This course is an introduction to contemporary calculus and is the first of a three-part sequence. In this course students explore the concepts, applications, and techniques of Calculus - the mathematics of change. Calculus has wide-spread application in science, economics and engineering, and is a foundation college course for further work in these areas. This is a required class for most science and mathematics majors.Login: guest_oclPassword: ocl

This is the first of two collections of lecture notes used to teach first year calculus at San Jacinto College (Houston TX). The notes are formatted as presentation slides and were typeset using Beamer (LaTeX). All the main topics of a first semester course in calculus are addressed. In this sense, the notes are self-contained. However, if one deems it necessary to supplement the notes with a full textbook, I recommend one or more of these open-source textbooks:Hoffman, Dale, Contemporary Calculus. 2013Strang, Gilbert and Edwin Herman, Calculus Volume 2. 2016Guichard, David, Community Calculus. 2022
