Wow, no Nolan or Verbinski?  What a casual.

I decided to take Pre-Calc next semester just as an elective. Am I making a mistake?  

Pre-Calc is a pain in the ass

 

 

But the misery is worth it when you get to Calc which is loads of fun. Love it

I was legit shocked Nolan wasn't there. It's like an r/movies best director list before r/movies existed.

Well I'm not getting to calc SOOOOOOOOO

[That One Girl]

honestly I'm kind of offended that he placed Kevin Smith on the same level as Kubrick.  like what the actual fuck?

I really wish my phone would stop autocorrecting "ass" to "ads"

In that case *shrug* it's probably not a bad decision either way but memorizing trig stuff is bad dumb and stupid

Honestly his placement at the end felt like a punchline

My algebra professor (who's also teaching my stats class next semester) is a strong proponent against trig and doesn't persuade people to take it unless they have to

Trig and Pre-Calc are thought as two separate classes? That seems strange to me. But trig is bad

[filmlover]

I haven't seen a Kevin Smith film since Zack & Miri Make a Porno. Looking at his output since, I'm guessing I've missed very little.

Strong proponent against it how?  Trig is all over the place when you take Calculus, but I also don't think there's much of a point in taking the class for Trig.  The main reason for that is all of your trig is in Pre-Cal and you can pick up any weak spots for it as you go.  The class itself is a waste of time in that regard, but the concepts are essential.

GOD FUCKING DAMNIT. I'M NOT EVEN GONNA EDIT IT THIS TIME. FUCK YOU STUPID PHONE 

[That One Girl]

The biggest pain in the ads is when they play the music super loud when the show you were just watching is like 5x quieter.  Very painful.

I don't love trig, but there's no working around it when you start doing polar coordinates.  And it definitely makes some iterated integrals easier when you have the option to switch to polar, cylindrical and spherical coordinates (actually axe that on spherical, spherical is pretty annoying all around).
