You could think of it that way... although the problem actually IS far more complicated. Your mileage is not a constant... it is constantly changing. While at the end you can take the amount of gas used, and divide it into the miles traveled, that is an average... which I could also express in terms of calculus.

I find it important to understand calculus... it is far more helpful than you people give it credit for.

Good teachers are special. Sadly, I only had one that I really consider exceptional before going to college and that was in 3rd grade. I'm sure I was one of those kids that made lazy teachers cringe.

Word. I hated it once it got above multiplication and division... so I hated it pretty much after 4th grade.

I had an awesome Caculus teacher in HS. I got here to UT with cal 1 and 2 already under the ol' belt... haven't taken a math class in two years because I got done with the requirements then... but it would be dumb to think that there were a single engineering class out there that isn't intensely based in cal.

Weird as it sounds, I actually enjoy math and physics. When I have a means to figure it out on my own in an environment that supports intuition. I've only had one math teacher to ever pull that off.

Your point is well taken.

heh, not an arithmetic fan :p

I can figure out all the stuff I wanna figure out with addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

On the part of the thread about "good" teachers, I had two of those. One in grade school and one in high school. I was one of the students that never had to study for much of anything, and just coasted through school easily making mostly A's and a few B's along the way. Those were the only two that I really wanted to do good for, since they really cared, or at least pretended to very well. I did everything I could to make a high A in their class, and did.

About grades, what was the scale for ya'll in school? All of my life in school we had to make a 95 or higher to make an A, a B was 85-94, C was 75-84, D was 70-74, and an F was obviously 69 and lower.

I think in HS it was 93+ for an A... in gradeschool 95+.

College? Usually 90+ unless the prof. is a real jerk.
