Our son took advantage of after class sessions and got As in all three Calc classes I II III. Ditto for Physics I II III. Help is available if you are willing to ask and work hard. He is working on his EE.

[Do the math]

Tell him to take as many control systems classes as possible. There are a lot of good jobs for EE’s with a good background in control theory.

I’m not certain that calculus should be some kind of litmus test for mental prowess or even studiousness. After doing fairly well in statewide math contests in high school, I barely passed it in college - but I didn’t believe in it (and I still suspect that it just “happens to work”). The only two numbers that really interested me at that time were 0 and 1 anyway. I’ve done fairly well with those since.
