Calculus Without Tears
Easy lessons for learning calculus for students from the 4th grade up. Prerequisite is decimal arithmetic. The approach in these lessons is to learn calculus using a simple physical model, a runner running at a constant velocity, and the easy functions that describe it. Once the fundamentals are understood using the simple model, more complex models and functions can be studied (in Vols 2 and 3). www.berkeleyscience.com
