Course description
Calculus has such a wide scope and depth of application that it's easy to lose sight of the forest for the trees.
This course takes a bird's-eye view, using visual and physical intuition to present the major pillars of calculus: limits, derivatives, integrals, and infinite sums. You'll walk away with a clear sense of what calculus is and what it can do.
