I loved math until I hit calculus. I was good until Integral. I got Differential, after a couple of detours. And I get Integral conceptually, but I can't integrate anything but the simplest equation.

Numerical approximation is now easy as everyone has a supercomputer of the 70’s in their hands now.

Surprisingly, though, even simple differentiation/integration can be quite useful. Specially in coordinate geometry, which for simple engineering and surveying are all over the place.

I can't integrate anything but the simplest equation.That's what tables of integrals are for. Somebody has already figured them out.
