Passing Calculus


If you are like me, you have failed calculus at least once.

About 35 years ago, I failed calculus. Twice.

One of the goals of this site is to document my journey, (more than 40 years after leaving high school) through my Computer Science degree.

To get that degree, I’m going to have to pass calculus, and for the last 6ish years, have been seriously gearing up for that task.

Over the years, passing calculus has become an obsession. My “great white whales” if you will.

One of the things that has kept me on this path is learning more “about” calculus. In doing so, I gain more context. Context gives perspective, and makes it easier to stay engaged.. Below is one example of a video that I found useful. I hope you will find it useful too.

That didn’t help either.

Calculus has, over the years, become an obsession, my “great white whales” if you will. One of the things that has kept me on my path is learning more “about” calculus. Learning more “about” calculus provides more context. Context, like a GPS makes navigating the journey more interesting, which makes it more fun, which makes it easier.
