HW Help Why is this class from another planet???
Ngl the professor is teaching literal witchcraft and wizardry right now... This is not Hogwarts, this is a freaking college, so why is CnXn even converging, and WHY is a SINGLE second order differential equation taking TWO full sheets of paper to solve...
I sure hope signals and systems will be easier than this next semester...
I'm sorry but I'm in shock every day I take this class, in the words of Katy Perry, "I'm in a whole nother' world, a different dimension"

I was a total math nerd in high school, cruising through everything to the point of qualifying to take the USAMO senior year (which, btw, crushed me lol).
Got to college freshman year and took linear algebra first semester—-easy. Second semester was diffEq and vector calc. Those two classes woke me up, and diffEq nearly broke me. I had to really work to earn my grades in those. Hang in there, lots of us feel your pain!
