Scope and Objectives In this course, we will explore the theoretical underpinnings of the classical single-variable calculus. We will prove the familiar theorems upon which calculus runs. We will encounter a number of new objects, and we will also catch …
I very recently got turned on to Geogebra, probably the world's most awesome and low-barrier-to-entry mathematical software. The best part of Geogebra is that you can do most everything through the web client or the mobile app. (I have the …
