The YouTube channel/website 3blue1brown has a series of excellent videos on calculus which explain some of the topics we are covering in class.

You can watch the videos on their website, which includes additional written explanations to go with the videos–see the links below, or go to their Calculus page; or you can watch the videos via YouTube (videos embedded below).

All of these are worth watching, and will help you understand the ideas behind the techniques we are learning in class!

About the MAT 1475 Course Hub

The Course Hub is a central resource created by the Mathematics Department for information and resources related to MAT 1475 Calculus I. Whether you are a student in the course or a faculty member teaching it, we hope you will find useful material there. Some of the resources you will find include:

  • Online Lessons. Here you will find (optional) online lessons for each day of class. If you missed a day of class, or you have questions, this is a great place to go!
  • WeBWorK Resources for Students and Faculty. Need help with WeBWorK? Whether you are a student stuck on a problem in the homework, or a faculty member trying to create a quiz, there are resources to help.
  • Video Resources. Stuck on a topic? Already looked at the online lesson? You can find additional videos for most topics here, including many examples worked out in full, created or selected by City Tech faculty.
  • Faculty Training and Support. Includes more general (non-WeBWorK) topics like: How do I create a discussion board in my course? How do I collect student work using DropBox? Etc.
