17Calculus - Truly Understanding Calculus

17Calculus aims to supplement your calculus learning by explaining concepts, providing examples, and offering practice questions to help you better understand calculus concepts. Calculus is not easy. But you can complete calculus with the right tools and persistence.

Teach two main types of calculus at the university level based on the student's major or focus. Business calculus is typically aimed at majors in business, life sciences, and other fields that do not frequently use calculus but require an understanding of the subject matter. Mathematics and engineering calculus are suitable for students majoring in mathematics, engineering, physics, chemistry, and other fields, with calculus being an important component of their discipline. This website is aimed at students who need to understand, comprehend, and use calculus. Business calculus students can also gain a lot from this website, but we emphasize understanding how concepts and mathematics operate at a deep level, not just how to use equations.

There are many calculus videos, whether on personal websites or YouTube. However, many of them exhibit poor or completely incorrect techniques. Some teach you how to solve problems by bypassing what you need to learn, rather than helping you understand and learn these concepts correctly. We have selected the best videos that follow the following standards to be published on this website:

1. Demonstrate good and accurate technology

2. Use most of the correct symbols

3. Help you understand and use calculus (the most important standard)

4. The presenter must clearly express stress

5. The presenter writes down their work instead of using all the prepared slides (such as PowerPoint)

Of course, there are exceptions to these rules (except for # 3), but they are rare.

We would like to make it clear that we do not necessarily agree with all content in all videos on this website. But for now, we have chosen the best we have ever seen.

At 17calculaus.com, we have sorted through a large number of videos on YouTube and found the best instructors who use the best symbols, are easy to listen to, and convey calculus clearly and correctly. These are what we believe are most helpful to you. Currently, we do not record our own videos because we believe we cannot do better than these mentors

We are just me, now. I have taught mathematics for over 15 years in several schools in the United States, including all three calculus courses. 17Alculus began around 2010 as a way to help my students. I stopped teaching and moved to Europe, and since then I have been focusing on building this website.

After returning to the United States, I used these materials to build iOS and Android applications, hoping to maintain enough income to cover my costs, and even more. However, I have found that these applications have stifled my attempts to assist you with calculus, and the cost of building and maintaining them is higher than I intended. In addition, I consider myself first and foremost a mathematician, followed by a software developer, and I have spent too much time maintaining the structure of the application without having time to provide you with more exciting content. After more than a year and a half of setbacks, I took them away from the store. Currently, I believe that free websites are a better way to help you learn calculus.

My goal is to keep all content on this site free for as long as possible. I think students have already spent a lot of money on education, so this is my way of helping.

I not only enjoy mathematics, but also have a passion for engineering and science. I have degrees in mathematics, computer science, and engineering, including a master's degree in engineering. I started pursuing a PhD in mathematics at Iowa State University, but got distracted by teaching. I am passionate about seeing students truly understand mathematics, science, and engineering because I know how wonderful it feels when it happens. I also want to ignite an eternal passion for learning.
