So you’ve made it through Pre-Calculus and are ready for the good stuff! Calculus is the Mathematics of change and used to model and understand many phenomena in the real world – from science and engineering to finance, economics and medicine – it’s difficult to find a field which doesn’t employ Calculus in some way. We start the Calculus 2 course with some key concepts before moving onto core and advanced integration techniques and applications. We then turn our attention to parametric & polar functions, and sequences & series.
