Derivatives For Dummies

derivatives for dummies
I want to learn Calculus so badly.?

MIT has a open courseware(ocw.mit.edu) and have a whole complete class on single variable calculus,
complete with lecture videos,assignments,mathlets,exams and to top it all off, recitation videos.

But the only thing is, I didn't finish Algebra 2, even though I,m home schooled(10th grade), and it won't immediately reflect on any test(s),I do want to master sing variable calculus some way, somehow by the end of my junior year, so I can take a real calculus course at a community college.

I understand the idea behind derivatives, somethings about integrals, etc. Functions are ok
only logarithms I haven't done,but I can pick it up quickly.

You think it's possible to connect the dots with only algebra 1,geometry,basic trig and half of algebra 2 for dummies?

Ha,I,m obsessed with learning and understanding calculus.


The better you are at pre-calculus topics, the easier calculus will come. You sound motivated to the point that you will be able to learn it regardless, but it might be annoying to have to look up things you didn't learn previously which could result in a less smooth learning experience. I'd recommend at least *skimming* a decent alg 2/trig/precalc book so that you can be familiar with the general topics, even if you haven't learned everything in depth.
