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 faster pace, as it is only 2 weeks long. 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You will be withdrawn from the series if you miss 2 sessions without giving the tutor prior notice (not counting the optional weekly office hours sessions).
