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.

Calculus 3 is considered by most to be a very difficult course to master in the realm of Calculus. This is because you will learn about many different topics, and each topic builds on the previous. If you don't understand something early on, the chances of "catching up" are drastically reduced as time goes on.

Topics in Algebra II primarily extend concepts learned in Algebra I and also include functions, complex numbers, exponential and logarithmic functions, use of the graphing calculator, matrices, conics, sequences and series. Algebra II follows either Algebra I or Geometry in the sequence of math courses and is often used as a developmental course at the college level under the name Intermediate Algebra.

Core topics include solving linear equations and inequalities, graphing equations and inequalities with some use of the graphing calculator, exponents, polynomials, factoring, rational expressions and equations, systems of linear equations and inequalities, radical expressions and equations, and solving quadratic equations. Algebra I follows Prealgebra in the sequence of math courses and is often used as a developmental course at the college level under the name Elementary Algebra.

College Algebra, also known as Algebra III or Advanced Algebra, primarily extends concepts previously studied in Algebra II.
