Accelerate your Calculus skills! Calculus builds on the fundamentals of algebra, expanding them to explore how quantities change in relation to one another. This lesson introduces the concept of the derivative-one of the core ideas in calculus-by relating it to real-world concepts like position, velocity, and acceleration. Through clear, step-by-step examples, students will learn how to interpret and calculate these rates of change using graphs and worked-out problems. By the end of the lesson, students will have a solid foundation in understanding derivatives and how they apply to everyday life.

Calculus essentially takes the fundamentals of algebra and extends them to include rates of change between quantities. Calculus is extremely powerful and very useful in the study of Science and Engineering, motion of bodies, fluid mechanics, electricity, magnetism, and is the foundation for nearly all branches of science. The Calculus Tutor Series is a complete 17 lesson series covering all of the core topics in detail. What sets this series apart from other calculus teaching tools is that the concepts are taught entirely through step-by-step example problems of increasing difficulty. It works by introducing each new concept in an easy to understand way and using example problems that are worked out step-by-step and line-by-line to completion. If a student has a problem with coursework or homework, simply find a similar problem fully worked on in the series and review for the steps needed to solve the problem. Students will be able to work problems with ease, improve their problem-solving skills and understand the underlying concepts of Calculus. Host, Jason Gibson holds M.S. degrees in Electrical Engineering and Physics from the University of Texas. He has been teaching Math Tutor programs since 2004, with his proven methods of helping students understand basic math and physics principles step-by-step, using practical examples.
