Calculus: Single Variable Part 1 – Functions
Discover the core ideas of single-variable Calculus in this brisk course, ideal for engineering, physical, and social science students. Learn Taylor series, l’Hopital’s rule, and the language of growth and decay. Emphasizing conceptual understanding and applications, this clear and dynamic course offers a unified approach.
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.
In this first part–part one of five–you will extend your understanding of Taylor series, review limits, learn the *why* behind l’Hopital’s rule, and, most importantly, learn a new language for describing growth and decay of functions: the BIG O.
