Calculus I Notes

Home

Overview

Welcome to my calc notes! I took this course in the fall of '25. I really liked my teacher, it's rare I encounter a math teacher that explains things in a way I can really understand. As with my other course notes, I put an emphasis on the understanding of the conceptual "why" behind a lot the topics covered.
The course was broken up into four sections;
1 - Derivatives
2 - Limits
3 - Derivatives as Limits
4 - Integrals
