Where I'm from Calc 2 is integrals. That wasn't so terrible. It was Calc 3 (vectors and series) that was the hard one.

I managed until university when I left calculus and entered "Linear Algebra" and man, I really don't like matrices.

I found linear algebra super hard until I learned it a second and then third time, from different angles. I found it harder to understand when it was taught in a pure maths context, but coming at it from the applied side made me go "oh, so that's why that's like that"

I made it through. My degree is actually in math. 15 years ago, I used to know what an abelian group is!

My multivariate calc was a separate course from regular calc 1/2/3

At the universities I went to, Calc 2 was integration, sequences and series, then Calc 3 was multivariable. They really pack all the harder parts into 2.

I thought this was taught in high school. Curriculums differ drastically between countries, don't they?

We were on quarters, so we had calc 1-4. Makes sense that Calc 2 was rough if you were on semesters.
