Calculus was an absolute mind-fuck for my algebra centered mind when I got to college. Took me probably two full months before it clicked and I basically settled on "this is still math, but it's completely different rules and the old rules don't apply at all."

- war1025 8y agoI meant it as "Don't try to apply Algebra rules to Calculus." Doing so was a major hangup that took me a while to get past.
