About

Designed and authored to prepare students for the endeavor of calculus.
Preparation for Calculus is a roadmap that will serve as your gateway to success in your current precalculus course, equipping you with the mindset and tools to succeed in your future calculus course. Once you master the concepts of limits and rates of change, you will have access to new and more effective ways to understand functions and their graphs, and you will be ready to effectively tackle calculus and apply your skills in the coursework beyond.
