Hi, welcome to the Calculus For Everyone series!

In this series, I will teach (explain) calculus to you, all readers of this article. I think calculus is important for everyone. Why? Because this world is ruled by calculus. The world is always changing, and it is calculus that examines that change.

Is It Hard?

Don’t worry if you feel your math skills are not enough to understand calculus, because I will try to make this discussion understandable to all readers. Even so, there are still some prerequisite materials that you must understand.

Prerequisites :

  • Algebra includes Linear equations (1 variable and 2 variables) and quadratic equations [required]
  • Ability to read graphs [optional]
  • Inverse Function [optional]

As you can see in the list above, the only thing you really need to master is algebra. Not too difficult is it?

What Will I Learn?

Here, you will learn all calculus material from beginner to advanced level. I will also provide a discussion of the related problem-set.

In general, here is the calculus material that you will learn :

  • Derivative
  • Integral
  • Differential Equation
  • Calculus In Real Life

Is This Material Only For Students?

No, this material is not just for students. Everyone can read the material and questions that are here. I have also adapted my writing style to suit everyone, student or not. However, it is important to remember that you must dedicate your time to studying calculus. Calculus is not something that can be mastered in just 1 day. So, prepare your time.

Is there a book that I can use as a reference for practice questions?

There are several books that you can use as a reference while studying my articles, here are some of them :

  • Calculus, by James Stewart. A book that contains complete material on calculus. I learned a lot from this book.
  • Schaum’s Outline Advanced Calculus. In addition to the material described briefly, this book has such a large problem set that you can use this book as an exercise.
  • Mathematical Method For Physics And Engineering, Cambridge University Press.

enough for the introduction. In the next article, I will begin to explain limits, the basis of calculus.
