I really do go "...but the x is right there, why do you want me to find it?" They really should phrase that better.

Ours always said something less ambiguous, I suppose someone must've tried that some time and got smacked down for it. Usually:

"Find the value of x" or "Calculate (the value of) x".

Then again, we also had the original sign outside the exam hall saying "Exams in progress; do not pass", so, yeah.... Razz

my standard for what comes under 'basic' calc might be quite different to other people's.

for example, id class stuff like partial derivatives, integrating through rotating surfaces, imaginary calculus, and a significant portion of trigonometry to be fairly basic Razz not that i remember all of it off the top of my head, of course.

I do like me some Algebra.

Unfortunately, I never did take Calculus, which is a shame, because it looked fun.

Adversely, Geometry goes right over my head. Can't make heads or tails of it.

Ah right then. The imaginary calc, partial derivs and integrating rotating surfaces would probably have been in 1st year uni then (the rest was A-Levels for me). Smile
