Math is exactly like cooking: just follow the recipe. Symbols look confusing? Can't figure out how to solve a problem? All I hear is, "Waaah! Boo-hoo! I didn't read the introduction to the chapter that tells me exactly how to solve this generic category of problems!"
Maybe if you stop at calculus. Math isn't "following directions." That's being a human calculator. This guy is an idiot.
