Curious about Calculus?
Want honest content, but a bit ‘slower and kinder’ than traditional Calculus books?
Like the way I explain things in
Algebra I,
Geometry,
Algebra II, and
Precalculus?
Then, this book is for you.
It's a complete Calculus course.
You can read it online (free, below) or buy a
printed version.
I call it the ‘warrior cat’ book because of the
print-version cover (look left)!
(You can read about these four cats in my Mathematical Cat Gallery:
numbers 23, 24, 25 and 26.)
Gone through my online curriculum through Precalculus?
Then, jump right into Chapter 3.
Haven't been using my lessons? No problem.
The first two chapters review essential material
and introduce you to all the math language concepts you'll need.
This link is for the COMPLETE book (about 47 MB).
It's a BIG file, and may take time to load into your browser.
So, you may prefer individual sections below.
However, it's certainly easier to search for stuff when it's all in one place.
If it's useful to you, a small donation would be much appreciated (but certainly not necessary):
The PRINT version of the Warrior Cat book is for those of us who like to highlight, write in margins, feel the paper between our fingers. Both the online and print versions include selected solutions: odd-numbered end-of-section exercises and Quick Quiz Problems. For ALL the solutions, I also offer a Complete Solution Manual. It includes completely-written-out solutions to:
|
![]() Understanding Calculus (the main text) |
![]() Complete Solution Manual |
I also offer a set of
Calculus Index Cards.
Hold the entire course in the palm of your hand!
