1. I took in HS,
my teacher was real cool, so that made it easier. I got a 5 on the AP test, so apparently I learned something.

5. Infinite series...
...so like integral test, comparison test, limit comparison test, ratio test, alternation series test, absolute convergence test, absolute ratio test, and Taylor and Maclaurin series. It's a lot of fun :puke:

7. They throw this stuff at you pretty quick in college.
You never get a chance to enjoy it. I enjoyed approximating pi using the Maclaurin series for arctan.
