Calculus: Introduction Public Class

About the Class

Calculus is a very versatile and useful tool, not a one-trick pony by any stretch of the imagination. Many of its applications are direct upgrades from the world of algebra—methods of accomplishing similar goals, but in a far greater number of situations. Most of the fears surrounding calculus are unjustified. Calculus is a step up from high school algebra, no more. Following a straightforward list of steps, just like you do with most algebra problems, solves the majority of calculus problems.

Don’t get me wrong—calculus is not always easy, and the problems are not always trivial, but it is not as imposing as it seems. Calculus is a truly fascinating tool with innumerable applications to “real life,” and for those of you who like soap operas, it’s got one of the biggest controversies in history to its credit. I will be teaching a calculus course right here on WiZiQ and I am seeking recruits who would be interested in learning this interesting subject. Prior knowledge of mathematics is very useful if you are considering this. So, why not give it a try and get some more information on what exactly we will be doing?

This is not like other math classes that I have taught here on WiZiQ. Calculus has a special place of its own and I would like to share with you these meanings.
