Introduction to Calculus

The focus and themes of the Introduction to Calculus course address the most important foundations for applications of mathematics in science, engineering and commerce. The course emphasises the key ideas and historical motivation for calculus, while at the same time striking a balance between theory and application, leading to a mastery of key threshold concepts in foundational mathematics. Students taking Introduction to Calculus will: • gain familiarity with key ideas of precalculus, including the manipulation of equations and elementary functions (first two weeks), • develop fluency with the preliminary methodology of tangents and limits, and the definition of a derivative (third week), • develop and practice methods of differential calculus with applications (fourth week), • develop and practice methods of the integral calculus (fifth week).

prof. easdown

The course covers a great deal of information in a short time, but Prof. Easdown is thorough and breaks topics down into understandable sections.

Many compliments to Prof. Easdown, who was very helpful in the forums.

I want to thank Prof. Easdown (and SU) for an excellent course.

In addition, Prof. Easdown was consistently accessible and prompt responding to my questions and feedback.

I don't see a next course, but I hope there will be one and look forward to progressing with the next course in the series.Thank You Prof. Easdown!

pre-calculus knowledge

its awesome course... Mentor is skilled and explains everything clearly.But if anybody has little bit pre-calculus knowledge it will be more helpful.

The others i've tried, assumed too much pre-calculus knowledge and did not provide adequate quiz's and problems.

well worth

It's a huge time commitment, but it was well worth it.

It was well worth the effort over the five weeks.

video lectures

I prefer written notes to video lectures, so I cannot speak to the quality of the videos, but I found the notes to be concise, effective, and easy to follow.

Despite the very best of intentions and efforts, the video lectures move very fast and at times, I think there are clearer examples available elsewhere.

David Easdown communicated concepts concisely and his way of speaking and enthusiasm for math helped keep me engaged with the video lectures.

really enjoyed

The only problem that I saw was that the print on the computer was very light and sometimes it was hard to see if it was a minus or plus sign!Otherwise I really enjoyed taking this fast paced course.

I really enjoyed the journey and learned a lot.
