Calculus

Calculus can be an intimidating subject. For many students, even the name sounds intimidating. The truth is that Calculus is based on a few very powerful principles and once you fully understand those principles all of the additional topics naturally follow. Most Calculus textbooks begin the subject with a nauseating discussion of limits and then proceed to the introduction of a derivative which is one of the core topics in Calculus. This DVD series begins the discussion immediately with the concept of the derivative without any math at all and spends some time ensuring that this concept is solidified. Limits are used to explain the derivative via example problems beause that is how they are defined, but you will not be presented with endless lectures on abstract math topics that are not directly related to the core topics of Calculus. All of the other topics are taught in the very same manner, relying on the power of learning by working fully narrated example problems in a step-by-step fashion.

One of the greatest achievements of the human mind is calculus. It justly deserves a place in the pantheon of our accomplishments with Shakespeare's plays, Beethoven's symphonies, and Einstein's theory of relativity. In fact, most of the differences in the way we experience life now and the way we experienced it at the beginning of the 17th century emerged because of technical advances that rely on calculus. Calculus is a beautiful idea exposing the rational workings of the world; it is part of our intellectual heritage.

Calculus 2 is considered by most to be the hardest Universtiy Calculus course in the sequence, even most challenging for most students than Calculus 3. This is because you will learn about many different topics, most of which have nothing to do with another. For many, it feels like you are learning about a hodgepodge of integration techniques, sequences and series convergence rules and techniques, with new concepts such as parametric equations and polar integrals throw in for good measure. The "Advanced Calculus 2 Tutor" is a 14 Hour Course that teaches you these concepts and more with step-by-step example problems.
