About
This series will serve as an introduction to calculus from an intuitive point of view. We will look at three big ideas in calculus--Limits, Derivatives, and Integrals--and the connections between them. This series will be mainly about building an intuitive understanding of these ideas, with a much smaller focus on problem-solving. We will still work on some practice problems, but this will be mainly to strengthen and apply the intuitive understanding of these concepts. We will also look at real-world examples where calculus concepts can be used.
This series will ideal for you if you are already familiar with precalculus concepts such as functions and graphs and are looking to study calculus in the future.
This series might also be useful for you if have already taken a calculus course in the past and want to review the main concepts from a big-picture intuitive point of view.
Note: If you have a timing conflict for any of the sessions, I might be able to reschedule the session, so please drop a message in the public discussion.

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY
While there is no strict attendance policy, I highly recommend that you attend all the sessions, since sessions will build on material learned in previous sessions. Since this series has only three sessions, skipping even one session will lead to missing a lot of content.

Since this is the first session, we'll first have a short orientation in which we'll all get to know each other. We'll then have an introduction to calculus, and what it is used for. We'll then start looking at limits.

In this session, we'll finish learning about limits. We'll then move on to learning about derivatives. We'll look at the connection between limits and derivatives, and some real-world applications of derivatives.

In this session, we'll look at antiderivatives and integrals. We'll explore the connection between integrals, limits, and derivatives, and ultimately build to the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.
