Let's go meet some of them now. Hi, my name is Bart Snapp. I teach at the Ohio State University and I am absolutely thrilled to be teaching this course. My name's Steven Gubkin and I'm really excited to be helping with this course. Hello, my name is Sean Corey. I'm very excited to teach you calculus. Those are a few of the companions who'll be joining us on our journey through calculus. And it's going to be a difficult journey. One does not simply walk into calculus. But to prepare you, we offer four resources. The first is this, these videos where you can watch us do some mathematics. Second, a text book where you can read the mathematics being done in a bit more detail. Third nucleus, a website full of calculus problems that react to your performance. When you get the questions right, it gives you harder problems. And if you don't know how to do the problems, it has hints so you can discover the answer. But there's a fourth resource we provide. And that fourth resource is each other. You can't do this by yourself. If you're having trouble. Post a message to the forum. Send us an email, give us a call. You're not alone. This course isn't just about doing calculus problems. It's about doing calculus problem in fellowship with one another, . And so let's get started together. .
