About

Hello There! 

Welcome to our Calculus Crash Course! Are you planning on taking Calculus this coming fall? Then this session is for you! Join this series to learn how to solve calculus problems confidently and come out feeling better about math than ever before. I certainly did and so will you!

In addition, It is required to have some knowledge of previous math courses like Algebra I, II, and Pre-calculus to make things much easier. Make sure to have a notebook, pencil, and scientific calculator too!

We'll run through a handful of Calculus topics, such as Limits, Derivatives, and integrals, and also their application. We'll also go through various different methods of solving problems and also be using the practice problems from Khan Academy. By the end of the series, you will be able to solve any Calculus problem on your own with enough practice and time.

I'll continuously be editing the sessions in the series so please be on the lookout. And I Hope to see you there! :)

About the Tutor

Hello, everyone! My name is Shiv and I'm a currently junior. I really like Astronomy, math, music, and Cricket. I'm a Nepali native, but I currently live in the PA US. I have always been good at math, but I was never really fond of math until I took Calculus, which change my whole perspective on math and made me realize how useful it is in the real world. I have spent a lot of time doing math and have helped my fellow friends after I realize that math can be hard for some people. My goal is to help my fellow friends around the world and learn new things in life, especially in math, astronomy, and basically everything else. I'm looking forward to seeing you in one of my sessions and helping you tackle your problem.

Session 2

Limits and continuity

Thu Jun 29, 2023, 11:00 PM

Today, We will start our first unit of the AP Calc AB, Limits. 
A Limit tells us the value that a function approaches as that function's inputs get closer and closer to some number.

This will be one of three sessions on limits. And I hope to see you there:)
