I did not take a calculus course until my second year of college.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My first degree came years before my second. I had wanted to be a physicist, but I flunked calculus.

I was more interested in skating and the girls and traveling than I was in calculus.
Hard to be a physics major at Rice University if you have flunked calculus.

I was a mathematics major and really into math.
I studied math, and I was terrible at it.
During my McGill years, I took a number of math courses, more than other students in chemistry.
I went to a liberal arts college, and as part of my background, I was majoring in mathematics and physics.
I found a discarded textbook on calculus in a wastebasket and read it from cover to cover.
