...I don't really see what's so difficult. Just finding gradients.


of complicated graphs-I know how to do perpendicular and parallel graphs but not much from there.

Well then you are pretty bad at maths.

I am in year 11 and we started calculus and all AS maths at the beginning of year 11.

The basics of calculus is very easy. To differentiate you just take the power down and multiply it by the coefficient of x, and integration is simply the reverse.
Then you can apply it to gradients and stuff.

AS Maths is very easy and is a joke. A2 Maths is fairly hard. But I can do all of AS and most of A2 Maths in year 11 which shows A-Level Maths really isn't hard.

But for someone foo your ability, I suppose finisng a gradient is hard.

And don't act like you know what your talking about, that it is gradients on complicated graphs.
Graphs are all the same!!! It is the fact you are finding a gradient of a curve, not a line. And then it is only a point on the curve since the gradient changes infrequently!

Leibniz is the inventor of calculus, I repute any claim made by Newton. Newton is great and obvviously he and Leinbniz seperately founded calculus but it was Leibniz who truly did so. And their notation wouldn't be laughed at today. d/dx is a higher mathematical notation for differentiation, invented by Leibiz, and since it is with respect to y a lot of the time it is more commonly dy/dx.

Btw egyptians had really started calulus and applied it to volumes in like 1000BC so they beat them all.
tbh, i like maths but its pretty difficult because i get confused THERE ARE SO MANY RULES!
Any ways, What have y'll been up to this Easter break? Any revision/studies?
