Series Details
About
The first session will give a general overview of the course as well as run over math concepts that create the foundation for calculus.
Each week we will do a high-level overview that teaches the basics of a few topics. We will do problems together in each session and you will be provided with independent work which will be reviewed in the next session. Keep in mind that this course will be (somewhat) fast paced since each session is only 45 minutes! Feel free to message me with any questions or post your questions in the help channels.
Some harder calculus concepts will not be completely covered in this series. I will create a new series during the school year that matches the pace of Calculus BC classes where you can ask questions and get clarification on those hard topics.
If you would like more in depth work, harder problems will be provided and you can message me if you have any questions!
✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY
