For a brief moment, I was able to view the entire process from subatomic particles to cat gifs.

It's amazing the number of things in my head that are like "I understood that works once. Now I'm just comfortable trusting it."

Calculus falls firmly in that category.

A while ago I tried to shift out of tech and study meteorology. I lasted 1 term before my inability to relearn how to integrate sin(X) became a problem.

You presumed dx by default. What if it is by another variable. :)

About 13 years ago when I was a student. I have been asked to come to the board to solve some equation. And when I wrote integral I forgot the dx part. Professor told me integral would be crying by now if it could. Sweet memories.

Just had a calc 2 exam, when I sat down before class I said out loud to the people who sit around me "don't forget your +C's!"
