Preface Preface
These notes are not meant to be complete lectures notes for MATH 144. Rather, they are structured to accompany the lectures offered at the University of Alberta.
Each lecture in the course corresponds to a subsection in the notes. Further, each subsection is structured as follows:
- A brief summary of the content of the section;
- The learning objectives of the section;
- The instructional videos, which should be watched before the live lecture;
- A summary section of the key concepts covered in the section;
- A reference to further readings in the CLP calculus textbooks.
The idea is that you should watch the videos, review the key concepts, and complete the pre-class quiz on eClass before the associated lecture. The live lecture will then be devoted mostly to examples and problem solving. The resulting in-class notes, which will accompany this document by providing many solved examples, will be posted on eClass.
Let us now delve into the beauty and depth of calculus!
