If your dad taught himself calc based physics, then your dad must be one bad ass mo fo! I made it through ok but I couldn't even imagine trying to go back and re-learn that stuff, much less, trying to pick it all up from scratch.i was lucky enough to be born to parents who are teachers. when i struggled in calculus-based physics, my dad taught himself the subject so that he could tutor me. i feel a bit of guilt that every student doesn't have access to that kind of help. without tutoring, i'm not sure that i would have achieved my full potential.
my folks are retired now, and they tutor anyone who wants help. i realize that this is not the norm, but it should be. we all benefit from a highly educated population.
