Video Tutorials in Calculus and Modeling 

Brian Mortimer is Associate Professor of Mathematics at Carleton University. He is currently on administrative leave after completing fifteen years of administrative service to the university.

To learn a skill, you must practice. Writing your own notes will also help by forcing you to put ideas into words. It is very helpful if you try to explain what you are studying to someone else. Generations of teachers have observed that they first reached deep understanding of a discipline when they started to teach it.

-The intention of this tutorial series is to provide students with video lessons in the basic elements of calculus, its applications and special topics. These are the memes of calculus – a world-wide cultural practice.
-These videos are complementary to other learning vehicles such as lectures, reading, peer discussion and lots of practice problem solving. They do not constitute a credit course on their own but may help you get credit in another situation.
-The videos assume that students have competence in using school level algebra, working with functions and also know how a graph represents a function. You should already know something about trigonometric functions, logs and exponential.

Link here for a detailed list of each series

includes importance of calculus and basic differential Calculus tools

such as Newton's Method, exponential models and optimization

will include numerical integration, Fundamental Theorem and integration tools

such as math modelling and geometry of the trig functions

Each video has a dynamic table of contents so you can select the parts you need to watch.
