Calculus is
the study of motion and change and can be very frustrating and overwhelming
for many students. However, with a few of the resources listed below, you
will find that calculus is quite relative in the world around us. Like so
many other branches in mathematics, calculus requires a deep understanding
that often only comes with practice and regular review. You'll find the
resources listed here to be some of the most useful to you as you learn
about the many concepts in Calculus.

1) A
Companion to Calculus
A Companion
to Calculus was developed and class-tested at Moravian by a team of authors,
all involved in teaching Calculus. The companion can be used as a supplement
for a beginning calculus course. Many examples, exercises and help sessions
are included in this companion.

2)A
Handbook For Calculus
A A book that will assist you in learning the concepts of calculus. This
is a great 'supporting' resource, written in an easy to understand manner
with clear explanations and a variety of examples and diagrams that will
help you understand and visualize most concepts. You will find that you
will refer to this book frequently to assist you to understand the concepts
of calculus.

4
This
four hour video will provide review in calculus concepts including the differential
calculus of algebraic functions. Very easy to watch, follow and understand
in a step-by-step approach. This VHS is designed to supplement/augment any
textbook. Comes with a study guide. An excellent series in which you can
work at your own speed to cover all aspects of high school calculus topics.

4)Pre-Calculus
- VHS
This
8 hour comprehensive video course includes the many pre-calculus concepts.
Topics include theory of equations, transcendental functions, polar coordinates
and much more. Study guide included. Work at your own pace with this self-directed
study tool.

5)Applied
Calculus
This
text resource introduces the applicable tools and power of calculus without
the more technical side of the theory. This does not exclude the learners
from needing finely honed skills in both algebra and problem solving which
are the prerequisites to Calculus.
|
|
6) Basic
Technical with Graphing Calculus Activities
The graphing calculator is used throughout the text in examples and has
been integrated and emphasized, although it is still not required for the
course. This integration includes over 170 new graphing calculator screens
pictured in the text. All chapters end with:Chapter Equations, Review Exercises,
and Practice Test. Most
high school calculus courses require the use of the graphing calculator.

7) Calculus
Gems
This
resource can be used to augment a calculus course and/or history of mathematics
course. The text may also be appropriate for a mathematical history course
for students with a limited background in mathematics.
|
|
8) Calculus
Refresher
A
really well done refresher course that addresses the important aspects of
integral and differential calculus with over 500 questions. Constants, variables,
functions, increments are all covered in the example questions Includes
a large chapter devoted to the engineering problems. Best of all, this resource
includes the solutions.
|
|
9) Calculus
Single Variable
A meaningful
resource for students going into mathematics as well as those going into
the sciences and engineering fields. A background in Real Numbers and the
Real Line Cartesian, Coordinates in the Plane, Graphs of Quadratic Equations,
Functions and their Graphs, Combining Functions to make new Functions and
the Trigonometric Functions is
required.

10) Pre-Calculus
VHS
An
extremely comprehensive 8 hour tutorial/course offering the essentials of
pre-calculus. Topics included on the video are: theory of equations, transcendental
functions, polar coordinates and much more. An extremely helpful study guide
is included with the VHS.
