Those who have difficulties memorizing and applying new, unrelated mathematical techniques may say that Calculus 2 is the most challenging calculus class. On the other hand, students who struggle with making three-dimensional calculations may argue that Calculus 3 is the most difficult.
Is Calc 1 or 2 harder?
Calculus 2 is harder for a few reasons: There is no central theme. Calculus 1 is about differentiation, and integration, and ends with the fundamental theorem, unifying the two subjects.
What is the hardest part of calculus?
The Hardest Part of Calculus is Algebra
Is Calc 2 or Calc 3 harder?
For MAJORITY of students, Calculus III tend to be the EASIEST, followed by Calculus I. Calculus II tend to be the HARDEST due to difficulty of algebra. Primary stumbling block in calculus for most students tend to be weakness in their algebra.
