Calculus 2, part 1 of 2: Integrals with applications

A total of 56 hours of lectures

This is an academic level course for university and college engineering. Due to its size, it is divided into two parts. This page describes the first of those two parts.

Level - Intermediate

You need to be familiar with the contents of the four Precalculus courses and Calculus 1, part 1 and 2 to comfortably follow along in this course.

Curriculum

Make sure that you check with your professor what parts of the course you will need for your exam. Such things vary from country to country, from university to university, and they can even vary from year to year at the same university.

Explanation is very simple but effective and very graphical slides.

I listened to 50% of the lecture and that’s enough for me to write a review, but of course I will listen to the end 🙂

I have to admit that I am glad that I enrolled in the integral course and it exceeded my expectations. Much more than I expected! I will write in several installments what I recognized in that course:

1.) Every time I ask questions, Dr. Hania really tries to answer every question and never leaves a blank. Not only does she answer questions, but she answers in detail in the fine print. She explains very well and with quality, and she kept emphasizing that if I didn’t understand the answer, I could ask again. I can say that I am delighted with it 🙂 […]

This is a very long and detailed review in 9 points. Too long for our site layout, but I recommend you read it in its entirety on Udemy.com

Yet another superb course. A bargain at any price, but with the discount coupon from Dr. Wehlou’s website, this is an incredible value for the money. The production quality, graphics, and sound are all just so good. The subject material has been carefully organized and is expertly taught. I learned some new integration techniques and this course had the best explanation of the fundamental theorem of calculus I’ve ever seen. Can’t wait until the next course comes out.

Lecture is well presented and easy to understand

This is the technical core of the thing come to be called Calculus, to the uninitiated surely a dark maize. But Hania shines the light for the wary wanderer, always showing the next turn, always leading the way. With the fog of doubt gone, the devil of detail quickly gets conquered, and the menacing jungle turns flower garden, every plant in due place. This said, the task in question is more like bike riding than flower picking, practice is paramount, and it then only is for the biker to be to bravely, thoroughly, patiently and conscientiously, endure the pain and the pleasure from each day honestly performing dozens and dozens of the zillion expertly crafted exercises.

Great course. I love how many optional details are included, in case the students want to understand the topics in more depth. Also, there are so many solved exercises!
