About

- We'll go over introductory calculus topics of Limits and Derivatives to help you prepare for the class
- This series will be fun and relaxed with no strict rules, but please show up
- A prerequisite of precalculus is required
- This series is not meant to teach calculus and we won't go in-depth into topics. It's intended to give you a head start and a chance to familiarize yourself with topics to make next year easier.
- Let me know if you have any questions and I hope to see you there!
