Calculus is one of the grandest achievements of human thought, explaining everything from planetary orbits to the optimal size of a city to the periodicity of a heartbeat. This brisk course covers the core ideas of single-variable Calculus with emphases on conceptual understanding and applications. The course is ideal for students beginning in the engineering, physical, and social sciences. Distinguishing features of the course include: 1) the introduction and use of Taylor series and approximations from the beginning; 2) a novel synthesis of discrete and continuous forms of Calculus; 3) an emphasis on the conceptual over the computational; and 4) a clear, dynamic, unified approach.

Challenging but worth it! I did have to use supplemental tools to aid in my learning but that may not be the case for everyone.
very well organized. One needs to really think deeply and in a critical way to solve some of the questions. recommended.
It requires more than this course! You need to learn normal calculus before this to pass the final exam!
This fifth unit is highly original! I loved the "digital calculus" part.
