Tired of Calculus Teachers and Textbooks That Make no Sense?

Calculus can be beautiful and fun. Once you start to understand it, that is. If you have or had trouble "getting" it, it is because you never formed an intuition of the basic concepts. That's not your fault, you know.

Most teachers and textbooks present the concepts as these super-hard-and-abstract things. They show you equation after equation and you don't have idea what those weird symbols mean.

In this site you'll learn calculus by forming an intuition of the concepts. You know that feeling when something just clicks in your head, right? You'll get that often here.

After you get those, the equations will just flow out of your brain.

Let me ask you a question. What do you think you will remember better. Something like this?

derivative definition

Or something like this:

derivative intuition

The graph is more useful, isn't it?

Let me tell you a secret...

The difference between students that get A's and the rest is in how they approach learning. It's not intelligence!

"A" students form an intuition of the concepts, using a graph like this one, for example. The rest just nervously copy the formulas the teacher writes on the board, then they try to memorize.

Another example. Will you remember this?

derivative intuition

Or this:

derivative intuition

Of course, after you formed an intuition, writing the equation will be easy for you with some practice.

Maybe you already get calculus and want to learn more. This site is also for you! Or maybe you are a teacher and are looking for some teaching material. You'll find lots of that here.

Don't think of this site as a textbook. I don't intend to replace your book or your teacher.

Think of me as your best friend that understands some math. Maybe think of me as your older brother. I'm not a super genius, I just happen to like math and teaching.

Ok, let's get started...

Intuitive Calculus Questions and Answers
Here you can post your questions about anything related to calculus. Other visitors and I will try to answer your questions the best we could, as quickly as possible. A new page will be created on th

Mathematical Functions: An Easy Introduction
Mathematical functions are the first things you need to understand to master Calculus. The key is to remember that they define the "connection" between two variables.

Limits and Continuity: A Down to Earth Introduction
The concepts of limits and continuity are the most important of all Calculus. They can also be the most difficult. That's why developing an intuition is essential.

The Derivative of a Function: Intuition and Examples
The derivative of a function is a central concept in calculus. Here you will form an intuition of what it is, and learn with examples to solve any derivatives problem.

Integrals Demystified With Intuition and Examples
Many people say integrals are the most difficult topic in Calculus. Here we'll demystify them. You'll find the intuition behind the definition and plenty of examples.
