Series Details
About
In this course, we'll cover everything you need to know about calculus. We'll cover topics ranging from limits through volumes of cylindrical shells. The course goes at a pretty nice pace that's not too slow and not too fast. In each session we'll go over example problems together and you'll have the opportunity to try practice problems on your own as well.
✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY
You will be withdrawn from the series if you miss 3 sessions without giving the tutor prior notice (not counting the optional weekly office hours sessions).
