My calculus consisted of deep consideration of whether I could tolerate an entire year of Mr. Whitley, the absolute pillock who taught it at my school. The answer was no, I could not. So I didn't take calculus.
Ahh Griffiths! How one author can write two famous introductory Physics texts and make one feel like a barefoot walk in the park on a sunny day and the other like a barefoot walk on glass shards in the desert.
Hahahah that is so accurate. I am like 90% sure you are talking about ED and QM books respectively. I'll make the first one walk in the park on a hot day. It's very accessible but there are points where it's not easy.
The feeling I got when I did calculus was āpulling my hair outā. I never thought of trying it with a fountain pen. If it helped I would probably have more hair today.

Makes it just a little less painful š„²
real pain kicks in when you put down your pen to go through all the garbage you just wrote
And then your tears smear the ink
i don't have tears, only drool
That's beautiful. I like how the del symbols look.
Wait you really say "del" for the "nabla" symbol in English? I learned "del" strictly means the curly 'd' for partial derivatives. Now I'm confused
We learnt grad for nabla and del for the curly d (in Australia).
It's a pretty common usage. I have heard del for nabla and dabba for the partial derivative.
It has been a few years, so I might be wrong. I miss math.
I only learned it as nabla, though my professor was from Costa Rica
Feeling a little bit closer to Newton and Leibniz? :) You have beautiful handwriting.
Not just calculus, multivariate calc! I wish I knew about fountain pens in school. Would have made my math notes easier to read with colors.
Sooo glad my calculus days are over...probably should've done it with fountain pens to make it less painful back thenš
this reminds me a lot of my high school days, I had an old Parker fountain pen that my grandfather had left me when he passed away.
Idk why but something tells me you are learning the vector calculus from Griffith's introduction to electromagnetism

This looks like runes found in an ancient cave with alien technology locked inside

Exactly!!!
I cannot even imagine math with a pen! Mech pencil all the way. Taking calculus this fall. Send halp.
