For many, teaching Calculus is a daunting task. That’s understandable considering that most people don’t make it a habit of finding derivatives, graphing integrals, and solving functions on a daily basis. But, if you have a teen who is very good at math and wants to study Calculus, you’ll probably need to find some means of help.
Fortunately, the internet has a variety of online resources including graphing calculators, online courses, free downloadable textbooks, and problem solvers (The math kind, that is. You’ll have to solve your other problems on your own. 😉 ). Below is a list of such resources that you can use to teach your teen Calculus, as well as some other higher maths. May they help you to the nth power and assist your teen with all of his functional needs.
