No, I don't need to. Perhaps you need to get the point of what people are saying instead of insisting.

By what Pyro says (my courses were elsewhere and very different) Calculus 1-2-3-4, which php is asking about, seem fairly basic but not without problems that aren't straightforward and trivial. It is misleading to insist on what you are saying; if he asks, he should be told what he's in for. Encouragement is fine, great and important but insisting that it's a cinch when many will find it difficult, or even beyond their ability, is another matter.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.
