How to be expert in differential and integral calculus?
Answers
Mastering differential and integral calculus, as in, what’s taught in schools? If you put enough effort, you maybe able to finish off the syllabus in time.
Remember that finishing off your school/college syllabus does not mean that you have mastered all of differential and integral calculus. Yes, you may have mastered only a part of it. To do that, you need to put in a lot of effort, especially if you haven’t developed a “mathematical sense”.
What is “mathematical sense” to me?
Its something similar to spider sense.
Let me tell you this about myself. I started differential and integral calculus when I was in my 8th grade, it wasn’t in my syllabus. I just wanted to see what’s next in store for me, since I was always terrified of math. I wanted to get a head start, or at least try and understand the very basics of differentiation and integration. After that period, it has been over a decade and I still haven’t mastered anything yet.
You can’t master mathematics, you only get better at it with time provided you put in some real effort.

No. I don't believe it's possible to “master” anything in a month. Ask yourself: “What do I wish to know, or be able to do, one month from now that I currently do not know, or am unable to do?” Pick out relevant things to address this question and you will be better off for it. Trying to achieve mastery of anything in one month seems an effort doomed to failure, IMO.

Possible? Sure, why not. You're not ending with more energy than you started with or forcing two fermions into the same quantum state. It does sound improbable, but I don't know what you mean by master. If you're a fast learner and you don't have any other daily commitments you can certainly learn how to solve simple integral and derivative problems in a month. Maybe you're some kind of genius and it'll all just make sense to you out of the box. You could be the next Gauss in a month. Calculus isn't known for being easy though, and if you try to rush it you won't really understand it well, let alone be a master. If I had to take a wild guess I'd say the answer you're looking for is probably a hard “no.”
