Welcome to the Calculus 30 Course page! This is the greatest course you will ever take in MATH!! The awe and wonder of a new and fresh “version” of math will leave you breathless and amazed!!! Well maybe that’s my HOPE! But haven’t you always wondered what the “calculus” fuss was all about?? You are about to find out…

Review/Preview videos and skills
Before you begin the course, you might want to watch some review videos from Pre-Calculus 30 before watching the Calculus videos… here is a link to Pre-Calculus 30 Course Page
The videos in the section below should be viewed before your first Calculus class if possible. There are other videos on functions, graphing, etc you may want to view to refresh your skills as well during the first week of class. I will be going over this material briefly before launching into section 1.1.
