Course Description
Calculus is about the very large, the very small, and how things change. The surprise is that something seemingly so abstract ends up explaining the real world. Calculus plays a starring role in the biological, physical, and social sciences. By focusing outside of the classroom, we will see examples of calculus appearing in daily life.
This course is a first and friendly introduction to calculus, suitable for someone who has never seen the subject before, or for someone who has seen some calculus but wants to review the concepts and practice applying those concepts to solve problems.

I took this course in 16 days because i was prefamiliar with the topics . I was surprised at how much i enjoyed watching the videos and solving the problems , which were well designed to help understand and master the topics . This course was the perfect review and overview for me before diving into deeper studies .

Great course, no complaints whatsoever !
The instructor is very enthusiastic which makes you try harder, at least that was the case for me.
Of course, the material is not what one would call 'easy' so it took quite a bit of effort on my part to grind through the exercises and the reviews at the end of each week however, looking back at it it was all worth it.
The course goes over limits, derivatives, implicit differentiation, methods for approximating the values of a function, and then anti-derivatives, area under the graph of a function, and finally the fundamental theorem of calculus and integrals to stitch it all together.
As a bonus we get some applications of integrals in the last week - we go over finding volumes by thinking of the shape as sliced into 'loafs' with infinitesimal width/height etc
All in all, it's a great course.
If you're looking for a good introduction to Calculus one - I'd totally recommend this cou...
