Series Details
About
This series is intended to be an intuitive introduction to what I consider to be one of the most beautiful ideas in math: calculus. We will be covering limits and infinitesimals, some derivative rules, Riemann Sums, and the two Fundamental Theorems of Calculus. Although I will assume some knowledge of pre-calculus, trig is not necessary.
I will add sessions as the series progresses. The series will end on June 30th.
✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY
I will not be enforcing any strict attendance policies.

About the Tutor
BL
MR
Hello, I'm Mark. I'm interested in math and science, and I would like to share my love for these subjects. Grant Sanderson and Sal Khan have been great inspirations for me, and one of the most important things I've learned from them is the effect teaching has on the teacher. I've tutored peers and my younger siblings, often finding that tutoring is the best way to completely comprehend a concept.

Session 2
Limits and continuity
We will go over the concept of limits, infinitesimals, and infinity. It'll be helpful if you have heard of limits before in pre-calculus, but by no means is it necessary.
