About the Course

The focus and themes of the Introduction to Calculus course address the most important foundations for applications of mathematics in science, engineering and commerce. The course emphasises the key ideas and historical motivation for calculus, while at the same time striking a balance between theory and application, leading to a mastery of key threshold concepts in foundational mathematics. Students taking Introduction to Calculus will: • gain familiarity with key ideas of precalculus, including the manipulation of equations and elementary functions (first two weeks), • develop fluency with the preliminary methodology of tangents and limits, and the definition of a derivative (third week), • develop and practice methods of differential calculus with applications (fourth week), • develop and practice methods of the integral calculus (fifth week)....

Great course, the professor explains with excellent examples and the exercises really reinforce the material and are challenging. Thank you for offering this great courses from excellent universities.

I have completed quite a few courses on Coursera. This is by far the best instructor. I really hope David is going to do teach another Coursera course soon - I will sign up regardless of the content!

Part of the questions are not included in the UFSP course so it is hard for student to pass the course. However, the questions are really good and can prove the real ability of the student.

Perfectly good for beginners that want to get introduced- but lacks rigorism about some subjetcs. Regardless of that, as said before, very good introductory course, and i recommend it.

A great course all around. The final week seemed much more rushed than the first four and so harder to grasp from the course material alone, but definitely worth it overall.

Great course, although there was some inconsistency between lectures, notes, and quizzes. I would have enjoyed it more if the three aspects aligned more closely.

The first 2-3 weeks are nice. However, after that course seems to go beyond Precalculus, which is a little bit difficult for a beginner.

Taught well, however I think they should do different courses for each degree as a lot of this I do not see being applicable in my degree.

wish the video showed more of what the mathematical characters meant, sucked to search for so long through the reading aspect

The quizzes at the end of each topic really helped me prepare for the module exams. The videos were also clear and concise.

Very nice course. It was a refresher of high school maths. I would prefer more exercises and increased difficulty.

The course is good, but sometimes I have trouble reading the text on the presentation since it's all hand-written.

Did not expect the course has proved how calculus works. The course is very descriptive and worth to take it.
