Call me crazy, but I know that I'm just fine.

I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised. When people ask me about it, I tell them that algebra and trig are simple but hard, and calculus is complicated but easy (At least first semester. BC is a different matter.) By that I mean that math until now has been simple concepts and difficult problems, whereas calculus is difficult concepts and relatively manageable problems. It takes a while to understand the concepts, because a lot of the ideas are really abstract, like infinite limits and infinite series. But there will be some point for each section that the idea will “click” in your head, and suddenly you’ll fly through the derivatives. In my opinion, this semester is a lot more doable and a lot more interesting than trig. (But don’t forget the unit circle and basic definitions/Pythagorean identities or it’ll come back to bite you in the ass.) Limits feel kind of slow and tedious, but when you get to derivatives you suddenly understand why it’s important. I’d say that a lot of people in my class were genuinely excited on the day we first talked about derivatives.

Plus, I’m always available if you need help :)
