So, besides listening to audiotapes of science-fiction this summer, I’ve decided to get Dr. Michael Starbird’s audio CD’s of Calculus.
Of course, Calculus can be hard, if the professor is uninteresting, or speaks to quickly, or just doesn’t seem to care if anyone in the room understands… (trust me, I’ve had teachers like that!) But with Dr. Michael Starbird from Texas University, he really shows true teaching of Calculus in a way that most people can understand, not just the quiet, super-intelligent beings in the front of the classroom. With these audio-CD’s, even without a background in Precalculus (I’m taking it this coming year), I can fully understand what the concept is of Calculus and how it works philosophically.
As far as the math goes, it’s harder without a visual, but I can understand the basic concepts of the Derivative and the Integral as two separate ideas that work together mathematically with limits.
If you need any help with Calculus, definitely download his audio-recordings online or buy his books (or borrow them from the library) or just do something to be taught by this guy. He really is very famous, too, for making Calculus an understandable and teachable subject.
