Joan in GE Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 (edited) Free Videos Online UC Open Access - Gives coordinated reading from several common texts. NROC (Monterey Institute) - appears to be same as UC Open Access above. Eg. Calculus AB - semester 1 is the same National Math and Science Initiative AP Calculus wiki for AB and BC There is writing with printed equations and a voice explaining. Includes handout to go with the lecture. This is new and still developing in 2010-11 so the server goes off for a few minutes sometimes. Khan Academy MIT Openware Calculus-Help.com only has Limits and Continuity and Finding Derivatives for free Selwyn Hollis - University of Houston My quicktime wouldn't work on these though.. Free Power Point lectures Greg Kelly - Hanford High School Ones to Buy Chalkdust - goes with Larson Calculus of Single Variable Thinkwell - not sure which text they use.. Others?

Teachin'Mine Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 (edited) Another one for ones you can buy is DIVE Calculus. Great list!!! Another free power point is e-book 3000: http://www.ebook3000.com/TTC-Video---Understanding-Calculus--Problems--Solutions--and-Tips_94796.html Edited February 17, 2011 by Teachin'Mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie in MN Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Cool list. I'm going to be saving these for future reference! Derek Owens is one that abbeyej told me about. He has calculus http://www.derekowens.com/1011/course_info_ap_calculus.php Julie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belacqua Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 The MIT Opencourseware is excellent; lots of the classes include assignments with solutions, lecture notes, exams with solutions, etc. Prof. Auroux's multivariable calc lectures are really good (and subtitled, in case your student gets distracted by his pretty French accent :)). I also recommend Thinkwell's single variable calc with Prof. Burger. The instructor is wonderful, and the course provides practice problems and quizzes. The practice problems aren't especially numerous, though, so some people supplement with an exercise book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janice H Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 I am about 2/3 of the way through Ask Dr. Callahan which uses a 2001 edition of one of the Stewart textbooks. I recommend it especially for those who want an expert (I'm not a math degree holder) to choose problems to work. Dr. C is an engineer prof.; what he assigns is sufficient for our purposes. (Bio. major dd intends to take calc I in college also.) The videos are shorter than Dana Mosley videos are. This is a positive to me. I own the Dana videos but have not looked at them. The text, solutions and study guide can be found on used book portals for a total price of less than $25. I bought the dvds used. There's also some free online interactive stuff organized by chapter and section at www.stewartcalculus.com NB: Dr. C. supports even those "customers" who buy the program second hand.

In The Great White North Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 There's also the Houghton Mifflin version of the Chalkdust DVDs. It goes through the three semester college version of Larson Calculus, with a different instructor towards the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RENEEinVA Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 The Teaching Company has a course called Understanding Calculus. I know that it is not free and it is not online, however I plan to use it as a back-up in case we get stuck. It says that it basically covers everything that a Calculus AB course covers.

In The Great White North Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 I also have an older Teaching Company VCR set: Change and Motion: Calculus Made Clear. Not sure if it's still available but ebay probably gets it occasionally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joan in GE Posted February 17, 2011 Author Share Posted February 17, 2011 Wow, this is great for selection everyone! I had thought there were others but couldn't find my links. We've been using Dana Moseley via the Houghton Mifflin that IGWN mentioned (I just lumped them together with Chalkdust - but it is more correct to separate them). My son couldn't tolerate him for Precalc and used Khan as necessary, but not regularly - now maybe out of desperation and since it is easily linked to his text, he's accepting him for Calculus. I was interested to see that there are videos for Stewart. And DIVE is for Saxon. So has anyone compared many of these who could talk about the different virtues? (I'm guessing part of it is which textbook to choose but presentation must weigh in for something). Joan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joan in GE Posted February 19, 2011 Author Share Posted February 19, 2011 (edited) Here's another free one. (ETA - It goes with this text: James Stewart, Single Variable Calculus: Concepts and Context, 3rd Edition, Thompson/Brooks Cole, 2005.)

Janice H Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Can you say how you found this? Nice voice on Ms. R. I just watched the Excel video and 17 minutes on chapter 2.9. :thumbup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joan in GE Posted February 19, 2011 Author Share Posted February 19, 2011 (edited) I just found it on my list of unsorted bookmarks - so I'm not even sure when I found it! Sorry, I know that is no help. I was doing an enormous amount of calculus research in January, so I probably found it when searching for syllabi or following other links. Then it got lost in the mess. I see now that it is for Stewart. I would say to search the author, book, syllabus, video... Sorry!

Sorry, I know that is no help.However it ended up in your bookmarks, I applaud your research findings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joan in GE Posted March 7, 2011 Author Share Posted March 7, 2011 Teachin'Mine found a good website with all kinds of science and math videos on it. Since it has calculus videos, I didn't want them to get forgotten so am just adding the link here as well, as if someone is searching, they do not show up.

memphispeg Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Yesterday, someone posted Brightstorm.com as a good site for free videos. My dd has been browsing the pre-calc. ones. Good so far. Not sure what they use for a calc. text. Thanks for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teachin'Mine Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 (edited) That's the Brightstorm link that Joan posted above. :) The videos are incredibly good!!! I don't think that that any text is tied to the videos - similar to Khan Academy videos. The concept is to provide excellent math instruction for free so it's available to anyone.

Joan in GE Posted April 5, 2011 Author Share Posted April 5, 2011 Thanks to "mom2paul"'s Physics choices thread, here are the Derek Owen videos - scroll down for Calculus....(Julie listed his site before but I didn't see the video link and don't want it to get 'lost':001_smile:). It seems that they go with Foerster Calculus 1st ed, but I'm not sure (please correct me someone). Joan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
