Calculus: Single Variable Part 1 - Functions

Calculus, one of humanity's greatest achievements in thought, explains everything: planetary orbits and optimal city size to the frequency of a heartbeat. The course introduces the fundamental ideas and practical applications of single-variable Calculus. This course is great for those who are just starting in engineering, the physical and the social sciences. The course's distinguishing characteristics include 1) an introduction to and the use of Taylor Series and Approximations at the beginning; 2) the novel synthesis discrete and continuous forms Calculus from the *why*; and 3) a new way of describing growth or decay of functions, the BIG O.
