But in reality, it’s just a study of limits, derivatives, and integrals. That may surprise you because most people think Calculus is this daunting, vastly complex course. So, if Calculus can explain why we learned the skills we gained in previous courses, maybe we should know a bit more about what it entails?Īlright, so there are only three major topics in calculus. It enables us to understand change in various real-world situations, finds maxima and minima, optimizes functions, and understands rates of change.įor instance, Youtube and TikTok employ calculus in their algorithms to determine which video should be displayed next by optimizing for view time.īut did you know that our knowledge of slope, area, and trigonometric ratios can all be explained using calculus? And how calculus is the glue that links all of these incredible ideas and topics together?

This branch of mathematics is one of the most important and widely used branches in the world. …did you know that few people realize the beauty and power of calculus. Or maybe you have a passion for math, and you want the adventure of learning a new ‘language.’.If it’s just a challenge you crave, perhaps you just want to prove to yourself that you can do it.As in order to pursue higher-level science and engineering courses, you will need calculus, as it is required.In some cases, the decision may have already been made for you… The good news is that there’s no need to worry!īecause after teaching calculus for the past 15 years, I’m going to give you the best way to approach learning the material.
