Курс из серии "давно хотел", несколько раз даже порывалась начать, но что-то все время шло не так.

WEEK 1

Welcome to Calculus One

Welcome to Calculus! Join me on this journey through one of the great triumphs of human thought.

WEEK 2

Functions and Limits

Functions are the main star of our journey. Calculus isn't numbers: it's relationships between things, and how one thing changing affects something else.

WEEK 3

The End of Limits

People have thought about infinity for thousands of years; limits provide one way to make such ponderings precise. Continuity makes precise the idea that small changes in the input don't affect the output much.

WEEK 4

The Beginning of Derivatives

It is time to change topics, or rather, to study change itself! When we wiggle the input, the output value changes, and that ratio of output change to input change is the derivative.

WEEK 5

Techniques of Differentiation

With the product rule and the quotient rule, we can differentiate products and quotients. And since the derivative is a function, we can differentiate the derivative to get the second derivative.

WEEK 6

Chain Rule

The chain rule lets us differentiate the composition of two functions. The chain rule can be used to compute the derivative of inverse functions, too.

WEEK 7

Derivatives of Transcendental (Trigonometric) Functions

So far, we can differentiate polynomials, exponential functions, and logarithms. Let's learn how to differentiate trigonometric functions.

WEEK 8

Derivatives in the Real World

Derivatives can be used to calculate limits via l'Hôpital's rule. Given a real-world equation involving two changing quantities, differentiating yields "related rates."

WEEK 9

Optimization

In the real world, we must makes choices, and wouldn't it be great if we could make the best choice? Such optimization is made possible with calculus.

WEEK 10

Linear Approximation

Replacing the curved graph by a straight line approximation helps us to estimate values and roots.

WEEK 11

Antidifferentiation

Antidifferentiation is the process of untaking derivatives, of finding a function whose derivatives is a given function. Since it involves working backwards, antidifferentiation feels like "unbreaking a vase" and can be just as challenging.

WEEK 12

Integration

By cutting up a curved region into thin rectangles and taking a limit of the sum of the areas of those rectangles, we compute (define!) the area of a curved region.

WEEK 13

Fundamental Theorem of Calculus

Armed with the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, evaluating a definite integral amounts to finding an antiderivative.

WEEK 14

Substitution Rule

Substitution systematizes the process of using the chain rule in reverse. Considering how often we used the chain rule when differentiating, we will often want to use it in reverse to antidifferentiate.

WEEK 15

Techniques of Integration

Integration by parts is the product rule in reverse. Integrals of powers of trigonometric functions can be evaluated.

WEEK 16

Applications of Integration

We have already used integrals to compute area; integration can also be used to compute volumes.
