Calculus without tears – great math resource

Morning,

Is your kid having trouble with Calculus? If so, check this out:

…These lessons are a revolutionary approach to learning calculus. There is no algebra, no trigonometry, and no geometry (beyond the formula for the area of a rectangle). Why? – because they are not needed. Calculus is the mathematics of change, and change is represented by functions. The basic operations in calculus are differentiating and integrating functions, and solving differential equations. If the functions and equations are easy, there is no need for any algebra or trigonometry at all. The approach in these lessons is to learn calculus using a simple physical model, a runner running at a constant velocity, and the easy functions that describe it. Once the fundamentals are understood using the simple model, more complex models and functions can be studied (in Vols 2 and 3) ….MORE…

Looks pretty promising!

Other useful calculus goodies are:

Enjoy!
