About
In each session, we will go over half or one chapter of volumes 1 and 2 of the Openstax textbook Calculus. Notes will be provided at the end of each session. This series will end just before the AP Calculus AB/BC Exam, and it will be suitable for learners who haven't studied calculus yet or want a quick review of some topics of calculus. You will be able to get a 5 in the AP Calculus AB/BC Exam if you attend every session and do many practice problems!
Please note that pre-calculus is the pre-requisite of this course! This series may not be suitable for you if you haven't studied pre-calculus or its equivalent.
