I used to hate math in school. I was convinced I sucked at it. Now, with the help of my sweet gf, I discover... I don't! I enjoy that discovery very much and I discover all the things anew I used to despair over in school, including a lot of stuff I didn't learn in school.
The equation W=Fxcos(theta) is ok if you have a constant force. But work is really one of those things that requires calculus to understand. If a force varies based on location, that affects how much work was done. So Newton figured out that by finding the area under the curve on a (x,F) graph, you can deal with such non-constant forces. This is called taking the integral of F with respect to x, and it is written mathematically as shown on the bottom left.
Getting areas under curves is hard. That's why Newton, Leibniz, (and apparently Archimedes in ancient Greece 1800 years ago, but we lost his book until recently) invented integral calculus to do it. In AP 1, you won't be able to get the area under the parabola shown at bottom center. But you will be able to get the area under the trapezoid shown at bottom right, simply by using geometry (I'd break it into 3 pieces to do it.) If you're given a non constant force, you'll know because there'll be a graph (or they ask you to plot one.) Get the area under the curve and you've got work. If they tell you its a constant force, feel free to use W=Fxcos(theta). Note that this COMES from the area under a horizontal curve.
Obviously in a calculus based physics class we could get the area under both curves.
An exhibit at the San Luis Unit dam somewhere in the Central Valley explicating how much water it takes to make a friggin' hamburger. Incredible. Never even thought about that, not even once. I think the world has a good chance of going down the toilet, forgive the pun.

Calculus worksheets When we talk about study of differential calculus, our primary objective is to study about the derivatives of the function. Differential Calculus is the important part of calculus, in which we deal with the change of rate of quantities. Calculus is divided into two main parts, in which one is called as the differentiation calculus other is named as the integral calculus. To describe the rate of change of the quantity, we use the derivative of the function, and this process of finding derivative is called differentiation. In geometrical language, we can say that if we draw the graph of the function then the point on the slop of tangent line is the derivative.
What is the difference between plaque and calculus?
Plaque is the sticky, drab film that continually frames on your teeth. Microorganisms live in plaque and emit acids that reason tooth rot and chafe gum tissue. This disturbance causes an incendiary response by your body that can in the long run prompt gingivitis and periodontal malady. In the event that plaque isn't expelled routinely by tooth brushing and flossing, it solidifies to make math (otherwise called tartar). Analytics can't be expelled with a toothbrush; just a dental expert can evacuate it amid an oral cleaning. To monitor plaque and math, it is fundamental to brush your teeth twice consistently, floss in any event once consistently, and see your dental expert for general cleanings.
"I am the very model of a modern Major-General,
I've information vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I know the kings of England, and I quote the fights historical
From Marathon to Waterloo, in order categorical;
I'm very well acquainted, too, with matters mathematical,
I understand equations, both the simple and quadratical,
About binomial theorem I'm teeming with a lot o' news,
With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse.
I'm very good at integral and differential calculus;
I know the scientific names of beings animalculous:
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I am the very model of a modern Major-General.
I know our mythic history, King Arthur's and Sir Caradoc's;
I answer hard acrostics, I've a pretty taste for paradox,
I quote in elegiacs all the crimes of Heliogabalus,
In conics I can floor peculiarities parabolous;
I can tell undoubted Raphaels from Gerard Dows and Zoffanies,
I know the croaking chorus from The Frogs of Aristophanes!
Then I can hum a fugue of which I've heard the music's din afore,
And whistle all the airs from that infernal nonsense Pinafore.
Then I can write a washing bill in Babylonic cuneiform,
And tell you ev'ry detail of Caractacus' uniform:
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I am the very model of a modern Major-General.
In fact, when I know what is meant by "mamelon" and "ravelin",
When I can tell at sight a Mauser rifle[*] from a javelin,
When such affairs as sorties and surprises I'm more wary at,
And when I know precisely what is meant by "commissariat",
When I have learnt what progress has been made in modern gunnery,
When I know more of tactics than a novice in a nunnery—
In short, when I've a smattering of elemental strategy—
You'll say a better Major-General has never sat a-gee.
For my military knowledge, though I'm plucky and adventury,
Has only been brought down to the beginning of the century;
But still, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I am the very model of a modern Major-General."

The girl who lives in the woods recently tested one of my long held hypothesis: algebra creates spontaneous and uncontrolled head shaking...when presented with 2/x=2/x2 + 1/2 she began to shake terribly...with her head twitching violently. It resembled something from "The Exorcist". Imagine what calc would do...

saturday i called in sick to work at nearly the last minute and instead went hiking from breakneck ridge to mount beacon. one of the best decisions i've made in a while. i have had an aggressive cold/semi-flu for a week now, so opted for a five hour hike up lots of vertical routes versus another day at work stuck inside for little pay. nothing before has cured me so fast.
meant i didn't mind being a nerd saturday night and studying for a few hours before going to bed. first exam monday. ask me then if calculus is still as fun...
