About

We will go through an intermidiate class of Calculus by working problems together in each class. The topics will cover integration, its applications, techniques for it, and introduction to differential equations, sequences, series, power series, parametric equations, and polar coordinates. You should be knowledgeable in limits and derivatives before enrolling in this series. The session times are set to two hours, estimating the time you might need to understand the entire topic. It might take less time than that. It will depend on how well is everyone getting the topic.

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

You are free to attend any session you wish to. Attendance is not mandatory since the class is intended to compliment a calculus class you might be taking or have taken. Attendance to all classes is encouraged since (as all topics in math) they build upon each other.
