I dropped university calculus for the third time because I felt I was not prepared enough to ace the class.

My background in pre-calc is really shaky.

I forgot how to deal with logarithms altogether.

Any tips for a 29 year old trying to re-enter the world of basic college math?

if ur 29 and dont understand what u need to do ur already a failed person, stop wasting time trying to go to school cause youll be 34 before you graduate. You really think people are going to want to hire some fucking THIRTY FOUR YEAR OLD who just graduated from a college?

fucking take up a trade and stop trying you dumb fuck. We need you biologically inept morons to move rocks.

Go to fucking khan academy and learn basic calculus. Climb the ladder and then go back. It looks like all three times you have expected the professors to carry your dead weight.

However, whatever you are doing, drop it. If you couldn't figure out what I just told you by yourself then you have no business in university. Go apply at Mc Donald's and live a happy and fulfilling life.

I'm actually coming out of a trade. I've been in tool and die for years, but manufacturing is not what it used to be and I'd like more mobility in my career.

Also came out of a long term relationship so I feel energized and reinvigorated for a challenge, while I'm not bogged down in debt or family.

But thank you for your concern.

Im 33 OP and have not graduated yet. Im a Systems Engineer for a major media company.

I took Calc II like 2 years ago and finishing up an accelerated term of discrete math right now, along with a programming class and 2 business courses.

I should have my BS by the time I am 34. Also working on pre-mba courses so that I can enter a 1 year MBA program asap after obtaining my BS.

Working full time and taking 12 credits this term.

Anyway, my strategy for math classes has really not been to master anything, but identify the areas needed for specific homework and practice test problems and work on that. I also ask what type of problems will be on the tests. They typically follow a specific format.

These young shits don't realize they will forget 95% of what they learn in college and that 100% of the people you meet in the real world will atest to it. Keep this in mind, and your strategies for passing classes will become more efficient.

FYI there are people making over 6 figures that forgot how to do logarithms as soon a the test was over.

Don't let these little faggots get to you. If you pop quized these fags on math problems 1 month after a test, I gurantee the majority of them would fail miserably.

My guess is OP is not ready. He can do it, I can see it because he'll grind through the bullshit. But I believe he wants to live life a little bit. Which is common with some engineers I've met. They got their degree in engineering in theri 30s after fucking around in theri 20s with college degree or high school diploma. This just means OP doesn't want to live his life in an office without living a bit. Emotionally he is not ready.

OP I'm not a mathematician, but this is what I'm using to self-study mathematics.

---
High School Precalculus/Elementary Mathematics:
---

[Basic Mathematics by Serge Lang]
This book is good as it goes through most of what you are going to need to go on to more advanced topics. Excellent exercises as well. Don't expect colorful graphics and picture-filled examples, this is mathematics in it's very raw form and is written by a world renowned mathematician. Proofs are included as well, so it's automatically better than your average run-of-the-mill precalc textbook.

[Algebra by I.M. Gelfand]
Another excellent book, both this and the Lang book should be completed if you want to have a strong grasp of precalculus.

[Trigonometry by I.M. Gelfand]
Same as above, only focused on trigonometry and complements the Lang book as Basic Mathematics doesn't cover it as extensively like this one.

[Method of Coordinates by I.M. Gelfand]
Again same as above, focused on the Cartesian coordinate system, complements the Serge Lang book.

[Functions and Graphs by I.M. Gelfand]
Once again complements the Serge Lang book with more extensive exposition of functions and related concepts (including inverses etc.)

You should be able to advance into calculus now as doing all of the books above will give you a very solid grip on pre-calculus concepts.

---
Single Variable Calculus:
---

[Calculus by Michael Spivak]
This is a meme book on /sci/, but it's cited as one of the best calculus books in existence. It goes through everything you need to know, with beautiful exposition and proofs of everything. It's difficult and complicated, but at the end worth it.

---

I'm not too well-versed on books that should go after these, but I suppose going onto Principles of Mathematical Analysis by Rudin will be appropiate right around now along with a solid textbook on multivariable calculus (Apostol's Calculus Vol. 2 or Spivak's own Calculus on Manifolds) I'll let other anons fill in after me.

The exam I've coming up is quantitative methods, it's sort of a "bridge" between statistics and econometrics with weird ass math mixed in. I've already passed statistics and econometrics but I'm having difficulties with this.

I've joined Khan academy and I'm starting at SQUARE ONE. I'm doing shit like "How many sheeps do you see in the picture"

Saying that your background in pre-calc is really shaky doesn't really help anyone give you advice. What specific things are you missing? If you can't tell us that much, then you should probably take pre-calc (Although when I took Calculus 1, we had pre-calc review for the first week or two.) again.

Logarithm stuff necessary for calculus is mostly like learning laws of exponents/logarithms, graphing them, and some other minor things like change of base formula/natural logarithm tricks. It's not too hard, it should take you very little time to pick up on if you just read out of a pre-calc book or something online.

You basically want to have good knowledge on a lot of functions exponential/logarithmic, inverse, trigonometric, composite, etc. before you take Calculus -- good algebra background in general will help you out a lot.

And at 29 years old you will never get an A anyway. You are over the hump old man. Focus on just finishing before you get aged out completely.

Mix trig with analytic geometry and you should have a good foundation for calc. Most of Calc I wasn't terribly difficult. Just remember the rules and apply them. Power rule, Chain rule, etc. make things much easier. The hardest part for you will be in the beginning with some difficult factoring. Trig was harder IMO because of proofs and "you can only work one side of the problem" which meant all factoring and trig rules.

I feel like Calculus was easier than Pre-Calculus. I'm in Calculus II now and it couldn't be more straight forward. You just need to do homework and remember methods/formulae.

Its not anything too complicated, as long you do the homework you should be alright. Calculus is probably the easiest course I'm taking this semester. The other math classes require a little more thinking.

if you're just getting into mathematics then you must practice.

it doesn't matter your age, you have to be willing to invest lots of time and effort not only in practice but in forcing yourself to understand the concepts behind the expressions, so that you don't just remember how to deal with logarithms but you have an appreciation (some intuitive understanding) of their meaning and purpose; not just how it works but why it works.

it may seem difficult but #1 you must not be afraid; if you get discouraged and convinced that a complete understanding is beyond you, then it will be much more difficult to put in the honest effort.
and #2 is putting in the practice and working through concepts; if you cant spare the time and effort to practice like mad, then you cant learn.

i went to iraq, but i didn't lose my legs.

did 4 years as a gas turbine mechanic working on helicopters, got out, worked on more rotating machinery for 6 more.

finally hit a point where i'd pretty much learned everything i could from the technician level, so i took my GI bill and went to school for mechanical engineering.

its fucking great. between muh veteran and all the job experience i have, i get loads of scholarships and intern offers. between the housing stipend from the GI bill, and the refunds i get back from scholarships, i clear like 40k$ a year just getting an undergrad.

i sit on ass and read books and get fucking paid for it. i've never been happier.

I would guess four years would be enough.

i liked it, still do. but i pretty much reached paycap at like 8 years and i was limited to a handful of companies that i could work for.

i'm actually bummed that i won't be on the shop floor as much, but hey, salary man perks are pretty fucking good from what i've seen.

You're either able to pass the class or you're not. They were are you aren't.

I passed Calc II with an A, without even going to lectures and without even opening my book at all. I saw the material for the first time on the exam (which counted for 100%) and was able to derive all the formulas from scratch. Ahh, the joys of having a 160 IQ. :)

Time to stop fucking around, seriously. Go thru all the math stuff in Khan Academy up to calculus and actually understand it. Then try go thru the calculus shit. This is not rocket science. Just stop fucking around and expecting you learn without doing shit.

Online resources were pretty helpful when I did calculus in first year of uni. Khan academy was really good.

Also, why must you be a perfectionist? Wouldnt it be better to just get a decent grade and take the paper just once, instead of dropping papers? I understand if you are aiming for an academic role or postgrad study, but still...it's a waste of time dropping a paper just because you won't get an A+ for it. It would also be expensive.
