Calculus

In this course, students will explore the foundations of differentiation and integration. Major topics covered will include functions and graphs, limits, continuity, derivatives, derivative graphs and differentiation of basic functions; antiderivatives, basic integrals, and basic applications of the definite integral. Students will investigate these concepts through graphical, tabular, and algebraic analysis. Our goal will be to master the basic materials, as well as to practical application of the principles of calculus to real-world problems.

Completion of this course requires regular access to a laptop or desktop computer with working microphone and webcam, as well as a reliable internet connection.

This Fixed-Paced course incorporates a blend of synchronous and asynchronous elements. Students and teacher meet live via zoom on a regular weekly schedule. In addition, students complete coursework including guided readings, interactive videos, text and video-based discussion threads, problem sets, individual and collaborative projects, and so on. While these activities are time-flexible, teachers sequence them with weekly deadlines to help students keep on track and encourage and support the development of productive time management skills.
