Is there anyplace online to learn calculus?

I want to get a handle on calc before I go back to college and take the course.

Can I get an engineering degree online?


Hmmmmm.

Here's one I found with a quick google search: karl's calculus tutor . It looks decent. Personally I think you should just buy the course's textbook before you take it and learn from that, or get any year 1 university calculus or senior highschool calculus textbook to study from... Btw, have fun with some of those integrals ;).

If I were going to do that, I'd just go buy the book and start working on that. Then again, I would never do that, but more power to you if you have the dedication

Anytime I think I will have trouble with a course I do this: I buy that courses textbook and if available solution guide months in advance. (You are going to purchase them anyways, so no monetary harm is done.) Then I read the text and work as many sample problems as I have time for (using the solution guide to check). By the time the class starts, I have a good background and can sit back and learn during the lecture instead of frantically trying to write down everything the lecturer says (meaning you aren't learning much, but just copying).

Some universities will let you take every course online.

Just buy a bunch of extremely old textbooks from half.com or something. Calculus hasn't changed much over the years :D
