It's because their brains are smaller.

Maybe try the integration required for doing physics in computer games? ;-).

EDIT: Didn't notice Pandemonium beat me to this :-).

The answer is:

1/2(x + (sin2x/2)) + C

That's because it's A-Level Maths.

(In reply to Hedfix's statemant about it being pointless)

It's not necessarily about it being useful in everyday life, if you learn about integration and pass your A-level Maths, you have a bigger chance of getting into a decent university. This leads to a better career and more money etc. Th

That is why.

It's not just A-Level, it's Higher as well.

Actually certain places (like banks) want people straight from finishing their GCSE's and since a pretty high proportion of people graduate now having a degree is counting for less and less.

Employers want people with experience that's applicable to situations and work in the real world.

And since when has a 'better' career and 'more money' been 100% linked?

Also there is such a thing as being over-qualified and funnily enough the people doing the hiring can feel threatened if you're more qualified to do their job than they are.
