For those keeping score at home, the only points I have so far are from homework. We’ve had 3 rounds of homework collected and so far I’ve acquired the following points: 91, 98, and 85 which gives me a total of 274 points out of 300 (91% – the homework points get tweaked down to a total of 200 points at the end of the semester). Next Thursday is our first exam (100 points). A C or better and I’ll stay in the class. Anything else than that and I’m pretty much screwed for the rest of the semester.

Something of interest I’ve learned: The higher the math class, the longer the problems get (and more paper you’ll need). Something else I learned: differential math class and calculus 3 do NOT look at all exciting. I keep hearing, “you’ll need this skill for differential math or for calc 3.”
