PatrickJMT has many great supplemental instruction videos for calculus! He is an educator striving to make math just a little easier for students. He has taught at the high school and university level for eight years and has been tutoring for over fifteen! He is very (VERY) clear in explaining concepts that are difficult for many people to understand. He has even helped me understand calculus throughout my high school years and really made math a lot easier to understand! USE HIM if you don’t understand something! He has short videos for almost every concept! This is a great tool to use!
Wolfram Alpha is basically a mega calculator that allows you do to almost anything pertaining to math! The link above directs you to the calculus portion of the site that lets you to input functions and actually calculates the derivatives and integrals! Note: I expect you to do your own work. If you use this resource as a way to complete your homework you are only hurting your own grade in the class. Obviously we will not be using electronics during exams and quizzes so if you rely on this site as a “cheat sheet” you’re going to do poorly. Use this as a way to check and/or correct your answer!
This link directs you to a site that provides online flashcards to help you master the required concepts to succeed and drills your knowledge on the basic derivatives and integrals. I would suggest going through these flashcards at least once a week to keep you on your toes! They have flashcards for the derivative rules, functions, trigonometric and inverse trigonometric functions, hyperbolic and inverse hyperbolic functions, and some basic integrals. Mastery of the basic concepts leads to an easier understanding of harder concepts; this site provides the tools to help you master these. Take advantage of this site, it will help you (and it will cut out a lot of work in making your own flashcards)!
This is a very useful and easy to use graphing calculator. You can create an account through your Gmail account so that you can save, print, and share your graphs! This will come in handy when you need to graph things and turn it in! One of the amazing things about this site is that you can graph virtually anything you can think of, from the Cartesian plane to polar coordinates, from algebraic graphs to trigonometric graphs, and you can even choose if you want your points to be in radians or degrees for your trigonometric functions! This is a very powerful graphing calculator that I highly recommend you to take advantage of!
