So far in the year, everything we have learned has made sense to me. But rolling into these past assignments...yikes. I really don't understand it and it is awful. Finally! The picture I have chosen for the cover of this page is actually a realistic representation of myself. What few problems I do know how to do, I feel like I am just going through the motions, and do I really understand the material? (refer to meme at this moment in time). We have a quiz tomorrow and I am pretty stressed out. I think I am just missing something, something hasn't clicked yet. I am starting to understand the "u" substitution thing for anti deriving composite functions, but the latest stuff has been a little harder for me to grasp. What really confuses me is d/dx vs. dy/dx vs du/dx vs idk any other permutation of any letters of the alphabet. In the book examples they are using different ones to solve ant- differentiation problems and it really confuses me. I have never understood the dependent and independent variable thing and really it's all catching up now. I hope some one can catch me up in all of this madness. I'm sure I will understand it soon, so I will try not to stress about it too much.
