I have one month to learn the basics of calculus from absolute zero point , consider my baseline to be at a level where I understand basic addition, multiplication, subtraction division, exponents Please help a fellow anon out
>>17042212Calculus is just a bunch of rules that you memorize.Analysis is where you would need to actually think about things.
>>17042212>I have one month to learn the basics of calculus from absolute zero pointwhy?
Human, if you are an adult that can't learn calculus in one month you should not be in a position where you use calculus. It's clearly out of your reach.
>>17042212>I have one month toI'm going to go ahead and assume you are a college undergrad freshman who doesn't really care about a deep understanding of calculus and the underlying theories. If you just want a "homework completion and A grade" level of understanding I would go over all of the examples from Paul's Online Math Notes. It pretty much goes over everything on a very basic and understandable level and it's less overwhelming than an actual textbook. If you want real purist rigor go with Spivak's "Calculus" textbook instead.

>>17042212Your cat would look good in a sombrero.Also, if you want a mnemonic for dx, watch late 90s pro wrestling episodes, which will teach you exactly how and when to suck it.
>>17042212If you dont even know fucking algebra it will take over a month.First read Precalculus by Stitz and ZeigerThen read Infinitesimal Approach by KeislerIf anything in the latter confuses you, cross reference Calculus volumes 1-2 by Apostol for alternate explanations of the same conceptsIf you already know algebra maybe you can skip Precalculus. The first few chapters of Infinitesimal Approach should give you a grasp of the fundamentals if you just want a general idea of what calculus is. Fuck, you could do that in a day.But to read through those books and thoroughly understand will take several months
>>17042212You wouldn't understand it without understanding the idea of limits, but you can probably learn to ace a test within a month. Acing tests is a totally different skillset from calculus.All you need are the rules for calculus (shortcuts and standard answers). You will be fine as long as you're not asked to explain anything you haven't seen before, or answer a question worded different from you're used to.
>>17042217exactly! i've learnt enough to pass in 10 days and we had a very proof heavy course!
>>17042500You say this like the concept of a limit is some incomprehensible filter that the average person wouldn't understand after a few short demonstrations.
>>170425161 - 0.9... = 0proves equality for ever and ever.
>>17042519Sure does.
KhanacademyI never took calc 1 and tested out
