Since 2012 this blog has been written with teachers in mind, hence the title “Teaching Calculus.” Students may read it too; I hope they do and find it helpful. Please share any of the posts that you think will be helpful with them.

This year I plan to write a series of posts for students. The first post will appear next Tuesday August 22, 2023. It’s called “Why Limits?” and will discuss briefly why we use limits and how they fit into calculus. Following weeks will see post on Infinity, continuity, and then derivatives.

My idea is to introduce the topics, to help students sort through what they are about to learn, and why. I will not be providing detailed notes; that’s your job. I hope I can provide a thorough line so students can get an idea of where they are going in calculus and why.

If you find the posts helpful, please share the link with your students. Ask them to “Like” the post (If they like the post) or add comments, suggestions, and especially their questions using the “Leave a Reply” link at the very end of each post.

Following the timing suggested in the Course and Exam Description, the posts will be timed to appear at least a week before you get to the topic (even longer for schools starting in September). This is so you may read them in advance and decide which to share. Give the links to your class when they fit your schedule.

As always, I am happy to have your suggestions for posts and your students’.
