课程概述

Calculus is one of the grandest achievements of human thought, explaining everything from planetary orbits to the optimal size of a city to the periodicity of a heartbeat. This brisk course covers the core ideas of single-variable Calculus with emphases on conceptual understanding and applications. The course is ideal for students beginning in the engineering, physical, and social sciences. Distinguishing features of the course include: 1) the introduction and use of Taylor series and approximations from the beginning; 2) a novel synthesis of discrete and continuous forms of Calculus; 3) an emphasis on the conceptual over the computational; and 4) a clear, dynamic, unified approach. In this fifth part--part five of five--we cover a calculus for sequences, numerical methods, series and convergence tests, power and Taylor series, and conclude the course with a final exam. Learners in this course can earn a certificate in the series by signing up for Coursera's verified certificate program and passing the series' final exam....

This course is tricky and also excellent. I am a computer science student from germany, and it took me quite some time and effort to pass it. The course is well structured, and can be done in time.

Loved it ! I've grown attached to Prof. Ghrist's lectures, so it is with a heavy heart that I took the final exam and finished this course. I xould really love to take another !

Lecture is fine, homework take a lot of time to finish, and some multiple answer question was stressful as you don't know how you got it wrong and need recalculate it again and again. Take much longer than the time is shown, and the final exam is kind of far away from this class ,especially only taking this one class without what told before in this course like me. Best regard for the unlimited attempt .

This may have been my favorite module of all 5 - discrete Calculus is so much cooler than I thought. Forward differences serving as discrete analogues of derivatives had me on the edge of my seat when I saw how they worked! The sneak peek at generating functions through power series and series/convergence tests were well-explained. Professor Ghrist knocks it out of the park once again!

It's an amazing course. Prof/G developed a great approach to make complex things clear and simple. I was able to refine my calculus skills and knowledge and look on some very important things from a different angle understanding them more deeply. Awesome work!

Great course; over-streched my 81 year old abilities but I thoroughly enjoyed the challenges. It certainly kept me occupied this winter. Thanks to Prof. G and all your assistants. (The test man was particulaly "devious," especially the final.

I congratulate the work of Professor Robert W Ghrist. It tests our potential to pass. It was a pleasure to complete it successfully. It's a great course.

Note: the videos are very creative, it is a "bonus to consider"

The course content is really satisfying. The difficulty in Challenges is quite cool while the homework problems and the tests are reasonable. I kind of of fell in love with math with Prof. Ghrist help.

Although still confused with differential equation, I have made great pregross on calculus, and even mathmatics. This is another to watch the world and reconstruct my mind facing problems.

Excellent set of courses! I really hope there will be a multivariable course in the same fashion.
