Links+-+Calculus+Video+Sites

I haven't looked at a tenth of everything on each site, but that tells you there is a LOT of information out there in web-ville. These are, probably, excellent sites you can use to help learn and understand the material this year. Largely I will be relying on you to give me feedback - if I notice something particularly helpful and pertinent I'll try to mention it.

[] - The video lectures from the 2007 single variable calculus course at MIT. YOu may skip lecture 7 and 23 - they are not covered on the AP exam .... Parts of a few other lectures may be skipped but I don't know how to convey that - so just resign yourself to being smarter than you need to be! **Link added Nov 2010**

[|Adrian Banner's video review] You can also get to this site from the URL www.calclifesaver.com and click on lectures. There are 24 'chapters', each about 2 hours long. I took a look at __The Calculus Lifesaver__ this summer, and thought it was pretty good as a supplement (but not for our test preparation, for which we'll use Barron's this year). I was so impressed with some of the explanations and approaches that I assume the videos will be good. Please give me feedback!!

[|Visual Calculus] "A collection of modules that can be used in the studying or teaching of calculus". The modules are different types of things - you are presented with a list and short description, and you decide which ones to go to. Some are very well done; the usefulness varies. It doesn't seem to be supported anymore, but University of Tennesee - Knoxville is keeping them around. These were very highly regarded at one time. Again - let me know the usefulness.

[|Calculus: Modeling and Application] An online 'next generation' textbook from David A. Smith and Lawrence C. Moore. The text is best viewed (they claim) with Mozilla Firefox. I'm not saying I believe this, but the idea of an online text sounded interesting - they control the windows, and sometimes want several windows open at once for (I assume) animations and pictures and what-not. So, strictly speaking these aren't video like the rest of the stuff. Maybe I'll move this description when I figure this thing out.

[|The Two Questions of Calculus] - More Edward Burger with Thinkwell (see next paragraph). A great introduction to the ideas of calculus.

[|Calculus in 20 minutes - part 1] and [|Calculus in 20 minutes - part 2] - Dr. Edward Burger (Williams College) presents the entire AB curriculum (within reason) in 2 ten minute video segments on YouTube. (a) This is an impressive accomplishment. (b) I love this guy! ... but this link is dead ... [|Try this one!]

[|Selwyn Hollis calculus videos] - (University of Houston). This is a well organized collection of short videos (nothing fancy - just the basic information). This could be a nice basis for a review.

[|Just Math Tutoring] - ANOTHER collection of math techniques on video.

[|www.calculus-help.com] - Tutorials for limits and basic derivative rules. By W. Michael Kelley, author of **The Complete Idiot's Guide to Calculus**.

If you find these or any other links helpful, please let me know so I can help others better. Thank you!

This page still being perfected :-)
