About
I am co-hosting this series with Sanjay P (tutor profile: https://schoolhouse.world/u/48426). Sanjay's calculus series can be found here: (https://schoolhouse.world/series/2175). In this course, we will learn the basics of calculus, with a focus on developing a conceptual understanding of content.
