About the Course

This course shows a natural and simple approach to a subject that has had a reputation for being difficult.

Starting with obvious examples of limits that we all see but don't notice, we begin to understand these in a geometrical context and see how to make use of this natural ability.

The patterns give rise to general results that are then applied by anyone who has the most basic knowledge od curves in coordinate geometry.

Applications in the real world are shown giving credibility and showing their usefulness.

Both differentiation and integration are covered and their relationship explained.

Though the standard (and confusing) notations are not necessary in this approach they are also introduced and explained for completeness.

What People Are Saying?

A truly empowering experience. One caveat. VM is so powerful that I personally have to go back to previous lessons to totally retrace the steps needed to arrive at such elegance. i.e. I need to be prepared to explain to other educators exactly how these amazing methods were arrived at.

This was a wonderful class and I enjoyed it thoroughly. VM never ceases to amaze me in that some method or procedure that I have used for 45 years can be approached in a much simpler manner. It's almost like "where have you been hiding all of my life?"

Another brilliant course. Thoroughly enjoyed it. It's wonderful to see how the vertical crosswise sutra is used throughout the various branches of mathematics. Also, your book on the Art of Calculus was a great resource. Look forward to future courses.
