Calculus I
Course Summary
This course is based on 18.01 Single Variable Calculus, Fall 2006 made available by Massachusetts Institute of Technology: MIT OpenCourseWare under the Creative Commons BY-NC-SA license.
This introductory calculus course covers differentiation and integration of functions of one variable, with applications. The basic objective of the course is to relate small-scale (differential) quantities to large-scale (integrated) quantities. This is accomplished by means of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. Students should demonstrate an understanding of the integral as a cumulative sum, of the derivative as a rate of change, and of the inverse relationship between integration and differentiation. (There is a full set of videos and lecture notes.)
