Question

I want to teach myself all of calculus in 3 weeks to a month. What is the best way to go about learning it via the internet?

Answer 1

lol XD

Answer 2

please give me some serious advice

Answer 3

The best way would probably be to go through a structured course that doesn't cost you anything. Like MIT OpenCourseWare maybe. They have tests, sample tests, solutions, assignments. All kinds of stuff.
And all of the lectures are on YouTube.

That's one idea at least. :D

Answer 4

you think i can do it in 3 weeks?

Answer 5

mmm maybe.. :( if you focus really really hard maybe. why do you need to learn the subject that fast?

Answer 6

if i want to stay in an astronomy major I have to... i need to be prepared for next spring when i take it

Answer 7

Unless you are some kind of whiz kid I don't think you'll get a very good handle on it from just a month, but good luck powering though this:

Answer 8

What level of calculus? single variable is possible, but beyond that I think it would be hard to understand it well, you could understand the theory, but would probably not be able to apply it well.

Answer 9

sure you can... Look up series and sequences on khanacadamey, then find a litst on how to test for convergence. you should be good if you understand all that.

Answer 10

Enroll in ILC.org Ministry of Education approved

Answer 11

Is it even possible though? its calc 1 that i need to learn

Answer 12

I should have been more specific ilc is for Canadians. If you are Canadian, then you can enroll in MCV4U Grade 12 University Calculus

Answer 13

oh, you said "all of calculus"...

I think these notes are all quite good

Answer 14

calc 1 is perfectly possible, you just need to study seriously, with objectives for each day and so on.

Answer 15

I like MIT couse online too.

Answer 16

Just having university notes isn't going to help him, he needs to build a foundation from Calculus and Vectors, or To take a 900 course (basically Calculus and Vectors)

Answer 17

calc3 where I am has nothing to do with vectors, its about sequences and series...

Answer 18

I agree, I was just trying to provide something you can tear through. Lectures would probably take longer than is being requested, but spending time is the only way to get a deep understanding, which is critical to calc.

Answer 19

and if you know the shortcut rules for derivatives then you can learn most of it.

Answer 20

So whats the best method to learn it then?

Answer 21

I think the MIT OCW course is the most thorough and easily accessed.

Answer 22

what about khan academy? Going through all of his lectures

Answer 23

What is your background in Math?

Answer 24

I have taken up to precalc

Answer 25

Not familiar with US courses, is that Grade 11 or 12?

Answer 26

I'm in college

Answer 27

Oh, don't you have calculus in college??

Answer 28

Yes but I wanna know it all before taking it so that I do well in it

Answer 29

Oooh, ok. Then I think you have more thatn a month, you can study the more advanced subjects while the professor is teaching the basics
