Calculus I
Calculus is the study of changing quantities. On a graph this is connected with the gradient of the curve, a steep graph means that 'y' is changing quickly and a shallower curve means that 'y' is changing more slowly. Calculus was developed in the Seventeenth Century in order to study this more precisely - we will see how to find gradients of all kinds of different curves. Prerequisites: Algebra, Trigonometry, solving trigonometric equations, Laws of Logarithms, solving exponential and logarithmic equations. Duration: 25 hours | Self-paced learning more

Calculus II
We have seen how to differentiate functions. Why is this important? In the real world a car speeds up and slows down continuously, and smoothly as the accelerator is pressed and released. The rate of a chemical reaction changes with time as the chemicals get used up. In both cases we can use derivatives to understand the process. In this course, we will look at these sorts of applications of differentiation.
