    This isn’t even an isolated thing, I was a physics math double major and I’ve got into discussions with friends, and the overwhelming consensus was that calc 2 was the worst. Possibly because it’s where sequences and series show up, whereas calc 3 is just calc 1 but in more dimensions.

      You can add me to the list of people that had a whole ass problem with calc 2. In addition to what you mentioned, my professor was the kind of guy who looked down on you if you didn’t know as much math as him and he had his doctorate in math. He laughed at people asking questions. His office hours was just him asking if you were too stupid to do math.

      I don’t know where he is now but I sure hope he’s stepping on a LEGO brick every morning when he gets out of bed.
