How to improve in word problems of calculus!?
951948
When I do word problems, I break it down into manageable chunks.  After reading the entire problem once to get a sense of what I'm dealing with, I re-read each sentence one at a time and try to write down in mathematical terms what each sentence is saying.  Often each sentence is only a portion of the overall equation, but I find if I tackle it like this, I can piece together the overall equation by looking at all the partial equations I got from each sentence.\n\nHope this helps a little.  Good luck!\n\n~ ♥ ~

well..write them down ...try to derive them (if their derivation is simple enough or else skip it )......\n\ntry to connect each formula with other one with a hint ....a small hint will help u to recollect other one ....\n\ntry to do at least one problem based on each formula

my favorite subject has always been math, but honestly, when are we ever going to use calculus? i think english is pretty important. you can always improve on your vocabulary. writing and reading is good for your brain.

Dear friend, I think your problem is either understanding or or basic mathematics ( some principles and rules ).\n\n"EVERY THING IS DIFFICULT BEFORE THEY ARE EASY"\n\nFirst understnd the peoblem and then think what are the next. Do everything effectively and efficiently. you ask your teacher once or twice or thrice or.... until you undertstood the problem. Understnding creates east of every thing. good luck...\n\n\n\n\n\nhttp://futureaccountant.com\n\nhttp://schoolingkids.com

Try reviewing your class notes and looking through your text book. Im sure that the answer you need is there. It might take a bit of thought to figure out how to do these problems! Take the time to figure it out, it will be worth it in the long run!

I have a bit of calc links from when I took the AP exams.\nhttp://www.jimmyr.com/education.php\n\nunder the section calculus. those sites were really useful.

I would do practice problems that require you to use them.  Even if you don't work out the problem all the way, understanding what formulas to use in each context is way more important than just knowing the formulas.  Flashcards are a quick and easy way too, just not quite as helpful in my opinion in the long run.  \n\nGood luck on the test.  I took a few years ago.  Just stay relaxed and don't panic.  They won't give you anything you haven't seen before, just take a deep breath and think about the possibilities for methods to solve a problem if you get stuck.  Especially on the free response, anything is better than nothing.  Give it your best, if you do that, than you can't do any better.

You have to meticulously do the following:\n1. Every day cover , at home, what has been taught yeterday and today, and read what is going to be covered tomorrow.\n2. Follow theoretical explanations in text books and solveall the illustrations and then exercise problems.\n3. keep solving similar problems at frequent intervals.

You must study and practice math .\n\nit is not a lesson you only read that . you must understand.\n\nit is good you practice and when you have problem try to\n\nfind answer or answer from your teacher .
