The thought of taking a required calculus course can make students anxious, with many believing it's only for the mathematically gifted. However, mastering calculus is achievable; it's primarily an extension of algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. If you can handle these subjects, you can tackle calculus. This book is tailored for three types of readers: 1. Students enrolled in their first calculus course who find their textbooks unclear. It covers key topics like differentiation, integration, and infinite series. 2. Individuals needing a refresher after some time away from calculus, especially those preparing for graduate studies. 3. Adults seeking a straightforward introduction to the subject. The book simplifies calculus, connecting it to familiar algebra and geometry concepts, making it accessible to non-students. Explanations are clear and devoid of complex jargon, using real-world examples to illustrate calculus principles. Topics include limits, continuity, integration, and sequences. While calculus can be challenging, it's a manageable next step in a logical progression from previous math courses. Embrace the opportunity to learn calculus without the intimidation factor.
