He is a man of commitment

Is this why there is a horror tag

From what I remember,

It's really dark, but I would say it's more sad than dark, especially the MC's story is quite depressing.

Well, if u have abundance of time and money knowing how much education costs in u.s. then finish the class, but if not drop it; unless u going to work in some prestigious company where u need perfect record it’s not worthy.

I was in your exact situation in HS, got my undergraduate degree a year ago.
First of all, college applications mostly look at your gpa, sat/act scores, and recommendations they dont really care about specific classes you took since the quality of education varies wildly between high schools. That being said, instead of dropping math to boost your gpa by focusing on your other classes its much better to drop a useless class to focus on buffing your math abilities so you do well on the standardized tests.
Secondly, you will need calc for engineering so I recommend that you dont drop the class. Although it is humiliating and stressful to be falling behind in class, you need to do your best to learn the material if you intend to continue as an engineer.
Even if you completely fail AP calculus, retaking calc in college is surprisingly common for STEM majors and sticking with the class now will only strengthen your foundation. If you are genuinely considering surrendering to high school math, its maybe time to reconsider your choice of major. Not saying that to be mean, but the math classes will only get harder unfortunately. Good luck with whatever you choose

Considering that you have invested a lot of time and money into this venture. I suggest you complete highschool. But do take it easy. Focus on extra-curriculars. I have heard US high schools have amazing real life drama. Do enjoy that.

As an engineering Master's student working on my thesis, here's my two cents. Please read to the end since I think all of this is important.

First, don't feel like you have to go to college or get a job in engineering. I know plenty of people who took one semester of college and said, "Nope, I'm out", then went on to live happy lives. Introspection is hard, but if you don't enjoy solving problems, college might not be for you.

Second, don't forget trade schools exist. There are HUGE openings for people with welding experience. If you like being really hands on but not the math stuff, consider trade schools.

Third, If you still plan on going to college math is an integral part of it. Calculus is the foundation of that. Algebra will help you with formulas and Trigonometry will let you calculate forces and stress on objects, but Calculus is what lets you calculate the CHANGE of those forces.

Now as to your question about dropping AP Calculus. Check the requirements of the school you are applying to. Some schools use just your SAT or ACT scores and completely ignore your GPA. My school let me choose whichever was better, so I used my SAT score when I applied.

From a more information perspective, I took AP Calc (or equivalent) in highschool and tested out of Calculus I and II in college because I took the BC Calc. test (Which is the one you should take, by the way since it gives a score for both AB and BC when you take it.) Even if I had FAILED Calculus in highschool though (which doesn't really matter since only your AP test score counts for credit transfer), I would have still found it valuable for college. That is because Calculus is CONCEPTUALLY difficult, not mathematically difficult. Even just having taken the class in highschool will give you a MAJOR advantage when you take it in college. Many colleges will let you test out of classes too, so if you spend some time learning stuff through Khan Academy or Youtube you might be able to test out when you get there.

If you want any helpful college tips, message me anytime. I'm happy to help.
Hope you found this useful, and I wish you the best of luck!

Spend more time practicing. AB is only limits, derivatives and integrals.
I would say at least 2 hours a day. You don't understand math by reading, but by practicing. Just do every practice question you can get in the textbook. Your grades will come up pretty quick.

I'd look at what grade is required in the AP test for wherever you are applying. Some places accept 3's and most do 4's. If you think you can succeed at the AP test then that is one less course you need to take in college. Even if it isn't a core requirement, it is credits.

Ranobes is not just a deep well of despair and the worst desires that humans can have, Ranobes is also culture, it teaches you how to go to college.

Stick with the class. At the very least just focus on learning it and not the grades. You'll need calculus in university for mech E, so either you learn it now or later.

But if you learn it later, you'll be doing it right when you need it to understand the lessons and assignments. You don't want that kind of stress. Not being able to keep up is what gets many people to drop out.

IMO most teachers are pretty shit at teaching calc. By itself it's not intuitive, and a lot if not most students (from what I've seen) don't even really understand what they're doing. They just remember and repeat the steps they're taught.

Once you understand what calc actually is and what it's doing you'll gain that intuitive understanding that makes it so much easier to learn.

I would recommend watching some videos on calc. Not school lessons (although it might help to see better teachers lessons) but some explanations and history as well as examples of real life applications, like old mechanical tools who operate based on it. For example there's this old tool that can trace the outline of any single 2d shape and give you the area of it.

Two tips, just in case it's helpful:

1) it's really all about rates of change. The rate at which something changes. Once you understand how the numbers and symbols represent that, it gets easier.

2) the basis of calculus is that it all came from a tricky manipulation of graphs, geometry and numbers. It's a trick. Like using a ruler to block your eraser from accidentally erasing what you want to keep, the counting trick with your fingers for multiples of 9, or using trig and the hypotenuse to work with triangles.

Calculus is all just tricks to translate rates of change from a higher order to a lower order, or visa versa.

Look up the original trick, of figuring out the slope between two points on a graph by shrinking the distance between them, and the manipulation of the equations to produce the basis of calculus.

That's what got calc to finally click for me, and combined with examples of real applications I was able to handle it all much more intuitively.

Good luck
