Yeah you got it Skydog. I wasn't implying you got it wrong. Just putting in my two cents.

Well, I managed to use Maple to get 19/20 on this problem set.
I haven't learned anything, I'm still totally boned for the quiz tomorrow.
Also, I hope she doesn't look at this too closely.
Oh well.
Gonna get points, at least.
Skydog: I think we were expected to use some kind of substitution, but your explanation makes sense.
I think i'm gonna spend the next two hours studying, see if I can get any of this into my skull a little firmer.

I was the same way. Our prof would never tell us what anything was for, or what it did, and I would stay after every day, and bug him until he told me what we were doing. How hard is it to say, "A derivative is a line that tells you the slope of a function at any given point." Seriously. When we got to integrals, I said, fuck it. I'm just doing this so grad schools will not throw out my app. A C+ in calc is good enough for me.

If only my employer or my pride agreed with you.
