Fucking terrible.

Turns out no one actually does the calculus themselves.

Geometry or algebra I could pass, I used them frequently as a carpenter. Calculus, probably not.

Well, since I’m 57, probably not too well...

Algebra and Trigonometry no problem. Certain kinds of statistics : students t test, z scores is get by. Calculus? Not so much.

The last thing I did was some incredibly unintelligible math shit. I barely could even describe the class to you it was so out there. And the guy spoke polish or something and he spoke English good enough to make you think he was speaking properly, then would say some confusing shit.

I would score 0% on an exam from that class. Before that I took linear algebra and the professor was bad, the book was bad and easy things were made very, very difficult and to figure it out you had to pour your energies over the material or hire a third party tutor to lay it all out for you. I would score a 0 to 5% on that exam.

The calculus courses I had were extremely useless. I haven't used any of it and what I can use it for doesn't require knowing calculus or even that what I'm doing is related to Calculus

Last math class I took was pre-calculus, which had no cumulative information to build on. Just random tidbits of information combined into ridiculous tests we were expected to ace. I'd probably flunk with pride.

I'm sure I'd fail. I could probably answer one of the questions, but you needed 4 (out of 6) to pass. I might do OK if it was a take-home exam.

Probably as well as I did back then. Though, we were allowed to use everything we wanted during the exam, including books and our own notes. It was about integral calculus of 3D models. So you had coordinate systems with three axes and then had to do double integrals. Fun stuff. I didn't do well, though, since the guy holding the exam told us before the exam that it would be impossible to pass without doing any preparation whatsoever and I took it as a challenge. I passed and could probably pull the same thing off doing it again today. But not without my notes and some books on how to actually do this shit, which I had during the exam back then.
