I’m A 8th Grader Wanting To Learn Calculus

[minor berry]

I know it sounds absurd but I want to prove everyone wrong, so to anyone that has tips on how to do it step by step, please help me

hi

i am 11th grader i could help you with learning basic calculus

[prime spade]

teach me too master

[maiden river]

ok bro

when

are you being online

welcome to the mathcord!

I wouldn't say there's a "right" way to learn a subject like calculus - everybody sorta does it differently, whatever suits the individual best

with that said though, here're some resources that you might find helpful:

• Stewart's Calculus - very comprehensive, pretty friendly for students, and packed to the brim with loads of good (though sometimes repetitive) exercises for you to try; you can get either a physical or digital copy!

• Khan Academy's Calculus 1 and Calculus 2 guides - their videos are pretty good at both providing intuition and explaining core ideas of calculus, and their exercises are very useful in helping students practice and build experience

• Paul's Online Math Notes' Calculus I and Calculus II - every article here is a fantastic read; they provide excellent intuition for key concepts of calculus, give loads and loads of worked examples to help show students how to solve problems, and supply a decent number of problems for the student to try themselves

I do want to remind you of one thing though: mathematics is not a spectator sport - a student cannot hope to understand math by merely reading it, they must get involved in the learning process. this almost always requires practicing a lot, and working through dozens upon dozens of problems is simply the best way to do that! I wish you the best of luck with your calculus journey, and I hope you succeed!

(PS: welcome to the mathcord to @maiden river and @prime spade too! )

bro it would be hard for them to understand

[prime spade]

let me catch up on some stuff and i should be good to go

[prime spade]

Thank

[maiden river]

bro you just first tryto know why we are using calculus and then try to apply

this would be easier

[prime spade]

when do we start sir kamalesh

[surreal ridge]

It's not that absurd, calculus is in fact not that hard if you already have a decent understanding of math(and good problem solving skills).

[prime spade]

does that apply for all of calculus or just the starter basics

[minor berry]

hello! thank you so much for giving me the help I needed, I'm going to try learning calculus tomorrow!

[minor berry]

It's not that It's just that I thought it sounds absurd.

[ornate folio]

good luck, and enjoy the journey! 🤍

[ornate folio]

it doesn’t! there’re a fair number of people like you out there in the world

[minor berry]

thank you!

[minor berry]

alright, I'll try the khanacademy calculus lessons.

thank you!

[prime spade]

we will accomplish this dream together

im a 12th grader and not that great at math i too would like to relearn pre calc and calc,

How i do it is i use ai to help me i tell chatgpt to apply the theory from a book titled "the first 20 hours" by kaufman to [specific skill] it will breakdown the skill to its tiniest sub divisions, and i practice each of those subdivisions one by one by telling chatgpt to make practice questions which i will tell it to make it harder if it gets a bit easy progressively, after that theres also 3 other usefull steps that is mentioned in the book, really great to learn any skill not to the point of mastery but rather being decent

[drifting crest]

all of calculus except complex and real analysis
