Pre-university Calculus
Are you a high-school student and are you going to start a science or engineering Bachelor study? You’ll make a good start at university if you follow this free on-line course: Pre-university Calculus. It will help you review the following topics: functions, equations, differentiation and integration. Calculus is an essential part of any engineering or scientific study. Watch the video on de edX course Pre-university Calculus (Calc001x).
