Description
This is literally the ULTIMATE Calculus 1 Course!!!
Basically just,
1) Watch the videos, and try to follow along with a pencil and paper, take notes!
2) Try to do the problems before I do them(if you can!)
3) Try to complete the assignments. Solutions are included to every single assignment and in some cases the solutions are very detailed.
4) Repeat!
If you finish even 50% of this course you will know A LOT of Calculus 1 and more importantly your level of mathematical maturity will go up tremendously!
Calculus 1 is an absolutely beautiful subject. I hope you enjoy watching these videos and working through these problems as much as I have:)
Note this course has lots of very short videos with assignments. If you are trying to learn calculus then this format can be good because you don't have to spend tons of time on the course every day. Even if you can only spend time doing 1 video a day, that is honestly better than not doing any mathematics. You can learn a lot and because there are so many videos you could do 1 video a day. Good luck and I hope you learn a lot of math.
Who this course is for:
- Anyone who wants to learn Calculus

I was born on a small unnamed Island in the Pacific Ocean inhabited mostly by natives who practiced mathematics on a daily basis.
My mother was a witch who specialized in Calculus and my father was a warlock who was well versed in the dark arts of Algebra.
As I grew older so did my thirst for knowledge, and so I set out on a long voyage to improve my mathematical skills. I traveled the world for years and learned a great deal of mathematics, but it wasn't until I met that raging Hobbit that my true powers started to show.
I am here today to share my magical powers with you.
Come join on me on this journey as we explore the world of mathematics together.
