A freshman in Liberal Arts on C&M Calc 2

Before I came to college I loved math. It had always been my favorite class all through school. When I graduated high school I even got the math award.. When I got to [college] my love of math quickly died. . . I no longer understood math or calculus for that matter. Then I switched majors and I had to continuing taking more Math. Last semester I was also in traditional Calc II and was getting a D- before I dropped it. Someone suggested I take C&M CalcII. I figured it couldn't be any worse than last semester so I signed up for it. I'm glad I did. I wouldn't say that I love math now, but I am being to like it again. This class not only helped teach mathematics but it explained mathematics. The normal classes don't do this.

Comments from Students

C&M calculus has made me understand Economics and actually like it. Most people cringe when they hear that I am an Econ major, and I think their reaction results from the fact that they really don't understand it. Never have I used complex equations in Economic applications, but what I have learned visually from C&M calculus helps me understand graphs and concepts inclass everyday. This comprehension has made me realise the incredible logic behind economics, and now the subject fascinates me.
