (OP)
yea, multivar and dif eq isn't available in hs typically, have to do college courses while in hs for that (probably varies by state but here it's allowed if your gpa is ok)
calc 1 and 2 are, though
>>216726061
imo if we cut the bloat calc could be 9th grade for at least a quarter of students, that's when I took it but only like 2 other 9th graders did in my hs of like 3500. Too many classes that are just repeated work, no learning

>>216726814
you use calculus in gradient descent, you take derivatives to find a minimum (reducing error), backpropagation, and other algorithms i don't remember now

>>216726576
AP classes are such a waste of time, so many colleges don't accept those credits, it's better to dual enroll into a local community college while in High-school and finish your prerequisites there.

Only stupid people learn calculus. Smart people are happy and thriving without ever learning it.

Calculus? We do real analysis you stupid Euro cuck

>>216723767 (OP)
what the fuck is calculus?

>>216726317
There is no 12th here

11th for me was wanking the unified state exam tasks - last of them could be done easier with differential equations

>>216726092
Nobody is kicked out. You apply to wherever you want and best grades and locals get dibs. People with shitty grades have two options (other than entering the work force or being a neet): study and fix their grades, or join something with lower requirements that they may ACTUALLY enjoy because they clearly dont care for studying boring shit and the grades reflect it. This means going to a school to become a mechanic or electrician or whatever and having a full time job before 20 and getting a massive headstart on investments by living with your parents and saving €40k a year without higher education. You can own a home with almost no debt in just a few years which is a lot better than getting a degree in history and ending up with the same wage and a bunch of debt at 25. Most people who try to make it to become doctors and lawyers dont stick long enough around before capitulating and getting a median wage office job.

It's a an actual blessing for these people to be told hey you suck at studying fix your shit or do something else instead of giving them a degree they cant use.

Yes business is a meme degree, we all know this. It exists solely for nepobabies to get 'credentials' so they can move into an overpaid made-up position at their dad's business.
