Currently annoyed by the Nintendo DS "Maths Training" game advert that promises people it will help improve their "calculus" skills when it is just pretty basic arithmetic...

Unless of course there's some sort of integration and derivation problems the game gives you that weren't shown on the advert.

Maybe you have to play it to level 10 to get to the calculus?

Suspect my current Polynomial Age would be 250.

I had to take three levels of calculus for my undergrad degree. As much as I disliked all the other math courses I'd had to take up until that point, there was something about calculus that just clicked and I really loved it. Not that I have any use for it now...but hey, I can say I did it! Good luck. ; )
