Why can't my professors be like this? I cracked up when he pulled out the bowl.

Exactly, if my professor was like this, I probably would have gone past Calc II.

A nice recap, I doubt anyone can just pick up calculus from this.

Plus, calc 1 was a breeze, calc 2 is where the brain-pain started.

Out of interest, I've never heard this naming scheme (calc 1, calc 2, etc?) back in the UK but it seems quite common in the US. Is the content of these courses very standardized? How far does the sequence go?

It's very standard.

Calc 1: Differentiation up to the Chain Rule, with applications like maximization problems. Basic integration, up to the Substitution Rule.

Calc 2: More-difficult integration techniques (integration by parts, trigonometric substitution, partial-fraction decomposition), infinite series. Most people find Calc 2 the toughest because of the infinite series.

Calc 3: Multivariate calculus, partial derivatives, lots of 3D stuff. Easy, intuitive, spatial.

I love it. "Computers know calculus, everyone knows calculus, you've got to learn calculus."

I am learning calculus from this book on my own. It's great if you already know a lot of logic.

Whoa, that was bizarre. I just finished taking the online course of his a few days ago.
