like you know when you really really really like someone but they only kind of like you and the rate at which your liking for them grows is way faster than the rate at which their liking for you grows and it’s like two functions on a graph and you’re trying to calculate where they intersect but for some reason you can’t find that point of intersection and then you realize it doesn’t exist and so you cry into your graphing calculator
Ouch, yes, that is the feeling. I believe the appropriate response is “My normal approach is useless here.”
Tried to touch a squirrel. Freaked out when it got close to me.

Story of my life.
In your opinion, which is the most difficult of these classes: calculus III, linear algebra, or differential equations? Because I love math but vector calculus (like surface integrals) made me want to rip the pages of my math book into little pieces and use them as wax strips to pull out my hair….
I don’t remember Calc III being that big of a deal—it was pretty much on par with Calc II in terms of difficulty. Linear Algebra is often used as an intro to proof-writing/somewhat abstract thinking. It’s sort of the transitional course between plug-and-chug math like calculus and higher math like discrete math, algebraic structures, etc. If your school uses it this way, it will likely be hard. I did fine in Linear Algebra, but it was hard and confusing and I spent a lot of time in tutoring and office hours. Cool stuff, but you really have to work to understand it. Differential Equations is more applied, but I actually had more trouble with it than Linear Algebra. The math wasn’t that complicated—I didn’t really understand how we were doing things. I was just confused all the time. We had an awful textbook, though, so I don’t know if it’s normal for it to be this hard or not.

Hank, if you see this, I hope you know that this isn’t even the tip of the iceberg.
This is pretty impressive…
