In The Great White North Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 I recently acquired the set of Calculus DVD's (with Dana Mosely) and have been comparing them to the Foersters Table of Contents, hoping to not have to buy yet another textbook. Since the DVDs are supposed to be Calculus I, II and III (Multivariable) and there is an 85% - 90% overlap with Foerster, I am coming to the conclusion that Foerster (Calculus Concepts and Applications) covers more than Calculus I. Is this correct? If so, where does Calculus I end and Calculus II begin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAR120C Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 I think traditionally, Calc I is Differentiation and Calc II is Integration.... but the local universities here are starting a little Integration in Calc I to take some of the load off Calc II.

Jane in NC Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Most Calc I courses cover the Fundamental Theorem of the Integral Calculus including some basic integration. Often a Calc II course begins with solids of revolution, then moves to integration techniques, followed by sequences and series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
langfam Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 My son is doing this course. Calculus 1 ends when you have finished chapter 5 of the Larson text. You might be interested to note that the instructor from Chapter 6 on is not Dana Mosely. You can also go to the Chalkdust website to look at the course outline. http://www.chalkdust.com/caloneout.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plimsoll Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Calculus goes on forever. There is no limit. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiana Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Calculus goes on forever. There is no limit. :) I thought a limit was one of the concepts you learned about in calculus. Are you telling us it doesn't exist after all? :(:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
