This course is not meant to be a fully analytic calculus course, but rather an entertaining look at calculus. Nonetheless, many of the ideas presented here would be difficult to understand without at least some basic algebra and geometry. To help the student appreciate the beauty and utility of The Calculus. Hopefully this course will stimulate the student to study not only more calculus, but other branches of mathematics as well. Specifically,to learn the concept of limit and how it applies to the derivative and the Integral. To be able to look at a graph and recognize the limit and the derivative of a function at a specific point. To recognize that the Integral of a function between two points is nothing more than the area under the graph between these two points. Most importantly to learn to enjoy mathematics. We always learn more about the things we enjoy. Enroll today! This is a self-paced, online course. You have 6 months to finish. An instructor will monitor your progress and assess your body of work at course completion. UniversalClass™ offers many wonderful learning tools to help you get the most out of your online course, including an online portfolio service that manages all your course completions. This class has been officially reviewed by our Course Review Committee that scrutinizes course content and instructor participation. This course has received our Committee's highest rating: 4 stars.

My friend Sir Isaac Newton and I would like you all to learn something about calculus. Together we will introduce the basic concepts of calculus in a fun and exciting way. While not meant to be the clone of a credited university or AP highschool course, it will teach the basics of calculus.

Beginning with the history of why calculus was developed, Sir Isaac and I go on to talk about the limit, continuity, the derivative and the integral in a way that even you non math people can appreciate. For those of you that want more depth, there are some extra exercises to challege your abilities.

MATH IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT SUBJECTS AROUND, AND CALCULUS IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT AREAS OF MATH.

LET'S HAVE SOME FUN AND LEARN SOME MATH.

This course offers 1.0 CEUs upon successful completion. You may take this online course with or without CEU documentation. An online and hard-copy Certificate of Course Completion displaying your coursework and CEUs earned is included with the CEU Option. We also offer an expedited Transcript Service for sending your accomplishments to a third party.

Course Lessons

  1. What is Calculus? - The lesson contains a brief introduction to calculus, including a brief history of the mathematics preceeding the invention of calculus and the practical reasons that generated its creation.
  2. This is Really the Limit - A non analytic view of the limit
  3. Continuity; That Connected Feeling - One of the most important uses of the limit is to help one decide if a function is continuous. The basic ideas of continuity are explored in this lesson.
  4. The Derivative; The Ups and Downs of Calculus - The derivative is one of the major areas of study in calculus. This chapter will describe the basic properties of the derivative, explore some of its uses, and briefly see how to find the derivative of a function.
  5. The Integral; The True Area of Calculus - An introduction into the antiderivative, also known as the indefinite integral, and the definite integral which gives us the area under a curve.
  6. The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus: Tying Together Loose Ends - We now join all of the ideas we have seen to this point and look at the fundamental theorem of calculus.

Optional Certificates Awarded

  1. Certificate of Attendance
  2. Certificate of Merit

This is not meant to be an academically accredited course. I am hoping that students will attend and appreciate the course. The certificate of merit would be given to all students who complete the course.


Certificates awarded by the instructor will vary and are based upon student merit. Any awards you earn are considered unofficial (or temporary) unless you decide to make the award official. To make an award official, there is a $30.00 processing fee that covers the customization, printing, and shipping of a hard copy of the certificate as well as access to the UniversalClass™ Transcript Service. Official awards include a serial number that verifies the authenticity of the award you earned for a lifetime (great for employers to verify your achievement).
