If you want to see Isaac Newton's seething passion, watch "The Invention of Calculus"

Let f(x,y)=x^2-xy,what is a simplified expression for f(x,x-y)?

If you failed a quiz on the unit circle, taking a calculus class at MIT (or anywhere) isn't really in the cards (at the moment). You have to know algebra pretty friggin well, and all the high school precal you've done in the past is just assumed to be common knowledge. it sucks, but it's wicked too. math can be funny like that.

Fuck, my first day of class I failed a unit circle quiz. I'd much rather take the class at MIT rather then high school.

That's what I've been trying to explain to my group mates, I told them that you can't become inspired out of nowhere, you must work hard before motivation strikes! 100% hard work and no talent.

you right but but this mit but some people should

If you think this is easy just remember even in your AP calc classes in high school you spent several weeks talking about a limit, and before that your teacher probobly just spent a day or 2 talking about calculus before doing any math at all. SO yeah they may not know much but they are already learning at a very fast rate.

A summary would be: Study and do Research.
